Yesterday afternoon we trod on hallowed ground—a spot made sacred by the dead of decades past—Greencastle’s old cemetery. And as we paused to scan each tomb-tone, we could not help but feel that there had been adventure, romance and tragedy in the lives of many who have been sleeping for years in this quiet and almost forgotten place.

We discovered the grave of a Revolutionaiy soldier. The marker read: “John Wall, 4th Virginia Rifles, a Rev. Soldier.” What an exciting life thi- man niu-t have led—this Colonial patriot who lived in the da. s of George Washington, Ben Franklin and others who were re-ponsible fur “these L’nited States.”

Greeneastle could have a tomb for an Unknown Soldier. In fact we found graves of four or five Civil War veterans with the word “Unknown” on their stones. One marker read; “U. S. Soldier, Died Dec. 6, 1864, Enroute Home.” We could almost picture the anxiety of this man’s loved ones who waited in vain for his return

We were told today that a young drummer hoy of the Civil War lies buried in the old cemetery. We failed to find his grave—perhaps it is covered with vines and shrubbery. 4* + We came across the grave of William H. Thornburgh. To some perhaps this name has no significance but this man whose mortal remains lay beneath the sod at our feet was for nearly a half century the most prominent merchant in the community He erected the first brick build ing in Greeneastle; was one of the earliest trustees of Asbury university, and owned the first money safe in Putnam county

Local merchants and business men j will be interested in the following j story fiom Saturday’s Brazil Times , inasmuch as Harry Knowlton, prin- j cipal in the story, was located in this , city for several weeks and tried to , interest them in financing manufac-1 ture of a plane which he had on exhibit here: Harry Knowlton. inventor of the Lion monoplane which the Brazil Air I rafts Corporation manufactured and one of the owners of that concern, is prisoner in the Clay county jail charged with automobile banditry and petit larceny. He was arrested by th ■ sheriff of Lawrence county at Bedford late Friday on advices from this city after Detective Guy Bolin had tr icked him down in a two week's

search.

Nothing was known of Knowlton when he first came to Brazil last winter and interested some of the business men in financing the manufacture of hi- plane. Since he disappeared from Brazil over two weeks ago with one of the corporation’s planes, Detective Bolin has learned hat he is known under six or seven different aliases, ha- been airested on 12 different charges, one of them a fe leral charge, and has served four

-entences.

His fiist criminal record has to do with a sentence he received wd'ich -amt him to the Pennsylvania reform school at Huntington, Pa., in 1918. From that time on he appears to have been pretty busy in transgressing the 'aw for he served two sentences in Ohio and on March 11, 1927, was sentence 1 to the Michigan prison at lackson, Mich., for three to ten years for fraud. Just previous to this Knowlton had l> en deported from Canada to the United States on I
