The Swamp

ByMelanie Peterson

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Sumpfig Library was neither breath-taking nor mind-boggling. However, to be fair it did make it hard for some people to breathe because of the accumulated dust, and it was a mystery how it was still standing. As the oldest building in Cumberland County, it was more of a historic landmark than a source for research, and even then, the only historical significance was its antiquity. The story goes that the Sumpfigs were a German couple in a predominantly French town. They were extremely wealthy but rather unsocialable and didn’t really fit in with the rest of the townspeople. Supposedly, both of them disappeared by the swamp and were never seen again. Everyone assumed they had drowned, but no bodies were ever found. The government proceeded to sell the house and used the profits to build the library. I wasn't sure, but if I drowned or vanished, I doubted anyone would name a library after me. Probably not even a street.
