A Long Hunt With a Dummy Driver in Magnolia Township

The venture ended with a spring chicken supper and a comic scare as a dog leapt through a window. A later segment notes Garrardus P. Deyoe’s life details and a family obituary for his passing in Henry and Hennepin, with church and Odd Fellows connections mentioned.
