wickersham Says Urbana Shaft Not
Over Simon kenton's Remains.
Dayton, o., April l8-According to
Thomas Wickersham. the monument
On Oakdale cemetery inscribed with
ahe name Of Simon KeDton, Indian
nghter and pioneer Of hundred
years ago, does not rest over the
body OF Kenton, but over that of
James owen. another pioneer of that
Ueriod. The secret Wickersham now
gives to the public Is explained by
an intense rivalry between Logan
county citizens and the people of
Urbana who fought for the honor of
gearing a shaft to the memory of one
OF Ohio's most famous pioneers
Wickersham says he knows Just
where Kenton was buried, and that
the body of the old pioneer Indian
hghter does not rest under the shaft
reared in oakdale cemetery In 1866.
