From my understanding, the Mound Cemetery at Monroe is originally an Indian Burial Ground that was taken over by the first settlers and then used as an interment for their dead.....also, there is an Indian Signal Mound on Wayne Madison Road, almost to the end, where Thomas Road intersects, near Jacksonburg. When I was a "youngin", we used to find a lot of Indian tools (stone) on Dry Fork Creek and Kiatta Creek, very few arrowheads, but lots of specifically shaped stones, probably used for turning corn into meal, etc. Dad even used some of my finds for doorstops, since all the rooms in the house had doors. Most of us boys had our own collection in our Dad's garage, in the basement, or on the back porch......lots of pieces of flint, but, alas, no pottery, although there were quite a few banks of the "blue" clay on the local creeks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Caroline Huppi" <chuppi@cinci.rr.com> To: <OHBUTLER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2006 10:50 AM Subject: Re: [OHBUTLER-L] Ancient Work > Dennis, > > From What I've read, Butler County had the 2nd largest number of Indian/ > ancient Works of any county in Ohio outside of Ross County.
