Mrs James Young and her six month old son Ralph visiting from Piqua Ohio faced a startling encounter when a large rattle snake slithered from behind wall paper in the Beavers residence at Leatherwood. The family fled the room then returned with weapons but found no sign of the snake. The old log house cracks likely allowed the reptile to slip in.
