"The mounds of Webster county consist of the two classes, observation and burial mounds. They are found on both sides of the Des Moines river and along the banks of the Lizard creek. They are especially numerous in the neighbor- hood of Lehigh and McGuire's Bend. Mrs. George Marsh and a number of others living in that vicinity have fine collections gathered from these mounds and about them. Numerous skeletons have also been found in the Webster county mounds, and one recently opened in Boone county, a few miles north of Boone, contained many fine specimens. In 1876 an exceptional find was made on the Marshall farm near the southern boundary of Humboldt county. A nvmiber of people had gathered here to celebrate the Fourth of July and as part of the ceremony decided to erect a flag pole upon a large mound near the house. *In excavating for the pole they unsuspectingly opened a burial place of the ancient Mound Builders. In it they found the skeletons of thirteen people. *The bodies had been buried in a sitting posture, and were arranged in a circle facing outward."
