- Hidden Treasure 6-12-37
There is a hidden treasure in a field near Clara at the foot of a tree. It was buried there a long time ago by a rich man, who was a miser & did not want to spend his money. It consists of a box of coins. A boy named Jim Clery went to look for it & he dug down very deep until he reached the box he took it up and opened it. It was very heavy. He ran home quickly with it. When he reached home he did not want anyone to know about it so he hid the box safely and nothing have been heard of him or the coins since.
