Deb, This all makes sense to me. In Webster County just east of Springfield there is a "Panther Hollow". Panther Cemetery is also located there. It is located between Northview (near I-44 and Marshfield) and Rogersville (on Hwy 60). Northview would have been on the "Old Wire Road". Our daughter and son in law lives there in Panther Hollow near Panther Creek. This is land that his great grand parents owned. They will see a panther ever so often at night. They have had one that will come up on their deck. It is a little scary for me but the people in that area just takes it as every day life.
