SQME EARLY HISTORY, The mound® builders were probably the first people to leave any traces of their presence in Noble county in York, Sparta and Hlkbart townshihps. Numerous mounds, many of which have been opened and the skeletons of men, Women and chijldren - found and in some are Temaing of animals ‘bones, charcoal, bits of mica, peottery and other small articles found as well as iron. Washington also has some mounds; a 8 many as twenty-eight skeletons have been found in these mounds.

The next inhibitantg were the Indians, the Miamias and the Pottawatamies. They were followed here by the French and later by the early settlers. In Sparta township was found a stone on which was scratched the following, “I was taken prisoner by the Indians in 177 C. Andrew Elinton.” This man must have been the first white man in No ble county

Later, the power of the Indians was broken and a portion of Sparta and Washington townships was assigned to the Indians. A large brick square house was erected by the government to be used as 2 residence by the chief, Wawaassa or Flat-Belly. It was also used as a council house by Xhe Indians. A windstorm blew the house down and it was not rebuilt. In 1837 FlatBelly wag drowned while drunk. He was succeeded by Musquaw. The story of the lives and deaths of these Indian chiefs is very interesting but too lengthy to be told in this short article. There were at one time 100 bark wigwang at Indian Village. About this time the Pottowatomies left for a visit to Wabash and while they were gone the whites get fire to their village and burnd it to the ground. It stood where the cemetery is now located. The Indians became nomadic ani roamed the county begging and trading furs for food and ammunition. They used to winter at Buttermilk pond. A beautiful carved store pipe was found on the shore of the pond by a hired man of Mr. William TFatta about 35 years ago. Many arrow heads, dressing stones, hammers and other articles have been found on the farm now owned by Oliver Roe_some of which are in the possession of the writer of this article. Most of the information in this article was obtained from the History of LaGrange ang Noblz county. The next article will be on the Lakes of Noble county.
