Stranger's Grave

In June, 1830, a young man named Eli Macy, on horseback and carrying a rifle, undertook to ford the Wabash at Godfroy's trading house where there was a ford. The river was up, and he was drowned. His body was found, some days aferward, in a pile of drift near Col. Reyburn's old homestead. The lone grave, inclosed with palings and marked by a stone, on the bank of the river near the Reyburn residence is where he was buried.
