October 20: Jenny Part V

Remember the newspaper article with the 3 rings not stolen even though all the cash from the store she was carrying was “stolen”? When Jenny died she left those 3 rings behind. Having no living daughters, her youngest, my great-grandfather, kept them. His wife Anna wanted nothing to do with them, the story goes.

She buried the 3 rings in the backyard.

Three days later they were on the kitchen table.

Then she threw them away.

Three days later they were on the kitchen table.

She tried to destroy them with some sort of a caustic chemical.

Three days later they were unharmed.

 My father tells this story; I assume his father told him. But where from there? Note the 3’s.
