this loyal public would ever especially enjoy the St. Clair park of

seventy-seven acres embracing the site of Fort St. Clair, the

battle field, burial place, and the scenic lands surrounding.

The old flag of thirteen stars and many scars, which now

drapes the form of our darling dead, she greatly prized on ac-

count of the hallowed remembrances thereof to herself person-

ally relating. This old flag was her talisman; it tenderly thrilled

her patriotic and friendly heart.

Be it resolved, That this resolution be spread upon the min-

utes of this Society and that copies thereof be delivered to her

daughter, Mrs. Nellie Reynolds Eastman, and her son, L. C.

Reynolds, of Baltimore, Maryland.

 

In her will Mrs. Reynolds left to the Ohio State

Archaeological and Historical Society her collection of

early Ohio newspapers and her decorated chinaware

illustrative of local history, chiefly of scenes and inci-

dents relating to Fort St. Clair.

 

PATRIOTIC MEETING AT THE LOGAN ELM

On the afternoon of June 13 a very interesting meet-

ing of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolu-

tion was held under the spreading branches of the Logan

Elm. The principal address was delivered by Honorable

Simeon D. Fess, junior United States Senator from

Ohio. In his opening remarks he commended very

highly the work of patriotic societies and the Ohio

State Archaeological and Historical Society in marking

places of historic interest in Ohio. He spoke of the

educational value of contact with the past through the

association of place and material things relating to men

and incidents of other years. We have a livelier inter-

est in an achievement of the long ago when we stand

upon the very spot that it has immortalized. He com-

mended also in strong terms the effort of the Society

to collect the trophies and relics of Ohio history.
