Every so often, while researching Prentice families, we come across a heart-warming story that just has to be shared with our viewers.

In the Cleveland, OH, Plain Dealer dated 22 Jan 1928, was the story about "The Little Red Hen." It read in part as follows:

    A little red hen that traveled 80 miles to a Cleveland poultry house and narrowly escaped being somebody's Sunday dinner is back home again with her friend and owner, Silas Craun of Kansas, OH, twelve miles west of Fremont.

    Wednesday, Craun had sent a load of poultry to Fremont. It wasn't until after the truck had gone that he missed is pet Rhode Island Red hen, his pride and joy for several years who had always tagged along while he performed is farm chores.

    After days of frantic telephoning, his little red hen was found in a Cleveland poultry house, identified by a metal tag. She was carefully returned to her family nest in Silas Craun's home.
