FORT HILL INDIAN CEMETERY

FORT HILL INDIAN CEMETERY.

BY FELIX J. KOCH.

Antiquarians and others interested in the lost races of this

continent have been delighted, recently, at the news of the dis-

covery of still another Indian burial ground on Ft. Hill, at the

mouth of the Big Miami River, in the very southwest corner of

Ohio.

Workmen, building a road through the territory, found ar-

row-heads and other Indian implements such as to indicate the

proximity of a pre-historic cemetery, and, proceeding with care,

the great burial-ground was unearthed. The site is not only near

several other Indian burial grounds and mounds, but is one al-

ready made historic for these earth-works as well.
