HONOR PIONEERS MEMORY.
Ohio Citizens Seek To Perpetual,
Name of Simon kenton.

Bellefontaine, o., July 1S.-Leading
citizens of Logan county are about to
make another effort to have the state
set aside a piece of land in the eastern
part of this county for a state park in
honor of the momary OF Simon Kenton,
famous pioneer. Though Kenton's
name is linked largely with the early
history Of Kentucky, it was in this vi
cinity that he spent his last days and
was buried.
Among the daring pioneers who
blazed the way for the settlement of
the great West in the early days OF
American history no one was more pic
turesque than Simon Kenton. With
Boone and Crockett he contributed
more to the marvellous growth OF this
section OF the country and received
slighter personal benefits than any OF
those who came later. His life was fill
ed with adventures. AS youth he
was employed as a spy against the In
dians by Lord Dunmore, then British
governor for the province of Virginia.
Later he joined the expedition of Gen.
George Il. Clark and participated in
the surprise and victory at Kaskaskia
He led "a party to resist the progress
of the British and Indian campaign in
Kentucky. He took part in Mad An
thony" Wayne's campaign, was made
a brigadier-g general Of Ohio militia in
1906 and wound up his active military
career by participating in the battle
of the Thames i'm 1913.
In his declining years Simon Kenton
became an object of charity. The lands
he thought he had acquired by right of
discovery had been appropriated by
others and when almost eighty years
OF age the celebrated pioneer. I'm tat
tered garb appeared before the legis
lature of Kentucky to make a last ap-
peal for justice. He was conspicu-
Gus figure i'm his raiment of skins and
rags and the younger generation
thought to make merry at his ex-
pense. But he was recognized by old
Gen Fletcher. who led him forward
and placed him i'm the speakers chair.
The eulogistic introduction given the
old hero resulted in a restoration of a
part of his lands and the granting to
him of pension for life.
