>>50337 Ah yes, Mighty Mary, ever since I read her story in the 18th Edition of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader I've wondered how widespread that incident was. Apparently she only went after Walter "Red" Eldridge because he smacked her in the head with a stick while she was eating. She grabbed him with her trunk, threw him into a wall, and then stomped on his head while he was dazed. She was later "executed" by hanging from the arm of a "derrick car", which was used by trains to load and unload lumber. The only reason it was done in Erwin was because that was the closest place it was possible. People like>>50742are the reason they try to forget about it, while the citizens of Kingsport (the ones that actually demanded she be killed) got away with their reputations unscathed.
