Bottom on Which rested the great prehistoric mound and other -mailer mounds The offer was accepted a year later and when the Trappi-ts were digging out level places on Cahokia Mound for their lag cabin- they found various gruesome relics of a by gone age This largest of the mounds ha- a base 998 feet long by 721 feet wide and I- 100 feet at it- crown It covers about sixteen acres Much of lite

originally in 1110 and rejuvenated and reorganized in 1661 was named for a village in France called Ln Trappe Expelled in revolul ionnry days some of the monk- soucht asylums in America Two colonies exist In the conn-try to-day one at Gethsemane Ky and the other near Dubuque Iown The Ulinoi- colony flourished for three vears Father Crbaln induced Con gross to confirm the title to the 400 acre- already held by the monks but failed to win favorable action on 4000 additional acres lie hoped to procure In the summer of 1812 the Trap-pi-t- li'-" other- in the American Bottom wore stricken ith a deadly fever which abated in the fall only to return with increased virulence In 1813 All liecame too ill even to aid one another It is said that all the sacred vessels save one were disposed of to procure needed supplies Half the colony perished The survivors disposed of their lands and materials on the be-! terms Obtainable The colony wa- broken up and its frail remnant returned eventually to France At no time were there mote than ThlTtJ -iv Trappists in the Madison county settlement It was a community of silence These austere monks communicated by sign- They never -poke to on- another utiles- it was absolutely necessary and never to the father superior without lirst obtaining hi- consent by sign The ban on silence wa- lifted for thOSS who received visitor- or cave instruction to the young The Trappists were strict vegetar-ianR who used no Seasoning save -alt They received no letters or news from the outside world They wore wool en clothing anil slop in their working garments removing only their footwear at night Their evening meal consisted of bread and water Their lieds were boards anil their pillows blocks of wood Those who fell ill were tenderly oared for and the dead were buried without coffin- The living toiled in the tieid- or wrought In -hops when religious devotions did not claim their time They were dosorlt I'd by Contemporary writers as kind unselfish pure
