Notes |
- Per A. Aaron Foxworthy: James Corn was swept out of his mother's armsas they were fording Sugar Creek near Yountsville, Indiana. theCrawfordsville Public Library cemetery records indicate he was 2months and 18 days old at the time of death and buried in HarshbargerCemetery.
Per compiler, SLJuhl: Having been born in this area and living there,it should be known that Sugar Creek is not a river, but it is anextremely wide stream and at certain times of year becomes veryswollen and flood like from rains in the northern parts of Indianaflowing down stream into the Wabash River and it's tributaries. Thereare large, deep holes in the stream that can suck a person down intothem and drown even the best of swimmers. Many adult folks have losttheir lives to Sugar Creek. Sugar Creek also runs through Turkey RunState Park that is in Fountain, Parke & Montgomery Counties where theearliest settlers in the state lived. This is also the area of theWea Indian Reservation, who were forced to migrate with the Cherokeeto the West, and the 1812 Indian Wars. At and near the Turkey RunState Park is a favorite place for camping, canoeing, hiking, andfishing along Sugar Creek. The first mill, known as the Lusk Mill,for the pioneers was located on the Sugar Creek at the now State Park. I must admit, that I also have seen some rivers that compare insize to the Sugar Creek. Alas, it was labeled a creek, but at timesit is just as treacherous and dangerous as any river can be.
