1933, "the original table rock"

A 1933 record of oral history by Elsie Pepoon Sutton, then a former resident of the Bunker Hill neighborhood.  She talked to the nine people (not all in Table Rock by then) who had lived in Table Rock when "the" Table Rock was still there.  She gathered recollections to determine what it looked like (including the petroglyphs) and what had happened to it.  In the course of that, she also picked up many tidbits of local history -- Indians camping out by the Table, the location of Indian trails, the mill on the Nemaha by the Table (variously Clayton's Mill, Cummings Mill, and Blacklaw Mill, appearing to be successive owners of the mill.  She also picked up tidbits about how people lived and worked in those early days.
