==Indian Village==
On section No. 21 were seen remains of a small Indian village of which seven huts appeared as late as 1819. In the fall of that year, one one sunny afternoon, in the golden season of "Indian Summer" after the many colored forest had shed its "verdent honors" a company of about a dozen of the red-faced trive returned from the west once more to look upon their abandoned hamlet. After viewing it and its changed surroundings and the many changes which had, since their departure fallen from the hands of the pale-faced race upon things in general, some of them were moved to tears. And, oh! Who could read their feelings! They looked at the fast sinking sun - at once arose - set on fire their last seven huts in Green towsnship then again wended themselves Westward.
