I remember Bob Fee and his "pair of oxen" during the 1959 Greensburg Centennial. I know that he drove his team of oxen in "The Greensburg Story-Of This Be Proud" pageant. There were at least 20 episodes that told the story of Decatur County from the beginning until 1959. I am sure that Bob and his team were in the pageant in the part that told of the pioneers clearing the land. Now this is priceless, Bob's "team of oxen" was just Black Angus cattle that he had trained to walk real slow like oxen would. There is a picture of George Littell with his real oxen team in the Centennial booklet (cost 50 cents). Bob could always find some fun in about everything. He was a great guy and I'll never forget those "oxen."
