Centennial History Book Grundy Co. Mo. 1938 George Bunch's cabin stood near Edinburg. A storm came up and the wind broke a limb from a tree near his cabin which sounded like a crack of a rifle. George heard it and thinking it was Indians who had been in the territory wrapped several children in blankets and he and his wife hurried out into the open prairie where they hid. All was well until the baby let out a wail which caused the hair to stand on end on Bunch's head. He said "For God's sake wife stop that crying or we will all be scalped." "Oh George I can't replied the Mother. "Choke it" said George in desperation, but the baby stopped crying. Years later George was greeted by his friends as "Choke it George."
