Amanuensis Monday - Indian Papoose Grave Found on Bluff Creek
The Wellington Monitor
11 July 1890
The grave of an Indian papoose was discovered on an island in Bluff Creek near Caldwell by Sam Woodson and Dr. Noble last week.
It was protected by a basket-shaped cover, neatly woven of twigs and roots, and so carefully hidden away among the underbrush as to have escaped observation heretofore.
Old settlers think it was made as far back as 1876 during the Indian troubles at that time.
