Such awesome memoribilia!!!! And the story of that cow, dropping dead from seeing your great great grandfather's coat is a hoot!!! hehehe!! It must have been a slow news day ... but got a lot of laughs. Well... except from Mr. Casteel. What a shame. They probably stood their with their mouths handing open and eyes bugging out when it happened though!~!
Copy of a contract to purchase beets from my great great grandfather dated 1895 and my favorite..a reprint of a newspaper article dated March 23, 1900. It says: W.E. Casteel lost a very valuable milch cow Monday in a very peculiar way. He had called F. Koehler (my great, great grandfather) into the barn to see the animal and she became frightened at the fur coat worn by Mr. Koehler and after a few frenzied lunges dropped dead. The loss is a serious one to Ed.
