St. Charles (Illinois) Chronicle, 4 June 1936

Farmful of Snakes
Bennington, Mich. - St. Patrick would have found a much more fertile field here in pioneer days for his labors against snakes than in Ireland, according to a record left by S.B. Bugbee. He reported that upon purchase of his farm in 1837 he took a short stroll and killed 40 snakes, many of them rattlers.
