point pleasant, o„ April 25.
—To this village—population 145—
ili« president of tbs United States
will come Thursday to tell tha
country what he thlnke of General
l.’lyssee S. Grant. Point Pleasant's
ravorits son, whoso hundredth an
niversary will be observed on that
day—April 27.
Ha will address the nation from
the porch In front of J. B. ’W'lnspear’s
general store, which is around the
•ornsr*from the lot on which Gen
eral Grant’s birthplace stood.
It will be Point Pleasant's one day
of glory in a hundred years; one
day of excitement in 36.500; one day
)f noise and of brass bands and of
iostling crowds on Mato street.
Town Little Chanced
One hundred years after Grant’s
1'irth, Point Pleasant is much the
same sort of a place It was then.
If you and we stop and make a call
on Merrell Cummins it will be as If
we were going back 100 years and
calling on the infant Grant.
Merrell Cummins, the youngest
child in Point Pleasant. is six
months old and lives two doors from
Grant’s birthplace. About him Is the
same setting in which Grant began
his life; soma of the same trees and
seme of the same houses that stood
there 100 years ago; and the same
sort of callous-handed villagers; and
the same quiet contentment.
The life and environment of tha
baby Cummins differs not at all from
the life of the baby Grant, except at
limes his parents may go to a movie
show in New Richmond. On the
same wretched road over which the
father of Grant drove a team for
Page, the tanner, today the father of
.Merrell Cummins drives a truck for
Uttfe Money; Much Health
The circumstance* of the Cum
minses are like the circumstances of
the Orants. Not much money, but
health and contentment: wholesome
food and comfortable clothing and
wood in the wood-shed.
And Point Pleasant is proud that
time has not changed much its looks
or its way of living. They say it is
as if Providence wanted it left as it
was 100 years ago. like a village that
had gone to sleep and hadn't
changed, so that Americans might
see from what humble beginnings
great men may rise in America.
Once Point Pleasant dreamed of
greatness. It boasted several pork
houses and a tobacco warehouse and
a tannery on Indian street, in which
Grant’s father worked. And there
was a pottery and a factos-y that
made clay pipes. The village was a
port of call for all boats plying the
Ohio between Pittsburgh and the
Mississippi, and its pork and leather
and pottery were known far and
wide.
Railroads Never Came
But the railroads never cam* to
Point Pleasant, and industrial enter
prise deserted it, and its young men
began going away to the cities and
It was left drowsing here in the hills,
unchanged except for the gasoline
line-fllllng station on the highway
and the automobile agency and the
Fords that ply through the village.
So Point Pleasant’s drsam of
greatness vanished; but Wlnspear,
the storekeeper, says. "Isn’t it great
ness to be known as the place where
Grant was born? Isn’t it a great
community that gives to the nation
a great man?’’
One Ambition
The village has only one ambition.
rill spsak on April 27, and J. B.
Below: The building In which Gen.
where General Grant wae born.
It la that the house in which Grant
was born be returned to It. Many
years ago It was taken from Its (oun.
datlon. taken on an exhibition tour,
and Anally presented to the state of
Ohio which keeps it on the state (air
ground In Columbus.
“We want It back." say the peo
ple of Point Pleasant. “Here it be
longs. We want to place It where It
stood before and it shall be a shrine
for the nation. What will people say
when they come here on April 27
and discover that our most valuable
treasure has been taken away from
|US?”
