"A farmer's daughter had two suitors who didn't know about each other. When they found out they fought each other to the death. The first to be killed owned a black dog which proceeded to kill the man who killed his master. The farmer's daughter having lost both suitors committed suicide and was buried at the crossroads - hence Dead Maids Cross and Dead Maids Farm."
