    A few miles north of Kennard, in Henry County, Indiana, is a remarkable mound that covers an area of five acres. 

Unlike other mounds found in Indiana and other states, it is composed primarily of sand and gravel and covered by a forest of native trees of a century’s growth.

      There is not another deposit of sand or gravel in six or eight miles. The surrounding country is plain. This pile of sand and gravel, as stated in above, covers an area of five acres and is of a cone shape. When first known by white men it had a well-defined ditch around it, and two made roadways, wide enough for a wagon, one from the north and the other from the south.

Farmers and road builders that needed gravel and sand found these glacial screenings to come befoire the order to secure the ivory specimens, but he was invincible. We had no desire to become the possessor of human bones. In the building of public highways and for a small price per cubic yard paid to the owner of land found it more convenient than going to Springport or Mount Summit, a distance of eight miles.

     After opening this deposit to a depth of 12 feet from the top of the mound they unearthed a human skeleton whose framework measured nearly eight feet in height. His skull would fit over the head of a large man; his jaws being massive and teeth in a perfect state of preservation. On the breast of this big chief was a saucer-shaped vessel of ivory, about six inches in diameter, containing 84 ivory beads, that must have been made from the tusk of a mastodon.

We tried the persuasion of money on the old farmer
