Iush-Type Doors
Can Be Dressed Up

Practically every new house
has hollo w-core, flush-type
doors. Many times they have
been remodeled to add more
character.
The plain, blank door, is
usually found in the modern
house. But a homeowner can lay
out two panels by simply attach
ing picture molding with glue
and light brads. and achieve q
far better looking door.
Any number of different de-
signs can be made with molding.
There can be three panel effects,
cross effects and one large
panel.
The owner also can use quar-
ter-inch plywooo and cut it to
make a circular center panel
with appropriate upper and
lower raised panels. To get the
best effect with this particular
type OF door design, the correct
procedure is to use chalk, and
lay out the design to make sure
that the proportions are appro-
pirate and pleasing. AS a matter
OF course, square raised panels
can also be cut and attached as
suggested above.
This alteration can be done
without removing the door or the
hardware. and in the average
case will definitely raise the de-
corative aspect of the house in
terror. However. the owner is
cautioned against the use of diff
ferent colors in either the mold
ing or the raisesd panel job.

through the black and white oak for
est to Tullihas, a Observation-Disclosures
Caughnewaga town on the Musking-
UNI about 20 miles above present
Coshocton. After three weeks there
the tribe went by waterways to the
Canesadeeharie, now Black River,
and down that stream to present
Eiyria, Lorain County.
There the Indians buried their
canoe and built a winter cabin, said
to have been on later Evergreen
Point. 1t was December before the
cabin was finished and the Indians
had nothing to eat. The tribe was
hungry.
While the hunters were OUT after
game the squaws and boys scattered
in the bottom searching for red haws
and hickorynuts from under the light
snow. There were few haws but
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1956-09-20

plenty of hickorynuts were scratched
out from under the snow. Next day
the hunters returned with only two
small turkeys. These were divided
among the whole tribe of twenty-one
share and share alike.
Next day the hunters went out
again and this time came back with
one deer and three bears One of the
bears was exceptionally large and
fat. On that meat the whole tribe
gorged themselves.
That winter four of the warriors
went to Pennsylvania to steal horses
and take scalps The other four men
remained at the camp to provide
meat for the women and children.
In spring the warriors came back
with two scalps and four horses.
While warriors were away the tribe
nearly starved and the food was
depleted to nearly nothing. Then
Tentileauge, one of the hunters left
the camp, with a streak of good luck
andbrought in enough game to last
for 10 days. Then he and the captive
Smith went II miles into the woods
after more game. They camped there
and hunted much but little was found.
1t was where the winter cabin stood
that Elyria was founded in 1917 by
Heman Ely, from West Springfield,
Massachusetts.
In putting up the winter cabin
where Elyria now stands the Indians
were not hampered by the depression
and took no heed of their own poverty.
The material all was at hand and for
its taking.
Logs were cut about Is feet long
and were laid one on the other. Posts
then were driven into the ground at
each end to keep the logs together.
The posts were tied together at the
top with strips of bark. Thus wall
was made about Is feet long and four
feet or so high. Another such wall
was raised in the same way opposite
the first one about IL feet away and
forks were driven in the ground. At
the center of each end strong pole
extending from end to end was laid in
the forks. From these walls to the
poles other poles were set up to
serve as rafters and on them small
poles were tied for laths. A cover was
made of linn bark, which runs even
in winter season, and fixed to the
lath poles. The bark had been peeled
off the trees with tomahawks.
The linn bark peels evenly and the
Indians cut it and peeled it off in
strips about six inches wide and
sometimes 30 feet long. With this bark
the whole outside of the cabin was
covered.
The captive James Smiths Indian
name was Scoouwa. The Indian
depression did not last long and
Scoouwa, one of the tribe and no Ion
ger a captive, returned to his Pennsyl-
vania home. In 1853 he was made
colonel of a command of rifleman
trained in the Indian fashion to fight
them. He later moved to Kentucky
where he was much respected and
several times was elected to the
legislature. He published his MEM
oirs, from which the foregoing
account has been taken, in 1900 and
died in Kentucky in 1872 at seventy
five.

and the hard times that hit the
Indians after the defeat of ,Braddock

an axiom that after every war comes
peace-and depression.

SO poor that the Indians had no horses
and travelled foot and in single
canoe which had been stolen some
where. The tribe too was small

papooses and a captive-J m S

1755, by two Delawares and a
Canasatauga near Bedford, in western
Pennsylvania and had been adopted
into the tribe.
