Young, the local butcher, had become a firm believer in inoculating hogs against cholera: when cholera reached the hogs on the Young Bros. farm in the Wickliffe neighborhood he inoculated them, the sick ones did not recover and the well ones escaped, and as a test he put an inoculated gilt from his home in Berryville in with the infected hogs, and it stayed well.
