Susquehanna County- Rattlesnake Stories: (Hallstead) on Saturday, about noon, as Mr. F.S. Barnes, Mrs. C.W. Barnes and two young ladies were picking berries on the hill south of the silk mill, Mrs. C.W. Barnes, being tired, sat down on a rock to rest, and leaning on her arm she felt a sting or bite on her left arm. She at once said "I am bitten by something," pulled off her dress sleeve and there were the marks of the bite of a rattlesnake (the snake was lying there by her). Mr. Barnes at once corded her arm and cut it with his knife so it bled freely and got her to the house a short distance, and called Dr. Merrill to attend her. He did all he could and the chances are now they will save her life. Before getting the doctor they gave her all the liquor she could drink and kept her supplied with it some time. (Glenwood) Two large rattlesnakes were killed on the farm of C.W. Conrad, Esq., on this place, Monday. While Miss Mabel Wescott, accompanied by her brother George, were out picking berries, she discovered two large snakes lying on a rock. She immediately notified her brother, who killed them.
