Child Bitten by Rattlesnake Near Ellis Corners
Little girl Geo Wilson, three miles southwest of Ellis Corners, was bitten on the hand by a large rattlesnake with nine rattles while reaching for a chicken in the yard. Neighbor Thomas Treadwell rode to Burlington for doctors but found both local physicians away, then secured Dr Gubbins in Ceresea who treated the child with antidotes. The snake was later killed in a wash boiler after being knocked from the girl's hand.
