The following is from the October 13, 1935 issue of Grit, a newspaper once published in Williamsport, PA and directed at the rural community. My niece and her husband found this issue when they replaced the roof on their house.
Polecat in Furnace Disrupts Church Service
Church services were suspended for the day last Sunday at the Rouzerville Episcopal Church.
When the janitor went to start the fire the night before he made an unpleasant discovery. Disputing the right of way was nothing more or less than a polecat, and it became necessary in the course of events to shoot the visitor. Services the following day were thereby rendered inadvisable.
It was explained by one consistent member of the church, without undue levity, that the “devil had got into the furnace.”
