[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5778276, member: 18110"] It's really kind of weird how I ever heard anything about it. A stranger to me asked my last name...they were shipping something to me. When I told them, they ask...do you know a "name"? It was such a a unique name... actually a nickname for my grandfather. I said yes. They proceeded to tell me that they had bought their farm from him. This, I had never heard of. To my knowledge he had never lived in that county. Said something about 3 kids owning it before he did...my grandfather was only 10...but he was the baby, so... He told me something about their father had been shot and killed... crossing a fence... trespassing. With my grandfather then deceased, I called my grandmother and asked her about it. All I got was..."We don't talk about that stuff". I just let it go. Several years later, I was talking to my dad and something reminded me of it, so I asked. The story I originally got was something about that he had got caught trespassing before (same place) and that the man told him to never come back. Well...he did go back, and got caught again... trying to leave. The guy shot and killed him. I said something to Dad about that being a pretty severe price for cutting across someone's land. Dad said....pfft, he was over there sticking it in the man's wife... Must have been pretty good stuff to be worth dieing for... 😂 Edit...but then again, the whole story could be BS. Something about the dates don't add up. I may never know the truth. [/QUOTE]
