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.
Located in Memorial Park west of the McPherson County Courthouse, this equestrian statue was designed by sculptor John Paulding in 1917.
Bethanyphyllum robustum (Hall, 1876) - fossil coral from the Devonian of Ohio, USA. (Dave Mielke collection; temporary public display, Ohio Geological Survey, Columbus, Ohio, USA)
This is a well-preserved rugose coral, commonly known as a "horn coral". Rugosans are an extinct group - they only occur in Paleozoic rocks. The soft parts were sea anemone-like creatures called polyps. The polyps made calcareous hard-part skeletons. Most rugosans were solitary, but some were colonial. This specimen is a solitary rugose coral - it has a solid, tapering skeleton of calcite.
Classification: Animalia, Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Rugosa, Bethanyphyllidae
Stratigraphy: Silica Formation (also known as the Silica Shale), Givetian Stage, upper Middle Devonian
Locality: quarry northwest of the town of Paulding, northern Paulding County, northwestern Ohio, USA (41° 10' 52.55" North latitude, 84° 37' 19.32" West longitude)

Stylolite from the Devonian of Ohio, USA. (plan view)
This dark crust is a stylolite, a pressure dissolution feature that frequently has the appearance of a hospital EKG reading in cross-section view (see elsewhere in this photo album). These occur in carbonate rocks (limestones, dolostones, marbles), especially in or near orogenic belts.
Stratigraphy: attributed to the Lucas Formation, Middle Devonian
Locality: undisclosed site in Paulding County (likely a quarry), northwestern Ohio, USA

Petroleum in a favositid fossil coral in the Devonian of 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 a favositid, or "honeycomb coral", an extinct group of tabulate corals.
The black areas are petroleum. Hydrocarbons have migrated into fractures and other porous areas of the coral. This specimen is in a quarry in 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!
Classification: Animalia, Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Tabulata, Favositidae
Stratigraphy: Dundee Limestone, Middle Devonian
Locality: quarry northwest of the town of Paulding, northern Paulding County, northwestern Ohio, USA (41° 10' 52.55" North latitude, 84° 37' 19.32" West longitude)

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!
Classification: Animalia, Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Rugosa, Phillipsastraeidae
Stratigraphy: Dundee Limestone, Middle Devonian

Euryzone arata (Hall, 1862) - fossil snail in limestone in the Devonian of Ohio, USA
The gastropods (snails & slugs) are a group of molluscs that occupy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Most have a calcareous external shell (the snails). Some lack a shell completely, or have reduced internal shells (the slugs & sea slugs & pteropods). Most members of the Gastropoda are marine. Most marine snails are herbivores (algae grazers) or predators/carnivores.
Classification: Animalia, Mollusca, Gastropoda, Pleurotomariida, Gosseletinidae

Machaeracanthus was a type of acanthodian fish, an extinct group of jawed fish that had spines along the anterior margin of each fin. The root word “acanth” means “spine”. Acanthodians were the first fish to evolve jaws and scales.

Horror in Dallas, Georgia? A little inside humor. There's a statue of a 19th century official right across from our courthouse. It's been missing a hand forever, so I made this little supposition of what that hand may have been up to all these years!
With love to Paulding county, Georgia from one of your residents!

It is estimated that the jail was constructed between 1895-1900, based on newspaper articles as the county records were lost in a courthouse fire in 1932. The Pauly Jail Building & Manufacturing Co. of St Louis built it. These remains sit behind the Paulding PO. It was badly deteriorated when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 and has since basically fallen in on itself. This old jail could pretty much stand as the symbol for the "town" of Paulding. If you've ever been there you know what I mean.
