Wildlife encounters echo through Ovid memories
In a Trumansburg area feature, memories surge of cougar stalkings near a Hillsdale mother and an 1807 tale of Miss Van Dorn escorts pursued by a panther in Ovid. A bear attack story recalls Samuel Weyburn fighting a wounded bear, ending with the animal drowned. Modern dangers shift to machines, yet wild shadows linger.
