1891 A Turtle Dropped from the Clouds
There is much curiosity manifested in Genoa, Mich., about the starting point of a five-inch turtle, which dropped from the clouds about that place during a recent thunder storm. It landed upon its back, with a loud noise, in a small pool before the home of Fred Fless, one mile from Long lake. On several occasions within the past few years showers of angle worms and small fish have fallen in the same vicinity.
