MDCCCLXXXXVI1I Joanes De La Howe fundator Ob Januarii II MDCCXCVII Rebecca Woodin was his woman whom he brought across the seas with him and they two lived in this forest among the Indians all to themselves for years until their death. I think he was a surveyor or may be a teacher. I have not had an 1 1 1 ' - ?? 1La opportunity to iook up me uuwi;. The tomb should have better attention if the state is to take charge of this fine property as it is and I suppose will establish a good agricultural school here." Lethe is a Greek word and means forgetfulness. In mythologj it means the river of Oblivion, one of the streams of the lower region? celebrated in ancient' mythology, whose waters had the power of making those who drank of ' it forget the whole of their former existence. Souls befora passing ' into Elysium drank to forget their earthly sorrows; souls returning to the upper world drank to forget the pleasures of Elysium. I do not know j'if the name as applied to this I school has this significance or not, I or whether the name has anything I to do with the river o? Oblivion or not, or may be Mr, de la Howe felt that he had passed into Elysium when he reached this beautiful spot of nature and that the river which runs by the place where he casts his tent was to him Elysium."
