Chivalry Not Dead In City Rail Incident
Mrs Onalee Timmer of Grand Rapids says chivalry remains alive after a fall while running for a bus on a slip street. She limped home recounting how men stepped over her as they boarded the bus at 1400 South Arthur in Amario. Mrs Jones, Swedish war bride of Joseph P Jones, and Mrs Morin, Mexican native since 1912, are noted in the tale.
