Rattlers Removed After Haunted House Claim Near Muntardeville
In Roundstone Kentucky Mrs Welborne believed her home haunted and persuaded her farmer husband to tear up the hearth. They found 42 rattlesnakes in a nest, six inches to six feet long, which were boiled with water poured on them. Neighbors avoided visits and Mrs Welborne fell nervous, later recovering. The tale is joined by a garbled advertisement and local humor.
