The Pump Handle, the Missing Shoe, and the Boy Who Vanished

A cast-iron pump handle was found pressed fourteen inches into a four-acre field with a child's leather shoe knotted to its neck - both photographed in May 2011 - and the paper trail that followed reaches back ninety years to a vanished farmhand and a blank in a church register. Who decided a seven-year-old would be denied the communicant column in the burial record, and what else did the town quietly erase?
In this episode, we follow the discoveries made in uncatalogued town boxes and county ledgers, tracing how a 2011 field find connects to records from 1919-1922 and the people named in those documents, and we ask whether local power shaped which men stayed and which disappeared.
