1880, Hambden Township

Additional Anecdotes And Incidents

Some time in the early settlement of the township, Deacon Pomeroy started in the morning to find his cattle, that had strayed away. He searched the forest through the east part of Hambden, through Thompson and Montville, but found them not. As he was coming home, darkness overtook him near where the Montville road crosses Bates creek, and, at the same time, a pack of hungry wolves, ^hich had probably been following his track for some time, waiting for the darkness, came upon him, with murderous intent.
