F Around And Find Out — The Old Fashioned Way CONTENT WARNING: Gun-Related Violence
My great-grandfather and great-grandmother lived in a rural lumber town in the early 1900s, and they had a large garden behind their home, like many families did. When my great-grandmother noticed that her tomatoes, green beans, and cucumbers were looking a little thin, she mentioned it to my great-grandfather.
He decided to sit up for a few nights on the back porch. Sure enough, late one night, he heard people talking and saw someone lighting matches out in the garden. He let loose one load of small bird shot from his double-barrel, heard some screams, and saw shadows running away.
When my great-grands went to church the next Sunday, the pastor was “home sick” for a few weeks according to the daughter, who had one arm bandaged up from “thorns”.
The pastor did recover, and he had some scars on his face and neck from his “illness.” Bless their hearts. My dad loved to tell that story.
