Remarkable Coincidence of Mules Across Continents
In 1919 Burton Minner worked on Elvin Van Pelt’s Iowa farm with mules Anna and Margery who later sailed with U.S. troops to Europe. A January sale sent the team to a government mule buyer, and a letter from Burton in Germany claimed the same mules pull mess wagons there. He recalled a wire nose mark and the animals’ names as familiar.
