	Old Bet, elephant. Roadside Pet Cemetery
		She was then known as Betty, and was being exhibited in Beantown when she was spotted by a farmer named Hachaliah Bailey, who apparently was smitten.
		Hachaliah, who saw Old Bet as something more than three tons of ambulatory meat, bought the elephant and brought her back to his home town of Somers.
		Within a few years Hachaliah had become much less a farmer and much more a circus showman, showcasing a ragged menagerie of animals that included a trained dog, several pigs, a horse, and Old Bet, who obviously was the main draw.

	Zoological Association
		Hachaliah Bailey of Somers began his menagerie business around the turn of the 19th century, when he acquired an elephant that he named Old Bet.
		During the first three decades of the 19th century, many men in Somers, North Salem and southern Putnam County followed Bailey’s lead, acquiring exotic animals that they exhibited to the public via traveling menagerie shows.
		While the economic panic of 1837 just two years later all but wiped out the Institute, the organization formalized the menagerie business, which eventually became the modern circus, and thus the Articles of Association document is arguably the “birth certificate” of the American circus.
