- Saint Anthony's Statue Feb. 1938
There was a girl that was always wishing that she could get a man to get married to, and she prayed to St Anthony, she was praying for years, until at last, she got tired of it, and she gave it up, the window was down and she threw the statue out the window.
There was a man passing by and the statue hit the man in the head so the girl brought in the man and fixed up his head.
He stayed with the girl and he married her. His head got better and they lived happily ever afterwards.
