WARREN COUNTY SERPENT MOUND.
Mr. Cole read the following report,
furnished by Dr. Charles
H. Hough:
The mound property is in statu quo
except that the wood lot has
been somewhat marred by a gravel pit,
opened along the creek. The field
is now in grain-stubble. All land in
that locality is held at very high
prices. I think it unwise to negotiate
with anyone, until we are able to
purchase. It is recommended that the
committee be continued.
CHARLES H. HOUGH.
Lebanon, Sept. 17, 1917.
The report was received and the
committee continued.
NECROLOGY.
Mr. W. C. Mills made an oral report on
necrology, stating
that during the year the following life
members of the Society
passed away:
Hon. J. B. Foraker, Cincinnati; Hon.
Henry C. Taylor, Co-
lumbus; F. M. Hughes, Lakesville;
William King Neil, Columbus.
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS.
The committee on nominations recommended
the re-election
of Messrs. G. Frederick Wright, W. O.
Thompson and Webb C.
Hayes, as Trustees for the coming three
years. They were duly
elected.
Col. Curry stated that, if the Society
would establish a
"Civil War Alcove," he could
collect a great deal of material
that will not cost anything: he has been
interested along that
line and has collected histories of
regiments, etc., and if the
Society will establish that alcove he
(Col. Curry) will take the
matter up with the soldiers throughout
the state with a view
to securing the material.
Mr. Cole moved that such a war history
collection be estab-
lished in the library, and furnished by
Col. Curry.
