“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 three hundred thirty caches hidden in thirty-three
Indiana counties, and two Ohio counties, and the hiders have grown
to sixteen cacher teams, most of which of which are comprised of
Dogs and their Humans. Over 700 cacher
teams have logged over 8,000 finds. One cache machine found 102 ISQ
caches in a single day (daylight hours only).

"Five
Corners"
Welcome to Five Corners
Cemetery located in Allen Township in Northern Miami County. This
little out of the way cemetery is located a few miles southwest of
the thriving metropolis of Macy, just off Business U.S. 31. Five
Corners Cemetery was established around 1856 and is one of the
oldest in Miami County. There is even believed to be a grave of an
unidentified Native American that has an iron marker in the shape
of an Indian's head and a stone with a number on it which I have
not been able to locate. Five Corners is still an active cemetery
with a few very recent burials.
Here is a photograph of the headstone of Charles Williams a
Civil War veteran who served in Company K. of the 138 Indiana
Infantry. The 138th Regiment was organized at Indianapolis, Ind.,
and mustered in May 27, 1864. They then were ordered to Tennessee
and assigned to Railroad Guard duty in Tennessee and Alabama, Dept.
of the Cumberland, to September. They were mustered out September
22, 1864. During their short time in action they only lost 8 due to
disease.
This is a photo of one of the oldest readable headstones
located in the cemetery. Charles Bryant died October 4, 1855 at the
age of 75 years.
