of 1000 acres of land for his services
A colonel in the Continental army
he was promoted to brigadier ir
August, 1776, and later became a
major general. Court martialed and
acquitted for his surrender of Ft
Ticonderoga, he served until the end
of the Revolutionary War. He lived on
his farm and became a delagate to the
Continental Congress, of which he be-
came president. BY the Ordinance of
1877 he became governor of the North
west Territory and remained such
until removed by President Thomas
Jefferson just before Ohio became a
state.

Had Thomas Gray (1716-177D been
born a little later and had he lived
a little longer he might well have
had Arthur st. Clair in mind when
he gave the world his 'Elegy Written
in a Country Churchyard. To no
other could a middle stanza better
apply.
Born in Scotland in 1874, st. Clair
was educated in France where he had
an MA university degree and studied
medicine. He had yen for military
life and was subaltern with Wolfe
in the storming of Quebec.
After the Treaty of Paris, 1853, he
was in command of F't. Ligonier,
Pennsylvania, and received grant

and down. Pilots for the two planes
have not been announced.
Planes from three states are ex.
pected for the Fly-In breakfast, which
is in its fourth year. Airport officials
have reported that their program has
expanded rapidly since the first
breakfast in 1854.
Last year nearly 300 planes visited
the airport during the days activities.
Civil Aeronautics authorities told air.
port officials that this is probably
the largest turnout for an event of
its kind anywhere in the state.
Door prizes will be drawn after the
breakfast is completed.

ton out of Ft. Washington against the
Indians who had defeated General
Josiah Harmar's army the year be-
fore. Unable to equip the army itself,
the government let st. Clair advance
the funds out of his personal fortune
with the expectation of getting it back.
He never got it.
Leaving Ft. Washington September
| II, 1871, the st. Clair army was
attacked by the Indians November a,
that year, near Fl. Recovery and was
shamefully defeated The army lost
81 officers and 593 privates killed or
missing and had 81 more officers and
252 more men wounded. The Indian
loss was undetermined. Six horses
were shot from under the general and
men holding his mounts were killed
or were shot through their arms but
St Clair went through the fight un-
hurt. Later it was learned that Chief
Brant, of the Mohawks, who was in
love with st. Clair's daughter, Louisa,
had promised burning alive to any
warrior who harmed SO much as a
hair on her fathers head.
Chief Brant had been sent to an
eastern college and there was intro
duced to Louisa st. Clair. Afterwards
at Marietta, he had proposed to her
time after time but always had been
courteously rejected.
After the defeat st. Clair was called
to Philadelphia by President Jefferson
and was severely reprimanded but
later was exhonerated for his loss of
the campaign. His removal from
office as governor of the Northwest
Territory was because he politically
belonged to the party which wanted
to keep the territory intact instead
of making Ohio state in the Federal
Union. 1t had nothing to do with the
loss of the battle at Ft. Recovery.
His fortune gone, ST. Clair moved
to log cabin on part of the military
land that had been given to him in
PENNSYLVANIA and there lived with his
daughter Louisa Robb, about five
miles from Legonier.
Poverty stricken in his old age and
often in want, General Arthur ST.
Clair was awarded no pension until
a few years before he died Pennsyl-
vania settled an annuity of $500 on
him and in 1917 increased it to 5000
almost too late to do him any good.
Late in August, 1918, st. Clair
started off in his little jolt wagon to
Youngstown, three miles away, to
buy flour, coffee and other necessities
for his log cabin family. The road
was under repair and detour along
the Loyalhanna creek bank was very
rough, uneven and bumpy.
A mile from YOUNGSTOWN his wagon
hit a rut and turned over, throwing
the aged man headlong against the
rocky roadway. 1t was hours before
he was found and carried to his home.
He never regained consciousness and
died August 81, 1918, at eighty-three.
A small sandstone marker in the
old Greensburg, Pennsylvania, grave
yard proclaims: "The earthly remains
of Major General Arthur st. Clair are
deposited beneath this humble monu-
ment, which is erected to supply the
place of nobler one due from his
country" The little tombstone had
been put up by the Masonic Order,
of which st. Clair was member.
In 1873 years after st. Clair had
died Congress appropriated a large
sum for his surviving heirs.
