Background

This is one of a series of informational cards created by the Linworth United Methodist Church and Historical Society sharing the history of Bill Moose and the Wyandot Indians in central Ohio.

Bill Moose was believed to be the last full-blooded member of the Wyandot tribe to live in Ohio. He spent many years living in a shack at the corner of Morse and Indianola roads, and was well-liked by people throughout central Ohio.

This card describes his funeral and burial site. He passed away in 1937, just two months shy of his 100th birthday. His visitation was held over five days at the Rutherford Funeral Home, and combined with his funeral drew an estimated 20,000 people to pay their respects. He is buried at a site known as Wyandot Hill.
