Cavern Discovery on David Smith Farm Near Piedmont W Va
A cavern found on Mr. David Smith’s Piedmont farm in West Virginia rivals Luray Cavern in size and beauty. It extends over two miles in one direction and about three quarters of a mile the other, with a 90 foot high chamber and slender supporting columns. Explorations will continue immediately. The piece also recalls Boston resident Thomas G. Appleton who died, noting his genial humor and witty conversation. It mentions an anecdote about advertising a horse for sale to avoid crossing a bridge, a detail not echoed in the ad.
