The Columbia Monumental association
OF Cincinnati has just dedicated the first
monument ever erected over tho graves
of pioneers in the great northwest terri
tory. In 1888 boat load of brave
spirits landed at Columbia, now one oi
the eastern suburbs of Cincinnati, and
began there the settlement of this beauti.
ful valley. They were ;nainly Baptists,
and their remains rest in the grave yard
adjacent to the Mt. Lookout Duck Creek
Baptist church, the oldest burying ground
in Cincinnati, and place of great
natural, even romantic, beauty.
This was chosen for the site of the
monument, and the shaft has been erect.
ed. II rests upon "a base of granite, with
pedestal of Ohio free stone, the shaft
ALSO being of Ohio free stone. The height
from the ground to the crown of the car
is forty-three feet, the shaft alone being
thirty seven feet.
On one side of the frecstone pedestal
is engraved: "To the pioneers landing

class A would probably include such as

Glass B To include associations whose draw.
Ing powers would be about 25 per cent less
than class A.
"Class c 10 include associations whose draw.
Ing powers would be about so per cent. less

Glass ID to be the lowest. including clubs
that cannot afford to pay over $50 or 500 per
