The Grahams continued firing at the cabin for hours, with fire returned from within. As the battle continued, a drove of hogs began devouring the bodies of Tewksbury and Jacobs. Although the Grahams did not offer a truce, John Tewksbury's wife came out of the cabin with a shovel. The firing stopped while she scooped out shallow graves for her husband and his companion. Firing on both sides resumed once she was back inside, but no further deaths occurred that day, and after a few hours the Grahams rode away." The site below has other details, but the hogs back up your belief, Baby Boy. My wife's gradfather was a veterinarian who raised some hogs. When she was a child he would allow her to go with him to feed the hogs, but always warned her never to get close to them, nor get into the pen. Stan
