The farm {s situated about one and a half miles from Stonersville. The lane leading to the premises is mark- ed by a large white rock placed by the Historical society of Berks coun- ty, on which s the inscription: “One quarter mile to the birthplace of Dan- iel Boone, Oct, 22, 1733." In this connection it may be sald that some authorities give the date of his birth as 1734 and 1735, and his birthplace Bucks county, Pennsyl- vania. According to history Boone stayed here until he was 17 years of age, when he went to Kentucky. Tradition has it that it was nearby that he killed his first bear when he was 14 years old, and he was sp proud of his achievement that he carved an in- scription on a tree with his hunting knife, reading: “D. Boone killed a bar near here."” The house has four rooms on the first floor, six on the second and an attic. The original Boone dwelling had two rooms on the first floor and three on the second, but an addition similar to the original in every re- spect was made after the family mi- grated. One of the original rooms contains a large fireplace made of stones and still in good condition. Here it was on the mantlepiece, according to tra- dition, that young Boone carved a notch indicating his height when he went to Kentucky, and upon his re-| turn in middle age was interested to see how much he ‘had grown. How- ever, the historic notch cannot be dis- covered on the mantelpiece. The shutters and doors of the dwelling are hung on wrought iron hinges and still are in good condition, | but many of they windows are broken permitting rain” and snow to enter |and causing the floor to decay | Efforts have peen made to have the state purchase the house where the pioneer was born, and still more re | cently, there have been reports that the Historical society of Clarke coun- ty, Ky., has interested itself in the possible purchase of the farm for his [torical purposes. The farm is valued |at $15,000, according to late esti- mates, HUMANE SOCIETY " HOLDING CONTEST \Prizes Being Ofered for Posters and Cartoons on Kindness | | | Albany, N.
