The Sleeper's Locket: Why Harwick's Four Acres Never Yielded a Plow

A single word-acknowledged-was folded inside a tarnished locket, wired to a nineteenth-century stake and left in May grass in 2019; the locket's engraved date is May 14, 1887, the same day the land's owner died. Who assembled a stake cut before 1970, a locket from 1887, and baling wire made between 1930 and 1955, and why was it placed on those four acres known as the Sleeper?
In this episode, we trace the documents and discoveries that surround a four-acre parcel northeast of Aldine Road, the locket found on the Souchet's eastern bank, and the people named in Harwick's records, asking how deed practice, family decisions, and an object left in a field held a choice in place. What combinations of law, memory, and deliberate acts kept those acres untended for generations?
Person: Angela Wilson
Date: May 14, 1887
Location: four acres northeast of Aldine Road
Event: locket found on Souchet's eastern bank
Author: Scott Baker
- The locket's engraved date is May 14, 1887 and contains a single handwritten word: acknowledged.
- Gail Russo found the stake and locket in the second week of May 2019 while checking trotlines.
- The stake was hand-cut and dated stylistically to the nineteenth century; the baling wire was identified as manufactured between 1930 and 1955.
- Angela Wilson transferred the four acres to her son Martin in March 1887; Martin was 22 that year and later charged with livestock theft on April 9, 1887.
- Scott Baker spent eleven years researching the four-acre blank and published his findings in the Souchet County Historical Quarterly in spring 2019.
