There has been some inquiry here,
about the 20 ton boulder that our late
Gov L. B. Morris had selected for a
monument of simple record, many years
ago. 1t was requested of the contractor,
who agreed to deliver it in New Haven
for $500, that the moss that had been
growing upon it for the past centuries
should be undisturbed, except upon the
lat side for the inscription, and, when
we first saw the big granite rock ready
for the derrick it was covered with blan-
kets. But after it had fallen into the
ditch and had been lacked up on the
wagon few times the moss was not TO
be found. | learn that it took just three
weeks to get it to Botsford, about three
miles from where it had lain so long On
the old homestead, now occupied by E.
J. Morris, the brother of L. B. Morris.
Mr. Kane says it cost the contractor 500
to get it to New Haven. 1t was moved
