simply a prehistoric Iroquois fort with the usual relics, but it includes 

 some Ohio shells. It may be an ^easterly town of the Neuter nation. 



3 A large cemetery was once one-half of a mile west of this. Mr 

 Squier says " it is not known that many ancient remains occur in 

 this county," and these are all reported. Schoolcraft, however, 

 speaks of an old fort in a swamp at Barnegat, now Shelby Center, 

 which is noted above. 



4 Mounds on the north bank of Oak Orchard creek reported by 

 Dr F. D. Snyder as 2 miles from the lake. 



5 '' The last arrow maker lived on the place now owned by Mrs 

 C. A. Johnson in the village of Lyndonville about 6o rods east of 

 the highway, and he used an old hollow stump for his storehouse. 

 He left the country suddenly about 1830 and the arrowheads w^erc 

 afterward found by my uncle, but they have been scattered. I have 

 a small collection of relics but not of a great consequence." (Walter 

 A. Tuttle.) 



6 Mr Tuttle also adds: '*As to my personal investigation, it has 

 principally been in the town of Yates where there are only odd 

 places where relics are found. On the farm now owned by George 

 Cooper in the village of Lyndonville and on the farm now owned by 

 John Foss, about 2 miles east of Yates Center, there were salt licks, 

 where the Indians used to hunt a great deal. On the banks of the 

 Johnson creek opposite these, there were a great many arrowheads, 

 some pipes, and charms."
