Two pound cannon ball in Greensburg after the Civil War

“The Two-Pound Cannon Ball”

The following article appeared in the Greensburg Daily News on September 14^th, 1932. Wouldn't it be interesting to find this canon ball or find out more about it and the canon that fired it.

                               

A two-pound cannon ball was found on the banks

of Gas Creek near the stone quarry, just south of

the city limits Tuesday and was brought to the News

office today by Greenberry Roszell, 85, who is old

enough to remember when a cannon belonged to

the city and was often used back in the 60’s in firing

at a large sycamore tree which was used as a target.

This ball is believed to have been one that was used

In practicing on the tree which stood on the bank of the

Creek. It may be seen in the News window.
