About 1900, an old black man who had worked for the Parrish family for several years asked them what he should do with $1000 he had saved, in $20 gold pieces. They advised putting it in the banks at Glasgow. Uncle Lige, as he was known, didnt trust banks, and since he didnt own any property, he asked the Parrish family if he could bury the money on their farm.
A few days later, Uncle Lige brought a small iron pot, the gold coins, and a broken-handled shovel to the big house on the farm. Telling the owner he was going to bury his money, Lige walked down Beaver Creek, around a bend and out of sight. He returned about thirty minutes later, with only the shovel. He told the owner that if he died, the money was buried a few steps away from the creed, on the right-hand side.
Lige died a few days later, and the landowners son says the money has never been found. The old Parrish farm is located about four miles southwest of Glasgow
