IS THERE A GRIMM’S FAIRY TALE HIDDEN HERE??? With lots of time to search out good stories, I turned to Mary’s ‘Grant County history book’ a couple days ago and found this little anecdote that still lingers. - The year was 1926. A family was moving to a new farm with their loaded Model T and a couple of wagons pulled by horses, driving 54 head of cattle, a Fordson tractor, plow, and other machinery. It took them from Sunday until Friday to reach their destination. On top of one of the wagonloads sat a crate filled with chickens, and on top of it rode their pet coyote, most likely salivating all the way.
