Narrow escape from blacksnake attack in Pike County woods
A 14 year old servant girl, in Jerome Crockway’s employ, avoided death when a large blacksnake strangled her as she sat after gathering turtleberries near a log. She strangled the snake with her hands and a hickory withe, killed it, and dragged the six foot eleven inch reptile home with her Newfoundland dog nearby. The odd tale sits among other local notes and a political update on Democratic gains, plus a curious hair pin found in a tree by E O Evans in Jackson township.
