Before becoming a territory, varying cultures of indigenous peoples and historic Native Americans inhabited Indiana for thousands of years. Since its founding as a territory, settlement patterns in Indiana have reflected regional cultural segmentation present in the Eastern United States; the state's northernmost tier was settled primarily by people from New England and New York, Central Indiana by migrants from the Mid-Atlantic states and from adjacent Ohio, and Southern Indiana by settlers from the Southern states, particularly Kentucky and Tennessee.
Though soon outclassed by newer vessels, Indiana was to enjoy a substantial 36-year career, a highlight of which was her transportation of United States President Ulysses S. Grant on the first leg of his celebrated 1877–78 world tour. After 24 years of transatlantic crossings, Indiana was sold for Pacific service, before being requisitioned as a troopship for service during the Spanish–American War. She was wrecked off Isla Santa Margarita, Mexico, in 1909.
Development
The four Pennsylvania class liners were constructed at a cost of $520,000 each by William Cramp & Sons on behalf of the American Steamship Company (ASC), a subsidiary of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The Railroad intended to utilize the vessels to bring European immigrants direct to Philadelphia, thus ensuring the company a steady stream of customers. In recognition of this purpose, the four ships—Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio—were named after the four states serviced by the Railroad. Design of the ships was entrusted to Charles H. Cramp of the Cramp & Sons shipyard, and Barnabas H. Bartol, a director of the ASC.

Freetown Cemetery - Jackson County, Indiana
This cemetery was not labelled, so it was unclear to me at the time whether or not this was the Old Freetown Cemetery in Freetown, Indiana or not. I searched the cemetery for the grave of Marie Elisabeth Knostmann May, my 3rd great grandmother, and could not find it. I then looked at the cemetery across the street, which was also unmarked, and found out that the one across the street was the actual Old Freetown Cemetery. I did not know if this cemetery was a continuation of that one or not until consulting FindAGrave.com which said that this cemetery is the Freetown Cemetery. So my search for Mary's grave here was in vain, but I thought I would share the video anyway for those unable to visit the cemetery who would like to see what it looks like.
