quiet and settled that
the Captain was able to visit the East, where he gave orders for the
marble monument, which it was promised should be sent down the river
the next spring. Upon the return of Captain Prescott, the wedding of
his daughter and Lieutenant Canfield took place, and they settled down
in the village. The Captain did not venture again to erect his house
in so exposed a situation, until the advancing tide of civilization
made it a matter of safety. A handsome edifice then rose from the
ruins of his first residence. General peace dawning upon the border,
he removed his family to it, and turned farmer. His possessions
continually increased in value until a few years after the commencement
of the present century, and when he died, there were few wealthier men
in the West.

During the war of 1812, Lieutenant Canfield was promoted to a
Captaincy, and served under General Harrison until all hostilities had
ceased. He then retired with his family to private life, taking his
abode upon the farm which had been left him by his father-in-law, where
he resided until 1843, when he followed the partner of his joys and
sorrows--the once captive of the Shawnees--to his last, long home.

As the traveler passes down the Ohio river on one of its many steamers,
his attention perhaps is attracted to a beautiful grove of oaks,
willows and sycamores a short distance from the shore, beneath whose
arches a tall, white marble obelisk may be discerned with some
inscription and design upon it. Approaching it more closely, there is
seen engraved on the front, the figure of the Holy Bible, open, with a
hand beneath pointing upward. Below this, are cut the simple words:

OONOMOO,

THE FRIEND OF THE WHITE MAN.
