There was an item here year or so back - 'bout a farmer who was carried to the cemetary on a flat bed trailer pulled by his favorite Farmall. Pallbearers were all dressed in bib overalls. Think that was out of Ohio.

Local funeral director contacted us a while back, wanted to borrow a John Deere A, for a funeral. Story was that the farm wife (the deceased) had hitch-hiked out to the Deere factory to get a tractor for her husband and their farm. This was war time, and tractors were hard to get. She got to the factory, was allowed to see the management. They got on the phone, and found one for her in Lansing Michigan, at a dealer. She got back to Lansing, and insisted on riding the truck from the dealer to the farm for the delivery. One tough farm lady - wouldn't take "NO" for an answer. they wanted to display a Deere at the church as part of the funeral. We didn't have what they needed, but was able to direct furneal director to a friend who had what they wanted. My hats off to her memory.
