“INDIANA SPIRIT
QUEST”
The Indiana Spirit Quest series of geocaches
will take you to a number of historic cemeteries built by
Hoosier Pioneers. In just a year and a half, the quest has grown to
over two hundred thirty caches hidden in twenty-three Indiana
counties, and two Ohio counties, and the hiders have grown to nine
cacher teams, six of which are comprised of A Man and His
Dog... One who is a man and his Cat, and one who is a Dog and
her Woman. Over 400 cacher teams have logged
over 4,900 finds. One cache machine found 102 ISQ caches in a
single day!

”I Looked Over Jordan, And What did I see?"
Lamont Cranston has hidden a cache in Jordan
Cemetery in Scott Twp., Steuben County. Listen:
This is a nice, quiet &
peaceful site. It's well maintained. There are veterans here from
the Civil War through Vietnam. A drive goes back into the
site.
Most likely, this burial
ground started as a family cemetery, but it appears that there are
many of the Parker family buried here now.
At least one Civil War
soldier with a marker here, died in the south.

Corpl. James B. Ewing is buried here. He died
at the age of 20 on May 13, 1862 while his unit, Co. A, 44th
Indiana was partaking in the Siege of Corinth, Mississippi, shortly
after the battle of Shiloh.His brother Edward, buried next to
him,just 17 years old, died just 12 days later. I can find no
record of Federal Service for Edward, nor does his Tombstone state
any as James' does, however, there is a military flagholder at his
grave...
Pvt. Edward Pew "died at Gallatin, Tenn. Jan.
24, 1863, aged 20y 3m 25d." His unit, Co. H, 74th Indiana Infantry
(a Ft. Wayne Regiment mustered into service on 8-21-1862) was
stationed at Gallatin from Oct. '62 to Jan. '63.
