November 1, 1886 -
The Wheeling Daily Register
Last Wednesday evening, Mr. Peter Hill, of Hill's Creek, Pocahontas county, brought to the Greenbrier Independent Office the head of a ground hog, the teeth of which were wonderful. The front teeth-two upper and two lower-were more then two inches in length and had grown into a perfect circle.
