Farmer Makes Final Trip With Old Tractor
A Minnesota farmer who died recently took his final trip behind his beloved 1941 Minneapolis Moline GT tractor thanks to his family who knew he wouldn't have wanted it any other way.Instead of a hearse, the casket carrying the body of J. Stanley Larson, Owatonna, was transported to the graveyard on July 14th on a hay wagon pulled by the tractor. Larson's son Jeff drove.
