Robert W. Forrester family

A story that should be from Ripley's Believe It or Not
Jack Forrester was plowing his field in Oct 1973
and happened to spot a wallet in the field.
Now that would be one in a few million chance any day.
It was full of credit cards, ID and $866 cash.
Now Mr. Forrester, takes the wallet, drives 40 miles south,
across the US border, to the Farmer's Bank at Crosby ND.
He instructed them to return the wallet to it's owner.
It was returned shortly later to Mr. Frank Hart
a Spencer Iowa Automotive Dealer.
Mr. hart and 2 friends went duck hunting in that field
a full year earlier, and lost his wallet while there.
Now that is an honest farmer!
Mr. Hart claimed he would pay a reward for it's return.
Let's hope that was followed thru on.

A two faced kitten was born at Bromhead
at the turn of the century, considered a rare deformity.
