Well, not actually Grandma Mattie. First, she wasn't enough of a hero for the paper to get her name right, and that alone should leave you wondering how they got the story with the detail they tell. So, it should come as little surprise that in a paper four days later, they have a letter to the editor from the boy's parents thanking another woman and explaining that Mrs. Frazee was the Merle school teacher in the previous school year.
Totally true or not, it's a great story, though.
