Black - Watson
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 19 March 1897
About three miles southwest of here and lying a half mile west of the Wallace and Grange Corner Road, completely surrounded by a dense woods, giving it a terrible lonely appearance stands a few white marble slabs known as the Wolf Creek graveyard, and among those few slabs stands one with the inscription, “Remembrance of Watson Black.” It will be remembered by those who witnessed the dark days of the sixties when the taking of a human life was considered as an act of honor, and when there was murderous attempts made even upon citizens of our neighborhood. It was during one of those attempts when the war spirit was at its height that Black mysteriously disappeared, and all attempts to locate his whereabouts proved unsuccessful. It is now reported that he met his death by trying to mount his horse with his gun in his hand, after an unsuccessful attempt to murder old man Lay, and was taken by friends to the above stated grave yard, who lifted the sod carefully and placed and covered him securely from all outside view.
