Charles Scooler Cabin Near Whitestown

This log cabin stands (in 1962) on the west side of the road, two miles due south of Whitestown, on land entered in 1832 by Charles Schooler„ the great grandfather of Walter Schooler, age 91, who lives one half mile north of the cabin site. The cabin, which may have been built in the early 1830’s, formerly stood about an eighth of a mile southwest of its present location, but was moved and used as a farm building (cabin can be seen in image 3, in the distance, left of barn). A road from the west and just north of the cabin ends in the north and south road coming from Whitestown. In the southwest angle formed by the road T, is the Schooler Family burial plot. Walter Sohooler told me that the plot originally was 28 feet square and that several Schoolers are buried in it. Only three stones remain on the plot, which is unfenced. The weathered slabs record the burials of "James O., Son of John and Mary A. Schooler, Died Sept, 1851„ Aged 4 M. 3 D." Andrew F., Son of John and Mary A. Schooler, Died April 12, 1839, Aged 8 M. 2 D", and Sarah E., Daughter of J. and M. A. Schooler, Died Feb. 14, 1860, Aged 11 Years 5 Mos., 11 D.” John Schooler was the eon of Charles Schooler, and the grandfather of Walter Sohooler,
About one half mile further south and on the east side of the road is the Jones Cemetery. About a mile east of the Jones Cemetery is the Pitzer Cemetery. There are three low spots on the Walter Schooler farm which are said to have been buffalo wallows, ie., the muddy places where the woods bison sought refuge from tormenting flies. My father told me when I was a little boy that an eroded path paralleling the Whitestown road on the east side and noticeable from the T road at the Shooler burial plot southward to the T road which goes east, a distance of about a quarter of a mile, was an old buffalo trail or trace.
