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"
