INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST
#73
”Mark Twain's Poem"
This quest will take you to Fairview
Cemetery, Chester Township, Wabash County, just north of Servia.
Servia is a great little ville; It has a four way stop, a church,
an elevator, a park, (and little else except the houses) and the
Post Office is in an old green trailer! This is a large active
cemetery, with an old section. We found an obelisk, the monument to
Christian and Lucinda Mylin, which reads, in part:
> "This ground
was donated to the United Bretheren in Christ for Church and
cemetery by C. Mylin Febr. 24, 1871".
You may find a granite monument to Edward
Pauling (d. 1904) with the following verse:
"Warm Summer sun, shine kindly here, Warm
Southern Wind, Blow softly here.
Green sod above, Lie light, Lie Light; Good Night,dear heart, Good
Night, Good Night." --This last is the same as is written on Suzy
Clemens' gravestone....
There are government markers here for
Civil War Vets, and Spanish American War Vets...including Jacob
Hipensteel, Co. D, 157 Ind. Inf., Sp. Am. War and Geo. W.
Winesburg, Co. G, 138 Ind. Inf. (Civil War). NOTE: Hint is a
Spoiler.
The cache container is a
SMALL PLASTIC Spice Jar. BYOP. Park with care. If you find a
fallen US flag, please stick it back in the ground. As always,
please be respectful, and cache in, trash
out.
