We knew a cemetery with stones had been destroyed. But I had only heard rumors about the Native American Burial Ground. Finally as of Friday night 10 minutes after the Library Local History room closed, I walked out with a page from a book of The Histories of The Ohio Falls Counties , 1882 pg 306 that verified what I had believed all along. A house had been built in the middle of the Burial Ground Mounds in Section 1 of Lafayette Township. I know there are places along all of the Creeks around here up in the hills where there could be more. The Creeks running thru Floyd County are even Called Big Indian Creek, and Little Indian Creek. They lived all over this county, Hi country and Low. But since we don't know about places like this, it is very hard to get to them before the Developers do. When Caesar's Gambling Boat went in to the Ohio River at the mouth of a creek, they had to do an Archeological dig for a year removing Indian Artifacts. Now at my age, Cemeteries and Burial Sites are my only purpose left in my life. Try To Protect what we have left of our Burial Sites. This is a small county and it is Developing faster than I can drive from one side to the other almost. Tewstar, if you have any ideas, I would appreciate them, and if nothing else e-mail me a whole lot of Moral Support. Jack E.
