There was one error in the piece; the Fertile woman who died in Climax (MN) was actually from Fertile, MN, not Fertile, IA. We live close to Fertile, MN, and every time we pass through town I remember that headline and my DH wonders why I'm snickering.
BTW, my son's football team plays Climax---when my son's team trounced them, I quipped to my husband that the game was anti-climatic. <groan>
