Grandma Weiss and the Cow

by

Clinton Getzinger

My ancestor Karoline Salzsiedler Weiss 1807-1908 was known to be a strong woman in old age.  In her 80's she was trying to get a cow to nurse her calf.  She wouldn't, so Grandma took it by the horns, knocked it over, and sat on the cow while the calf nursed.  Grandma Weiss lived in the area of Benkendorf.  

That is something I would have loved to have seen a photo of!!
