My great grandmother was Sarah Ann Cartmill, grand-daughter of James &
Mary Creek Cartmill.
I thought you may like the following history of Clarks Hill , Indiana,
first named Clarksville, Ind.
Thelma Morgan
The little village of Clark’s Hill, the place of my birth, March 19,
1923, was founded by a Mr Daniel Clark. He was an emigrant to Indiana in
1845 from South Coventry, Connecticut. He joined with other emigrants
that had already selected this spot in Indiana, to be their home. One
emigrant, William Bryant of Ross County, Ohio, stood out. He rode
horseback to reach the area and then continued on to the state of Iowa,
just to return again to the area. Mr Bryant let everyone know the land
they had chosen for their homes, was the finest in the territory. The
land referred to, as the finest in the territory, was located in
Lauramie Township, Tippecanoe county, Indiana. The little village was a
very small community. But, five years after Mr. Clark arrived, a need of
a business center was felt, and Mr Clark, being a broad minded and
farsighted gentlemen, made the plans and laid off the plot for the town.
It was surveyed by Mr. Samuel Richards and given the name of
Clarksville. But, as there was another town by that name in Indiana, he
had to rename the town. The new name was CLARK’S HILL.
