Ernest Burkhart. Cowboy and his sister, Elizabeth, also now dead,
had witnessed the Reign of Terror from inside their father’s house
of secrets. Margie said of Ernest, “He took away everything from
my dad—his aunts, his cousins, his trust.” Though Cowboy was
haunted by the knowledge of what Ernest had done, he adored
Mollie. “He always spoke fondly of her,” Margie recalled. “When
he was little, he’d get these real bad earaches, and he said she’d
blow in his ears to make the pain go away.”
