To the youngest sometimes go the spoils, good and bad.

Back during the early 1800's a couple was living near the Gunpowder river. The couple had six girls and one boy. The husband left his wife and ran off with another woman. The wife was left alone to raise the children. The woman worried about money to raise five children. She resented the youngest child who was the son. She disliked the boy because he looked like his father, and she was sure that he would grow up to be like his father. People who visit the area have heard a little boy screaming. Some people have said that they saw a little boy running across the road. Someone has placed a sign on the road that says "listen." People have heard voices in the woods and the sound of screams.
