The February 1938 Sunday Mirror Magazine section mentioned that after Katie Stege’s death, when her personal property was sold at auction, in addition to her 35 Persian cats, there were 48 rabbits, 17 ducks, 4 goats, 22 pigs, 19 sheep, 4 lambs, 99 chickens, 4 bulls, 5 cows, a horse and countless pheasants and wild turkeys roaming the place.
Your Dad and I were there that day of the auction. Was very interesting We didn’t stay around for the opening of the cat house!
