Must Have Been Goliath

Hon. J.H. Hainly, a well known and reliable citizen of Barnard, Mo., writes for the St. Joseph Gazette the particulars of the discovery of a giant skeletons four miles southwest of that place.  A farmer named John W.Hannon found the bones protruding from the bank of a ravine that has been cut by the action of the rains during the past years.  Mr Hannon worked several days in unearthing the skeleton, which proved to be that of a human being, whose height was twelve feet. The head through the temple was twelve inches, and the circumference forty inches, The ribs were being nearly four feet long and one and three quarter inches wide. The thigh bones were  more than thirty inches long, and large in proportion. When the earth was removed from the ribs stood up high enough to enable a man to crawl in and explore the interior skeleton, turn around and come  Some of the bones out with ease. The first Joint of the great toe, above the nail, was three inches long, and the entire foot eighteen inches in length.  The skeleton lay on its face, twenty feet below the surface of the ground and the toes imbedded in the earth, indicating that the body either fell or was placed there when the ground was soft. The left arm passed around backward, the hand resting on the spinal column, while the right arm was stretched out to the front and right. Some of the bones crumbled on exposure to the air, but many good specimens were preserved and are now on exhibition at Barnard.  Medical men are much interested.  The skeleton is generally pronounced as a valuable relic of the prehistoric race

The Tarleton Cross in Ohio was constructed by the Hopewell Sioux.  The Sioux occupied the Ohio Valley fior almost 2,000 years before being expelled in 535 A.D.  Mound and burial types would reemerge to the west, in what would be known as the historic  Sioux homelands

The cross was symbolic of the Sun deity for the ancient Sioux Hopewell mound builders.

8 Giant Skeletons in Missouri Mound; Light on Past May Be Shed
   Springfield, Dec, 27 - Discovery of eight giant human skeletons arranged in four layers so tha each pair formed a cross, in a shallow Indian mound near here apparently sheds new light on the religious customs of prehistoric tribes who once inhabited the Ozarks,
     Rev. S.P.Newberry, Springeild archaeologists believed it highly probable that the crosses formed by the skeletons were of religious significance.
     "The Indian cross," he explained, "has always indicated a place of worship,  In this particular case it seems particular a reasonable supposition that the eight skeletons were those of the high priests of some cult and their attendants.
   It was the custom of some tribes to sacrifice a priest's attendants when the priest died, and to bury them with him. In the crook of an arm of one of the skeletons was found an ancient stone sacrificial bowl, with markings which were exactly like four strange idols recently discovered by Mr. Newberry in the Coleman cavern north of Springfield.

"The fossils of three human beings evidently prehistoric giants, were found near Monteseno, Mo., the other day by C. H. Beehler, a farmer, at the depth of forty feet. The size of the skulls indicates that the bodies must have been at least ten feet high and the bones, resembling those of a human skeleton, seem to bear out this theory. Beehler has quite a collection of fossil relics which he has found at various times in this vicinity which is alive with them. He is confident that he has discovered the missing link and intends to submit his find to the professors of Washington University in St. Louis to see if they sustain his theory. Fossils of mastodons and animals extinct for centuries have been found in this vicinity by people who were plowing or digging wells. It seems to be a regular graveyard for 40 miles around for prehistoric bones which indicate the enormous size of the animals which once roamed the land."
