The Semi-Weekly Messenger (Wilmington NC) 9 July 1897
Hendersonville Times: On Thursday morning while Milner Revis, who lives about
eight miles east of Hendersonville, near the Polk county line, was cradling rye,
his son Burton, aged 15 was following him, binding. The father cut over where a
large rattlesnake was lying, and when the son came to bind the grain the snake
sank his fangs into him. Whiskey was given the boy but only a pint was at hand,
and a messenger sent for Dr Egerton, who arrived about 3 o'clock. When the
doctor got there the boy was unconscious and died about 5 o'clock.
