Someone asked not long ago for untold stories about early days in Grand River area. My Grandmother Catherine Ann Davidson Cone (born l883) was the youngest child of John and Rebecca (Crees) Davidson and if truth be told was a little stinker. She loved to tell the story of when Mason Henry McKee also known as Byrd McKee was "courting" her sister Floy. Byrd would ride over on horseback to visit Floy. While Floy was entertaining him, Grandma hid his saddle (she probably had help) forcing him to ride home bareback. She used to laugh and say "oh the air was blue when he left". It didn't scare him off as I remember visiting them in the late l950's on many a Sunday afternoon. Mary Cone Stewart
