Near the site of this cache is an old settlement named Shetlerville. "Shetlerville was settled by Joseph Shetler. Joseph migrated to America from Bavarian Germany at the age of 21. He came down the Ohio River and settled in a small community known as Parkinson’s Landing. It is located four miles down the river from Rosiclare. It became Hardin County’s largest shipping port exporting potatoes, wheat, corn and beans.
During the 1800’s Shetlerville was a thriving community with more population and businesses than Cave-In-Rock, Elizabethtown or Rosiclare (the other river towns in Hardin County)
Some of the early settlers were Parkinsons, Shetlers, Herrmanns, Humms, Sieners, Rotes, Zimmers, Kochs, Foes, Smocks and Andersons. Many of them from Germany. While the thriving business community of Shetlerville is gone, many of their descendents are residents in Hardin County [and Pope County] today."
Some of the place names near here are named after the early settlers.
This cache is named after Mary Rotes Siener who was born and lived near here.
