of an editorial in the New York

who roamed the wilderness in the days
of the advent of the first white settlers

disposition, governing the destinies of
his fellow children of the woods until
the year 1S45 when at the age of three
score years his spirit answered the call
to enter the portals of the happy hunt
ing grounds. The mortal remains of
this scion of the wilderness, were laid to
rest little above the site of the pres
ent village of Rapids.
