Cow Pins Grandma in Garden Until Grandson Fights Cow Off, Dec. 15, 1924

Young Boy Saves Grandmother’s Life. . . Cow Stamps Mrs. J.L. Stuart for 30 Minutes Before Help Arrives

Raleigh News and Observer

Mrs. J.L. Stuart is seriously ill at her home, three miles south of Raleigh, from the effect of injuries received Thursday when she attempted to drive a car from her garden. As she approached, the cow turned on her and threw her to the ground. For nearly a half hour the cow held her down with her feet in her stomach. Mrs. Stuart’s grandson, John Grady Bennett, who is only 12 years old, heard the cries of his grandmother and fought the cow off with his bare fits.

Mrs. Stuart was very badly bruised but the doctors think that unless there are complications, she will recover.

Fifteen years ago, Mrs. Stuart had a very narrow escape from being bitten by a mad dog. The dog attacked her as she was leaving the house, and she fought him off until help reached her.
