Elkhart (IN) Weekly Review, April 1, 1908, p. 6. WHEEL TURNS UP TREASURE Stone Moved in a Farm Road Uncovers $22 in Gold Nashville, Ind., March 30-John Helms, near Elkinsville, while driving up a steep hill on his farm with a load of logs, had his attention directed to pieces of decayed cloth and a peculiar stone that the wheel had turned over, and he picked up $22 in gold. The road traversed by Helms is through "new ground," the soil being mellow. The money was unearthed near an old decayed log, and the stone had evidently been placed over the coin. On the stone were several peculiar marks. A few years ago a sack containing $87 in gold was unearthed by a plow in the Elkinsville neighborhood. These coins bore dates ranging from 1838 to 1879.

Meanwhile, a jury is taking testimony in relation to his death.

Pat-- I encourage you to contact Alan January at the Indiana Archives to determine if Alice Applegate/McApplegate was ever committed to a hospital for the insane. If she was, and you can prove that she is your ancestor, you should be able to access her records that often contain very useful information.

Ft. Wayne (IN) Daily Gazette, November 18, 1881, p. 2. The gold discovery excitement still continues in Vienna Township, Scott County, and a large number of persons visited the James Collins farm in the southern part of the township where two shafts have been sunk to a depth of about 15 feet from which fine particles of gold have been taken. The gold is found in the black sand-that is to say the supposed gold. Many persons who profess to be experts pronounce it pure gold. Similar discoveries have been made last Summit on the J. M. & I. Road six miles south of Scottsburg. For a number of years it has been claimed that gold existed in Scott County.
