Excerpt from Centennial History of Coshocton County, Ohio, Vol. 1
Coshocton
Life by life, and race by race,
You pass through ages strange;
Breath by breath, and death by death,
You run the links of change.
Your tribes have come, your tribes have gone,
And those today will go;
What Time may bring, as cycles swing,
No man of us can know.
Your years are old, your work is old,
Since Man first named you Home;
His trail is o"er your glacial shore,
And where the Mammoth roamed.
He has left his bones in your ice-drift stones,
And Mounds of ancient earth;
While forests reared, and forests seared,
Before the Red Man"s birth.
He lived by blood, and right of might,
And flaked his flint to slay;
Through moonlit waste he howled his hate,
And danced to crimson fray.
Then shadows broke, new life awoke -
Coshocton, Hearth of Men!
Our Home and Sun, till we are done -
O Lord of hosts, what then?
