As she was messing with one on the end of the table, the one beside her popped her on the arm. She stayed relatively calm, but you could tell she was internally shook. She said she needed to go out back for a minute. I reckon she got treated real quick, but I always wondered if I'd ever see that happen.


I watched it at Baileyton. I heard on the incident you are talking about (possibly another in Cullman County but doubt it) that they almost let her die at the hospital. Supposedly she told them rattle snake and they would believe it and treated her for another type snake bite. I think it was her daughter or helper that came in and told them it was a rattle snake and they doubted her. She told them she would go to the van and get the one that bit her and thats when they agreed. All rumor and no proof to back that up. They seemed like good ole folks that enjoyed making an honest living. Like SJ22 said above Yarbrough rings a bell on the last name for some reason.
