assumed to be West Minn shms of and this sandst me like rock to followed east y road corner 782 by a whitish clay assumed to be East Orchard clay. This same East Orchard clay and West Minn sandst me was also from's of road corner 782, where another road leads off north. It should be remembered however that one mile south of the C'many school this eastward road exposed actual black shale east of the supposed East Orchard and then the unknown sandstone, here called West Minn, but crops further west. There is our draft about northwest dip in the whitish black shale at the exposures east of the creek 1 mi NE of the C'many school. Returning to the corner N of C'maway school, = corner 782, a fully 1/4 mi E of corner and south y road, on east side of highest point in road, showed Tainimus or Canada galli in sandstone suggesting Waway age in place of West Minn or that the clay section northward, which dips most norady, may also be one of The Waway clays. cast side y pike at C'many school and church is some unknown whitish clay here called Wawayly clay. Further along pike is black-black shale. Then further south is the same unknown white clay of supposed Waway age, and further south is small abandoned store where lane turns off west to several houses back from pike. SW of point where this lane starts off is a knoll exposing whitish black shale on NE side where brink flows against east side y lane. Immediately by point when this lane cuts off there is a sandstone here in turn prefixed as Wawayly. Between point where lane turns off and road corner 779 the unknown white clay (Waway clay?) is exposed along road, on E side of road, N of Crooked creek 1 mi. NE of letter F in FRANKLIN, East Orchard clay is visible on east side of road by trace of West Minn with typical green West Minn joints about 40 ft above road. This suggests East Orchard age of unknown some clay, called Waway above.
