The Homer Index
Wednesday, 18 April 1900


         PERCY SELOUIS was bitten by a moccasin snake
       and died at Greenville. He was a professor of
       art and language in the Greenville school, but
       had a love for reptiles. He had several boxes
       of different kinds of venomous snakes, which he
       kept in his house and every day let them out in
       his rooms and played with them. He handled them
       and on cold nights took them to bed with him
       and placed them next his body to keep them warm.
       It was while he was having the moccasin out in
       the room that he was bitten.
