When I was a kid growing up in the 60's I remember that there was a tin cap ontop of the General Store. There was a story circulating that the 'tin cap' saved a soldier fighting against the americans. It bore a bullet hole in it and was displayed on top of the General Store. Some years later vandals stoled the Tin Cap. My grandmother who was born in Tincap in 1900 told me of that story.
