Mr. Hacker had gone to Martinsville, Indiana, driving a wagon drawn by two horses, for supplies, and was on his way home at the time of his death. Hacker Creek was the road at the time. It had rained, the creek was flooded and he couldn't get through. Being late in the day, darkness had overcome him. He climbed up the hill to go around the water, stumbled over the rock bluff, falling down into the swolen waters, he drowned. This is a short distance from there he is buried on Hacker Creek.
