Rats in Fenton Said to Show Man Eating Tendency
Whittemore Champion quotes Cook Bailey stating rats in Fenton have developed a man eating tendency. Mrs Ranney was bitten through the finger bone in the night and Mr Ranney woke to find a rat clinging to his ear. He shook it off after a hornpipe dance, leaving a very sore ear as a memento. The farm once faced a rat infestation of growing magnitude.
