now lies in, and give it to the
public for burying ground
while it was still in the woods;
that he was the first person to
die in that country and the first
buried in the new cemetery.
After his burial his neighbors
cut poles and laid around the
grave to keep the cattle from
tramping it.
l further learned that his cof-
fin was made by a man named
Caldwell, living on farm where
the town of Caldwell is now
built, and that two young men
lashed the coffin on a pole on
their shoulders and carried it
to Wiley's home where Sharon
now is, and this was all through
the woods, only path to travel.
An old gentleman living in that
community some years ago has
told that when he was a boy
he saw those two young men
carrying that coffin, and they
stopped at spring and got a
drink of water, then shouldered
the coffin and went on.
A little flag was sticking in
the grave, and ] asked concern
ing it and was told he was a
soldier presumably of the War
of 1872, but that could hardly
be, as he would be a man of 81
years at that time. He may, how
ever, have been soldier of the
Revolution.
The little village now has a
cemetery at the south end of
town, and we think it one of
the most beautiful little ceme-
teries we have ever seen. The
community should be proud of it.

P.S. William Wiley was a
soldier of the Revolutionary war.

Political Matters and Otherwise
BY JESS S. HARRIS

The midwestern states are in
the grasp of another terrific
snow storm, the third within
two weeks, and has extended
itself into the northern part of
Ohio. The south has had more
tornadoes during the forepart of
this week.
The presidents private car now
makes the distance from the
White House to his farm home
in an hour and forty-five min
utes. No more at the speed of
seventy miles per hour. For the
safety of Ike, the public is GER
tainly glad of this.
Remember that the legal time
in Ohio is Eastern Standard
Time, as legalized several years
ago by the Ohio general assembly
and will remain as such time
until it may be repealed by some
future legislature, if ever.
A number of illustrious Amer
leans during the past many years
have reached the pinnacle of
fame and then did something
that caused them to drop into
utter obscurity. And more will
doubtless do so as time passes;
