Dan's Run

Daniel Guthrie was murdered and put in a shallow grave near Pixley Knob Road. He lay there a year before anyone found him. The hole is still open.

Daniel Guthrie was killed and buried in a shallow grave near the corner of Pixley Knob Road and Cemetery Hill at Henryville, Indiana.

He was not found for a year. When he was, he was taken up and buried properly in Mount Zion Cemetery nearby.

The hole he was put in is still there, about four feet deep, and the run through this hollow carries his name.

A place named after a murdered man is a particular kind of memorial. Nobody in the area has to be told the story, because they use the name every time they give directions.

What is reported here belongs to the original grave rather than to the cemetery.

The date is not recorded in the account and the details of the case have not been confirmed here. The road is rural and much of the land around it is private.
