Erma Farris' horse killed 1907
Erma's horse was hitched with another belonging to a Mr. Henry to a breaking plow to plow a garden at Erma's House. "...the Henry horse became fractious, pumped against the Farris horse, knocked it down and continued to plunge until it pulled the sharp point of the plow (held by Charles Fisher) into it completely disemboweling it....The horse was killed and put out of it's misery. This was a hard blow on Miss Farris as she teaches school at Robin Green and used the horse every day and can ill afford to bear the loss." A collection was taken up to buy Erma a new horse.
