The Story
In the legend collected by Ed Okonowicz for UDaily, Charlie Miller lost his head while riding through the churchyard during the Battle of Cooch’s Bridge. A patch in the church wall became part of the tale. His headless horseman is said to search along Welsh Tract Road and nearby highway margins. Distinct named churchyard and Charlie Miller variant; not a second bridge profile. Battle details and wall explanation are folklore.
