150 years ago Jacob Cooley ordered his African American slave Hosea to build a chest for his first
child. Hosea set to work,
crafting a wooden (wooden american flag) chest of some remark.
For some unknown reason his master was displeased with his efforts and beat his slave to a pulp,
killing him. Cooley’s other slaves vowed to avenge the death of their friend and sprinkled the dried

blood of an owl in the chest and had a ‘conjure man’ curse the chest. As if by magic, Cooley’s first born
died in infancy and over the forthcoming years a total of seventeen deaths were attributed to the chest.
Eventually the curse was lifted by a ‘conjure woman’. The chest can be found in the Kentucky History
Museum in frankfort ky. (frankfort beach)
