By GEORGE I. CRUM

/ read with much interest an
article in your paper dated March
13 by Ben Hayes in which he relates
some interesting facts and legends
concerning happenings, ETC., on East
Fork Of Duck Creek Valley
AS I was born and reared on the
old Squire Crum farm adjoining
the Wilkinson farm, this article re-
calls to mind recollections and hap
penings of two thirds of century
ago which with your permission and
for further information for Mr..
Hayes, would be pleased to relate
/ recall Clifton "Cliffy" Miller, who
according to the writer, gave him
information. What he says about
'Cliffy" is true. But what he did
not say about Mr.. Miller, evidently
Cliff was too modest to tell him,
was the fact that he is the only
living man in Ohio, or possibly in
the entire United States, who with
the help of Squire Satan" Miller
and John Morrison, persuaded your
Uncle Sam to name a post office
after him, Cliffyville, which John

shop, composed the town of Cliffy-

The legend of facts concerning the

was small boy at that time but
| recall the incident very vividly.
Thad Cleveland and his son, Henry,
had acquired the old William Billy
/ Wilkinson homestead adjoining the
farm on which was the old mill
and two farm houses, the older of
which was where Billy, who was
Enoch (Eve) Wilkinson's father,
lived until the other house was built.
! Just across the road from the old
mill the heirs and neighbors all
suspected he had a large sum of
money But as no records of any
bank were found, it was generally
believed that the money was buried
some where on the premises.
! But after the Clevelands acquired
the property they had men engaged
in razing the old house up the Run
which had long since been vacant
Most of the timbers, etc, had been
removed, but large step stone in
front, had to be removed to complete
! the leveling off so the land could
be cultivated. This stone was five
to six feet square and six to eight
inches thick. The men were unable
to lift it by hand, so they called
Henry Cleveland to give them a lift.
When tho cfnnn yNn1rnI
Henry noticed something peculiar
and asked the men to hold it. When
he stopped and picked up what the
men described as cast box, about
12X6x4 in size and started for the
old mill where the men who fol-
lowed him claimed they heard him
smash the box to remove the con-
tents. Then he threw the box below
the dam in the creek, which never
as far as l know was recovered.
But soon after his sorrell horses
were hitched to his buggy and he
was on his way to Caldwell.
And as everyone knows, that same
fall he was nominated and elected
sheriff of Noble county.
The heirs naturally started an in
yestigation. But the matter was
soon hushed up when Enoch Eve"
Wilkinson, became the owner of the
property. The matter was never ex-
planned, but the old settlers had and
still have their ideas about this.
Your narrator, Mr.. Hayes, also
mentions Thad Van Fossen's name.

He had commonplace and every
day sense of humor and practical
jokes.
recall one incident from many
that could be mentioned about him.
One morning about squirrel hunt
ing and corn hoeing time, he showed
up at Leander Link" Cronin's, who
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1947-03-20

was another humoriSt, in the COM
Imunity. He was preparing to start
cultivating a large field of corn, and
Thad asked for and was given a hoe.
1t took them nearly all week to go
over the field. Near the time the
field was finished, Link advised
him how much he appreciated his
help but was sorry he could not pay
him the customary wages he was
entitled to- When Thad replied,
Just keep your shirt on who asked
| for wages? You see, | aready have
arranged everything" Thad contin-
ued, And here is the arrangement.
You see, have got behind in my
fishing and squirrel hunting, so am
only helping for help back. So you
are to help me next week to catch
up on my work" and he did. A prac-
tical joke, indeed.
The powder horn mentioned in
this article also interests me. The
inscription, IN Crow" could only be
the one carried and used by Michael
or Martin Crow, whose mother was
a cousin to my father. They and
Martin and Lewis Whetzel were
great hunters and sworn enemies of
the Redskins.
The Whetzel boys had a score to
settle with the Indians for the burn
ing of their home and brutal scalp
ing of their parents when they re-
turned from a hunting trip and dis
covered what had happened, they
vowed, they would shoot to kill any
Redskin who happened to come in
sight as long as they could see the
sights on their guns.
The Crow boys also made the
same vow for the scalping and
brutal murder of their three sisters.
Detailed accounts of the above in
cidents can be verified by reading
Zane Grey's, western Border. l
have heard my father relate the in
cident about the Crow girls many
times. How the girls were tricked by
the Indians. The girls had been sent
to round up the cows. But the In
dianS had removed the bells and
driven off the cows. But the girls
hearing the sound of bell, naturally
thought they would soon overtake
the cows, not realizing the Indians
were impelling the bells to get them
deeper and deeper into the forests.
So when the girls had been en-
tised to where the Indians thought
was safe distance away, they at
tackled the girls and scalped and
murdered two of them. The older
one put up a good fight But seeing
she was greatly outnumbered, when
she was struck from behind by
tomahawk, and knocked down, she
| feigned being dead, so they also
lscalped her. But long after they had
gone, she managed to crawl to
stream of water, where she was soon
revived and made her way back
home.
So I say this powder horn could
have belonged to Martin or Mike
Crowaas the above incident occurred.
