STREAM TO HONOR LAST OF THE WYANDOTS
The Franklin County commissioners yesterday sigened off on
the
name Bill Moose Run for a small North Side stream that flows into
the
Olentangy River near Graceland Shopping Center.
The stream would carry the name of a Wyandot Indian who lived
and
hunted in the area in the early 1900's.
The name also has been endored by the city of Columbus and
the Native American Indian Center of Central Ohio.
Bill Moose was born in 1837 near Upper Sandusky, Ohio.
After the Wyandots left Ohio, his family remained behind and moved
to the banks of the Olentangy River in 1859. Moose wandered along
the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers carrying an old rifle. He became a legend
in his own time.
Late in life he lived in a shack on railroad property near
Morse Road.
That's a stone''s throw from the ravine that the stream flows throught.
He cultivated a garden on the railroad property.
There 's large boulder monument in his honor at Lane Road
and Rt.33 on the banks of the Scioto river.
It says "Bill Moose, last of the Wyandots ......Whose death
in 1937
marks the passing of the Indians from this territory"
Some History today!
