and Kate B. Ford, in 1881.

"Soon after the army left my father moved his family out to the country, at what is now known as Ludlow Grove, where my, brother John so long resided.

The ford here became known as Ludlow's Ford, or the 'Second Crossing of Mill. as Wayne's army crossed here on the route to the 'Third at White's Station, in Northern Carthage. I was 10 years old when we came to Ludlow's place, and soon learned that we were in an Indian country. "Captain Jacob White, Thomas Gaudy, Sarah Freeman, Abby Cochrane riding horseback, and several wagons came with us from town. These pushed on toward White's Station two miles above.

In less than an hour we heard the cry, 'Indians! And soon came those on horseback, together with some running on foot. "Thomas Gaudy, the lawyer, and the ladies mentioned rode on by to Cincinnati, but Captain White swung his hat, hurrahed for White's Station and left with a fighting party to attack the Indians. They reached the station, however, without seeing anything the savages. In this affair two of our men were killed at the first fire, the Indians shooting from behind some burr oaks which stood on the west side of the road, close to a run, not many feet from the brick schoolhouse which stands there now. The two men were buried just south of the stream, near Allen Huffman's present residence, and my father called the stream 'Bloody which name it bears to this "In later years, while making 1m- provements here, two skeletons, supposed to be those of the murdered men, were exhumed by the workmen."
