Ancient Skeletons of Large Size
The following interesting paragraph from the Michigan Tribune, of Aug. 10, in regard to the size of men in the distant past, will be of use to those who regard the subject of ethnology from a Bible stand-point: “The Marshall Expounder of the 3d says: ‘Mr. C. A. Miller informs us that Fred. Sibley, in plowing up summer fallow last week in Clarence, uprooted an old basswood stump of large dimensions and uncovered three skeletons that must of necessity have been buried many years. The bones had the appearance of having been buried together, and many of them are gone. The skulls and portions of the larger bones were nearly entire, one apparently of very large size, the under jaw attached to it easily slipping over the face of a large person.’”
