HISTORY OF ONTARIO COUNTY.
wallader Hawes were licensed " to keep tavern without the sale of spirituous liquors or wines." The Indians had some extensive camping grounds in West Bloomfield. Fort Hill, as it is called, on the east bluff of the Honeoye Creek southwest of the village of West Bloomfield was a favorite resort. Several acres on the farms of A. H. Hopkins and Mrs. R. M. Peck. the soil is filled with coal, ashes, bones, fragments of pottery and large quantities of beads, arrow points, etc., are found after each plowing. Their burial . ground adjoined the camping ground, and many relics, consisting of pottery, axes, beads pipes, etc., have been exhumed. Another camp and burial ground were further north on the farms of H. Warren and Mrs. H. T. Parmele. In the old archives of the Jesuit Fathers this was known as Camp Assumption. Here, also, some very fine relics have been found. R. M. Peck has puite a collection, embracing some twenty-five Indian pipes, several perfect pieces of pottery in the form of bowls, wooden ladles or spoons, a quantity of beads, carved images of bone, arrow and spear heads, necklaces, bracelets, etc. One pipe, a very rare one, has an otter carved on the bowl, and the whole pipe is carved from a whitish stone resembling granite somewhat. A miniature figure of a man and a woman carved in bone, are well done, showing that these Indians possessed no sınall degree of artistic skill. No parts of a gun have been found, so it is evident that this particular camp and burial ground were occupied previous to their possession of fire-arms. Antiquarians are showing renewed interest in the relics that the aborig- ines have left to mark their receding footsteps on our continent, and it affords an inter- esting study of that mighty race that has become so nearly extinct. As a tribute to the renowned valor of the Six Nations who once covered all this region, I have prepared this simple sketch.
