Dear Sir, Hello, I thought you may be interested in seeing two old photographs that were sent to me some time ago by Dr.John Iverson ,professor of Biology at Earlham College ,Richmond Indiana of the mounted skeleton of Van Amburgh's famous elephant "Tippoo-Sahib"which had died(or maybe killed)in the old brick foundry building on Eastern Avenue at Connersville Indiana April-7-1871. Its skeleton was buried at the top of Indian Hill on the Charles Frost farm 3 miles North west of Connersville and later exhumed in 1877 and mounted in 1878 at nearby Earlham college . The skeleton was later destoyed in a fire in 1924. In one photo it stands to the left of a Mastodon skeleton that was found near Losantville Indiana which was mounted in 1895.The Mastodon skeleton survived the fire and can still be seen at Earlham College today. thank you K.C Cornish
