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. One of the upper teeth
was over three inches in length, had grown forward, turned backward and upward, penetrated the roof of the animal's
mouth, and protruded through one of its nostrils. [submitted by Dena
