Smith 67 Ernest Vest 70 Debra Ann Waiz, 42 Jerry Walsh, 69 Laran D. Wilson, 23 (Story, Page A1) CORRECTED OBITUARY Carol Locke, 62 Stone may shed light on legend Continued from Page 1 Lee Pennington, a historian at Jefferson Community College, said markings on the stone are thought to be from an ancient Welsh language. "Toward strength (to promote unity) divide the land we are spread over purely (justly) between offspring in wisdom," reads the translation for the interpretive center display. The slab of stone is thought to have come from some sort of inscribed tablet, perhaps a list of laws or rules. David Himmelheber, a native of Kentucky who now hails from New York, was visiting the museum yesterday.

Though he grew up in Kentucky, he said he had never heard of the Brandenburg Stone. He was, however, familiar with the stories about pre-Columbian European settlers in the Ohio River Valley. "As kids, we heard some stories," he said. "We heard something about white Indians or European settlers." Stories about Prince Madoc have floated around for years, but they have never been proven. Bob Gallman, president of the Clark's Grant Historical Society, said the stories are considered to be legend.

"There's no ironclad evidence to prove they were here," he said. Jim Michael, president of the Ancient Kentucke Historical Society, said he hopes the faint knowledge about the legends and the stone will grow stronger once the public learns the story behind it. Most of that story tells how the stone went unnoticed and for many years. When it was at the library, "people and kids would stand on it and look out the window for years," Gallman said. The stone was acquired from the library on permanent loan about two years ago, and now sits in a velvet casing under plexiglass near the Myths and Legends display at the Interpretive Center.

"It's in the Myths and Legends section because of the controversy of the story," Gallman said. And the stone can never be considered an archaeological find simply because it was not unearthed during a formal dig. "Officially, it's a stone with some strange markings on it," he said. But, using the latest technology, historians may be able to determine what was used to make the carvings and about how old they might be. Michael said the Brandenburg Stone is one of about 20 similar Mildred Mae Holl Adolph, 86, of Fairborn, Ohio, formerly of Louisville, died Saturday in Dayton, Ohio.
