Rattler’s Bite Fatal for Dale County Resident
Dale County resident Sam Brennan of Newton Rolis One was fatally bitten by a four foot rattler in a cotton field late Thursday afternoon.

Brennan, who worked on the Ozark WPA armory project, had 130 hours two months and was picking cotton for extra money. Survived by wife and six children.
