$$$ A 96-year-old woman in Marshfield proved age is no factor when it comes to protecting your property. She stopped a thief in his tracks when he tried to rob her grocery store. Margaretta Wolf has owned Wolf's Grocery Store in Marshfield for 50 years. Monday, a masked man came in demanding cash. "I said, 'I'm not opening up that cash register and that's it.
