Geocache Description:

Reeve Township covers an area of 44.92 square miles,0.8 square miles of this is water. Big Piney Pond and Little Piney Pond are in this township.

Reeve Township was organized on 12 May 1817 at the first meeting of the Daviess County Commissioners. It was named for its earliest resident, South Carolina native Joshua Reeve, who had settled in the township in 1808. As the first settler in the area, Reeve lived in an isolated cabin in the forest; in order to obtain needed supplies, he was forced to travel to Vincennes. Desiring to simplify his travels, Reeve blazed a trail through the woods from his home to Vincennes; in later years, the route became a road, and by the early twentieth century it had become one of the county's leading highways.
Saint Patrick's Catholic Church in the town of Corning in Daviess County, Indiana is a nineteenth century church, and one of the oldest surviving Gothic Revival churches in the State of Indiana.The history of Saint Patrick’s begins when Father Lalumiere purchased 80 acres with the intent of laying out a town to be known as O’Cownettsville. On this land Reverend Julian Delaune built the first log church at a place which, due to the large amount of Irish settlement, came to be known as Glencoe. The Saint Patrick’s-Glencoe Cemetery is still located at the site. After the completion of the Wabash and Erie Canal the workers (who were predominantly Irish) began work on grading the land for the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. Due to this, the population center shifted east from Glencoe, and in the 1850’s Reverend Bartholomew Piers proposed moving the church.http://arch-iholic.blogspot.com/2012/04/saint-patricks-at-corning.html#!/2012/04/saint-patricks-at-corning.html
