The reunion was unusualy well-attended, and a bounteous feast was A feature of the occasion was the reading' of the history the two families, compiled written with much care by: Mr. George Washington Milburn, now in his 77th Because Mr. Milburn's review is really a good history of -the pioneer days of Columbia township, it published herein in full. The text follows; i MILBURN WINEINGER A Biographical Sketch And Historical Review -i- By vi! George Washington Milburn I was born in old Columbia if.

I am a native i I was born November 11, 1855, and was reared in Columbia Towhship, a son of- Major David, (Milburn and his good wife, Julia Ann Wineinger Milburn. V. I own 116.83 acres of land at the little town of Cuzco in Sections 34 and 35, I 3 a half mile north cf Buckingham's, base line. Cuzco; was named after a city in South America.

The historical Buffalo Trail passes entirely through my farm from east to west. On the section line between sections 34 and 35 the trail is 53 chains and, 83 links north of Buckingham's base line as surveyed in 1804. I In addition to this the early camping ground of -General William Henry Harrison and many of his scouts and rangers is on my farm. What is now locally known as the "Milburn Spring" was the watering place for all travelers going east or over the old Buffalo Trail, whether buffalo, pioneer, soldier, priest- or civilian. Even at Vthis late day, with little forest left; the Milburn Spring flows ten gallons minute It is.

I I The historcal Buffalo Trail runs west from my spring, strikes and becomes part of State Road 56, on the farm of Enoch and John WCqx, in sections 29 and 30, In Columbia Township. Since it is, well known that General William Henry Harrison-Gen. John Tipton, Gen.

Zeb Montgomery Pike, Rufus Putnam, Col. Aaron CoL Francis Vigo, Gen. W. Johns ton, Editor Elihu Capt. Tous-saint Dubois, and many other distihg-i uishedmen traveled over ithis old trail.

It is hardly a of the Imagination, or a light of fancy to say these men refreshed themselves at Milburn's Springrin Columbia Town-, ship. i Part of my farm was entered by Thomas Pinchens, October 18, 1816, It as the first land entered or. bought from the, government in Columbia Township and, no doubt, the spring was a local attraction and deciding factor, because It is a soft water spring. Pinchens graves (and it is thought those of someof Gen. Harrison's men) are near the Cuzco High School ground on the hill just west of my residence.
