History of Tombstone Now Held b,
Buffalo Historical Society.

A short time ago Frank H. Sever
ance of the Buffalo Historical society
had a letter from Lyman Cornwall Of
South Wales, offering to obtain for the
Historical society an old tombstone
from an old pioneer cemetery down
that way. AS usual, Mr.. Severance
lost no time in looking into the affair,
for anything that serves as link in
the chain of historic research is sought
by the society.
And now the stone is on exhibition
down in the basement of the Historical
building. It is plain, old-fashioned
tombstone, such as one sees moldering
In any country churchyard. But that
old stone, or, rather, the man over
whose grave it was raised, has his.
tory that is interviewer with the his
tory of pioneer days on the frontier.
A weeping willow droops mournfully
from the upper portion of the weather,
beaten stone, with the solemn urn be-
meath, and lower yet is the inscription.

in those waters.
The octopus, which resembles a
frayed and ruined football of brown
leather, was carried home by the fish
erman in a bucket of water.

he said. Why, I'm going to eat
it. I'd as soon eat octopus as seal

him, and gave him just before he
went. s
''The story of the fight has often
been told; how small detachments of
raw American militiamen were
thrown, one after another, against the
unknown enemy in the darkness at
Scajaquada creek, and were in turn
demoralized, many of the men scatter
ing through the woods in retreat; how
in the absence Of united opposition in
the early morning, the British rein
forcements succeeded in landing at
Black Rock; how the Scajaquada de-
tachment marched up the river, dis
persing what little organized resist
ance it met; and how, together, the
two parties of the British routed the
Americans in the last stand they
made-not over 600 Of them--to op-
pose the British landing.
"Discreditable as the affair Of De-
cember 80, 1913, was, in general, to
the American forces, and particularly
to their leaders, there were some Of
