cember 16, or given somewhere else.
Miss Edith Darlington that was, Mrs
Samuel Ammou, that is, will be rather
surprised at what n New York paper had to
say of Guyasuta. The veracious chronicle
asserts, what is quite true, that the Darling
ton family is one of the Oldest in this part
of the country. But he invades the Ito him)
unknown region of American history, by
adding that the house dates back to colonial
DAYS. The fact is that the present manor
house is not more than 80 years old. In the
colonial days, when witches were burning
at Salem, Guyasuta, so far as the Darling
toms or any other white people are con.
cerned, was an undiscovered region. The
Indian Guyasuta from whom Mrs. Ammon's
girlhood home took it's name, lived about
hundred years prior to the present time.
His grave, or what legend descibeS as such,
is still pointed out, at spot about five
minutes walk from the house.
