A few years ago, my uncle was killed in a grain bin accident. The fire dept cut huge holes in the side of the bin in an attempt to get him out quickly. It was a large bin and still fairly full when it happened.
When my aunt and cousins returned home, after making arrangements, about 5 or 6 hours later, there wasn't a soybean in site. The loose pieces of grain bin had been picked up and stacked behind the barn. The yard looked like it had been swept clean.
Even his semi he was loading into had been taken to town and unloaded, then parked in it's regular spot.
Not a single neighbor took credit or mentioned anyone involved. When my aunt and cousins asked at the elevator, they were only told the beans were delivered.
There was an awful lot of work done in a short amount of time at the drop of a hat. Still puts a lump in my throat when I think about it.
Nice to know there are still good neighbors out there in other parts of the country and not just around here.
Thanks for the story.
