I have recently found an article about a murder in 1869 at a house of ill-repute in Stringtown. Where was Stringtown? The article stated; "The house is situated about a half mile west of the bridge, on the north side of the Pike..."
Just curious! Thank you! Ruth Gaboury

Pike twnship is in the North-West corner of Indianapolis. The northern end of Kessler Blvd. runs into it. I am looking for information on Christopher Wachstetter of Marion Cty. Wife Jeanette Wiley. If you know anything please contact me.
Thanks,
Carolyn
