Bears and wolves haunt early Elyria settlers tales
In the 1830s to 1840s Elyria’s settlers hunted bears and wolves that roamed the woods and village. Bears attacked pigs, a man felled an old bear and cubs from Middle avenue, wolves pursued locals, and a lone wolf fought town dogs until hunters killed it in Huron county.
