"Grandmother LeFevre" known to so many for so many years (she was
nearly 100 years old), was tall, straight as a soldier, and quick on her feet. One winter morning in her 98th year, when a mist had put an icy coating on the kitchen porch, she went out quickly to feed her chickens. Not noticing the icy surface of the floor, she slipped, and falling, broke her hip. The shock and injury was too much for her system, and
in a couple of weeks Grandmother departed from earthly scenes.
