The sexton fled and Mary left the vault and set out to walk home. She knocked on the door of their home. The servant girl looked out of the window and was startled to hear a familiar voice saying
Open up, I am your mistress

It is said that a farmer found a baby in a basket beneath a Haigh tree at Walsden, together with a parcel containing the word Reuben, clothing and bedding, and £10. The foundling was named Reuben Haigh after the tree where he had been found, and he was raised as part of the family.
The story tells that an unknown man – rumoured to be the child's natural father – had been seen in the district on the day the baby was found, and he seemed to be watching Reuben, and made many enquiries about his welfare. The man was said to be a wealthy fustian dealer from Lancashire. Some time later, an anonymous benefactor purchased the lease on a large area of land at Inchfield – Pastureside – and this was then handed over to Reuben as a gift. He became the tenant of Calf Hey Farm and Pastureside Farm, and became a well-known farmer and weaver in the district

The throat of a horse cut by its rider
On Wednesday evening, an accident of a most lamentable and peculiar character occurred at Southowram. A young man, Sydney Haigh, son of Mr Haigh, a farmer of Chapel Lane, Southowram, was riding home on horseback and in doing so called for a scythe at the blacksmiths.In going along Chapel Lane, there was a clothes line across the road which caught the heel of the scythe and pressed the blade underneath the neck of the horse. The scythe had got entangled with the clothes line, and the horse feeling that he had a force to contend with, pressed on, and the blade of the scythe came into contact with its throat and cut it fearfully. The horse screamed loudly, and the rider dismounted and walked it home, where, to put an end to its sufferings, it was shortly afterwards killed
