COLONIAL FORT YIELDS SECRETS DARIEN, Ga. oyster shell floor of an Indian laid jtnore. than 200 years ago, has helped archaeologists and historians reconstruct a little known chapter 61 American colonial history. around for the site of old Fort King George, known to have: been somewhere near the mouth of the Altamaha river, archaeologists uncovered 14 well- preserved skeletons, buried in a precise military row. Striking out from there, they found traces of other graves, and dim outines of a fortification set up in 1721 as a buffer between Spanish Florida and British Charleston.

The skeletons they were able to identify were found under a thick layer of coquina mixture of crushed oyster served through the centuries as an excellent protection against water. Other skeletons found in the area wera fragmentary. The story of the fort is a drab tale of Spanish and Indian raids, and of fever contracted in the rriarshy coastal lowlands. Records show that at least 140 of the small garrison died in five years. From the position of the bodies found and the shallowness of the graves, archaeologists have surmised that the dead were buried hastily, probably at night, to prevent the enemy from learning of the weakness of the garrison.

The fort was set up at the insistence of Charleston burghers' as Insurance against attack by the Spaniards at St. Augustine. Records show that at first the garrison complained of the quality of provisions sent them by those they were protecting, and as time grew and fear of invasion lessened, the quantity. Fort King George was abandoned in 1727, when the garrison was recalled to South Carolina, but a sWall detachment was kept in the neighborhood until 1736, when a band of Scotch Highlanders settled al'Darien, up the river from the old fort. The site of the fort has been purchased by Georgia for a state park.

A museum is being erected to house Indian, English and Spanish-relics unearthed in the neighborhood. MILAN PORT CLINTON Mr. and Mrs. James King spent the weekend in Pennsylvania, attending a family reunion and visiting relatives. Mrs.

A first folio of Audubon's "Birds 0f America" was sold S.11.7C0 at nn American book auction ill 1939. MITCHELL, Brown's Body, which lies moldering- in the grave, may be more famous, but it is a conventional corpse compared to John Burton's body, which stands moldering in the grave. John Pleasant Burton, a soldier in the Revolutionary War. was buried here In a standing position, at his own request. And that position has not been changed In 105 years.

The reason for the strange request: Burton, who was a high-ranking Mason in North Carolina, and George Zlncher. the first Master of the Masonic order in his community, made an agreement that cher would be buried horizontally at Burton's feet- This was apparently In respect for their relative Masonic positions. Burton's descend, ants believe. When Burton died he was buried standing, with the funeral ceremony performed by Zlncher. Later Zlncher was buried at Burton's feet, according to their agreement- To accomplish the vertical burial, holes were bored in the back of the coffin and Burton was roped upright.

The coffin 'was lowered, foot-end first, Into the perpendicular grave. Burton was born in Virginia. July 8, 175S, and died in Lawrence BLOOMINGVILLE Mrs. Anna Hoffman, Mrs. Roland Hoffman, Jean Hoffman and Mrs.
