Buried Asney Found on Wooster Farm
A Wooster area resident, Jan Robinson, while plowing last week, found two spaniel bones and a Spanish coin dated 1778. Another coin was uncovered about a year ago. Local lore ties the site to a clash between General Anthony Wayne’s forces and Native Americans on land now owned by Robinson, suggesting a buried trove remains hidden and possibly looted from settlers.
