From History of Trumbull County, Ohio
"Mr. N. B. Ferry relates that often, when a boy, while hunting for the cows his dog would start a wild hog whose squealing would arouse others and attract them to the spot; and soon they would collect in such force as to drive him to a tree for safety, while the dog used every effort to keep from being rended in pieces by his savage pursuers.
One evening when Mr. N. B. Ferry was a boy he was out hunting for the cows, and not returning as soon as usual, his father started out to find him. Being unsuccessful in his search, he was returning to the house, and when within a short distance of It he was startled by the howling of wolves. Fearing that he would not be able to reach his home, he climbed a tree and shouted for help, Several men who were boarding at his house each seized a gun and hastened to the spot, The wolves were easily frightened away. It was afterwards learned that they were not at first in pursuit of Mr. Ferry. Jared Green had killed a deer that day and dragged it home ; The wolves were following up the trail, and as Mr. Ferry unconsciously took the same course, they turned their attention to him."
