On Saturday, September 23, 2017 the Old Van Cortlandtville Cemetery Association held a Plaque Dedication to unveil a new marker for the John Paulding gravesite. I was honored to be a part of the ceremony and also to secure the funds needed to create the plaque. Knowing of my interest and involvement in promoting history and being a Revolutionary War Reenactor for over 40 years, members of the association approached me hoping I would help in the creation of the plaque. I was glad to have the opportunity to have a hand in the initiative to create the plaque and was able to obtain the funding required to have the plaque created and installed.
The act of John Paulding and his comrades Isaac Van Wart and David Williams capturing British spy Major John Andre was a turning point in our nation’s history. In recent years, the story has a renewed interest due the background setting of West Point, George Washington, Benedict Arnold and especially the new details regarding the spy ring involved in the war. A number of books and even a television series has appeared in just the last few years giving renewed interest in the story.
John Paulding, the lead figure in the capture of Andre, is buried in the Old Van Cortlandt Cemetery just yards from the historic Revolutionary War Era Old St. Peter’s Church. He died in 1818 at the age of 60 and was honored with a prominent site and stone/obelisk structure. Over time, the words engraved into the marble monument have faded and it is just a matter of time until they are lost forever. The new plague that was installed replicates the engraved words exactly so as to preserve them for generations to come.
Very dark reddish brown = sphalerite (ZnS)

A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 6100 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
The sulfide minerals contain one or more sulfide anions (S-2). The sulfides are usually considered together with the arsenide minerals, the sulfarsenide minerals, and the telluride minerals. Many sulfides are economically significant, as they occur commonly in ores. The metals that combine with S-2 are mainly Fe, Cu, Ni, Ag, etc. Most sulfides have a metallic luster, are moderately soft, and are noticeably heavy for their size. These minerals will not form in the presence of free oxygen. Under an oxygen-rich atmosphere, sulfide minerals tend to chemically weather to various oxide and hydroxide minerals.
Sphalerite is a somewhat common zinc sulfide mineral (ZnS). It has a metallic to submetallic to resinous to adamantine luster. Many metals can substitute for the zinc, such as iron, cadmium, and manganese. Sphalerite almost always has some iron in it, so a better chemical formula would be (Zn,Fe)S. Sphalerite has a wide color range, depending principally on iron content. Pure to almost pure sphalerite is whitish to greenish. With increasing iron content, sphalerite becomes yellowish to brownish to blackish. One variety of sphalerite has a strikingly intense dark red color (ruby sphalerite). Its streak color also varies with iron content from whitish to pale yellowish to brownish. Sphalerite is also distinctive in being moderately heavy for its size and having six different planes of cleavage.
Sphalerite is the most important zinc ore mineral. Zinc produced from sphalerite is used for many purposes, including mixing with copper to produce brass, rust protection of iron & steel, and for making modern American pennies.

Petroleum in a Hexagonaria fossil coral from the Devonian of Ohio, USA. (Dave Mielke collection; temporary public display, Ohio Geological Survey, Columbus, Ohio, USA)
Corals are essentially sea anemones (polyps) that make a skeleton, which is usually mineralized. Most corals are colonial, but some are solitary. This particular fossil is Hexagonaria, a colonial rugose coral having many hexagonally-shaped corallites, as seen in plan view (click on the photo to zoom in - the corallite shapes are a tad difficult to discern here).
The black areas are petroleum. Hydrocarbons have migrated into fractures and other porous areas of the coral. The black spots are corallite centers. This specimen is from northwestern Ohio, which had a significant petroleum system that was heavily exploited in the late 1800s. Ohio used to be the # 1 petroleum exporter in the world!

Orbiculoidea doria (Hall, 1863) inarticulate brachiopod & Aulopora sp. corals encrusting a Megastrophia brachiopod from the Devonian of Ohio, USA. (Dave Mielke collection; temporary public display, Ohio Geological Survey, Columbus, Ohio, USA)
The dark brown object is Orbiculoidea, an inarticulate brachiopod that is encrusting a strophomenid brachiopod from Ohio's famous Silica Formation, a richly fossiliferous unit. The encrusters to the right of the Orbiculoidea are auloporids, a group of extinct tabulate corals. Auloporids consist of calcareous colonies of hard substrate-encrusting, trumpet-shaped corallites. They first appear in the Ordovician and go extinct in the Permian.
Classification of inarticulate: Animalia, Brachiopods, Inarticulata, Lingulata, Linguliida, Disciniidae
Classification of corals: Animalia, Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Tabulata, Auloporidae
Classification of host brachiopod: Animalia, Brachiopoda, Articulata (also known as Rhynchonelliformea), Strophomenida, Strophodontidae
Stratigraphy: Silica Formation (also known as the Silica Shale), Givetian Stage, upper Middle Devonian

Because of its level, poorly drained soil (note the puddles), Ohio's Great Black Swamp remained sparsely populated until the last decades of the nineteenth century, when ditching and tiling rendered the land arable.
Located on the grounds of the old Greene County Courthouse in Paragould, this WWI Monument was erected in 1920 using the work of sculptor John Paulding of Illinois. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

Pyrite is a common iron sulfide mineral (FeS2). It’s nickname is “fool's gold”. Pyrite has a metallic luster, brassy gold color (in contrast to the deep rich yellow gold color of true gold - www.flickr.com/photos/jsjgeology/sets/72157651325153769/), dark gray to black streak, is hard (H=6 to 6.5), has no cleavage, and is moderately heavy for its size. It often forms cubic crystals or pyritohedrons (crystals having pentagonal faces).
Pyrite is common in many hydrothermal veins, shales, coals, various metamorphic rocks, and massive sulfide deposits.
Seen here is finely-crystalline pyrite coating a fracture in Devonian carbonate rock.

John Paulding became the best-known of the three men who captured John André in Tarrytown, NY, thereby discovering the surrender of West Point to the British by Benedict Arnold. A statue with his likeness sits atop the Captor's Monument in Tarrytown.
Members of the Paulding Photo Club shot the same bank safe in our meeting place. It was interesting to see the diversity of viewpoints.
This courthouse is noteworthy for its distinctive Ozark stonework. The building was originally constructed in 1871, but was expanded and remodeled in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project. It is a classic example of regional vernacular style, that would fit seamlessly in any northern Arkansas or southern Missouri county seat.
The Carter County Courthouse was designed by the firm of Heckenlively & Mark, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.
The Carter County WWI Monument on the courthouse grounds was sculpted by John Paulding, and was erected in 1921. It is considered a contributing object to the courthouse's National Register listing.
Onaga is located in northern Pottawatomie County.

Funding for this Carnegie library was granted on July 13, 1912 in the form of $40,000. It stands at 205 South Main Street, and is claimed to be the first Carnegie library to serve an entire county. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
The building was designed by Howard & Merriam using a Beaux-Arts style.
Paulding is a small northwestern Ohio county seat, located to the east of Fort Wayne.
