Six weeks before he was due to retire<\/p>\n
My grandpa was called to a break in at a hardware store in town<\/p>\n
He found three boys from the city there<\/p>\n
And told them to surrender their weapons<\/p>\n
They did nothing of the sort and shot him six times<\/p>\n
When my mom heard of this she went in search of these kids<\/p>\n
And found them resting near the state line<\/p>\n
They drew their guns but did not fire they just laughed at her<\/p>\n
That was their big mistake as mom shot all three boys in flash<\/p>\n
And as they lay wounded and screaming<\/p>\n
She finished each of them off with a coup de grace<\/em><\/p>\n The whole thing was investigated but no charges were ever brought<\/p>\n And the State Line Killings remain an unsolved mystery<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Although I never met either of them I was aware of a beautiful Jewess<\/p>\n Who lived with her Orthodox husband at Haddocks Farm<\/p>\n She was much admired by the menfolk of the town<\/p>\n Which caused some friction\u00a0 although she was not to blame<\/p>\n So not everybody was not totally upset after the killing at the farm<\/p>\n There are many different stories but I believe my cousins<\/p>\n It seems that Miriam (her name)<\/em> had been conducting an affair<\/p>\n With one of the seasonal workers that they employed at harvest<\/p>\n At first it was secretive but they grew careless and were soon discovered<\/p>\n It seems that her husband had suffered a flat on his way to town<\/p>\n And had returned to the farm so that he could ring the garage<\/p>\n He discovered them naked in bed together in their lovemaking<\/p>\n A fight between the seasonal worker and the husband developed<\/p>\n Which was unfair contest as the man of the fields was much stronger<\/p>\n The husband was left stunned on the floor and when he had recovered his senses<\/p>\n He saw his wife (who was still naked)<\/em> holding his gun in her slim hands<\/p>\n She pumped three bullets into him and left him to die<\/p>\n His body was not discovered until late the following day<\/p>\n By then his wife and her lover were long gone and have faded into history<\/p>\n There are various versions of this story none better and the other<\/p>\n The farm remains empty to this day and is said to be haunted<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Six weeks before he was due to retire My grandpa was called to a break in at a hardware store in town He found three boys from the city there And told them to surrender their weapons They did nothing of the sort and shot him six times When my mom heard of this she […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9720"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9723,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9720\/revisions\/9723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
