Pike settled in L'burg township in 1803 and took up a portion of sec. 10 and fractional sec. 11 and 12, situated in Greendale, where the cemetery now is, and from there over to the Miami,as it was then around the Horseshoe Bottom. Col. Pike came from New Jersey,having served with distinction through the Revolutionary War and, like others, gave up all his property to the cause. The war over, the govt. was tardy in recognizing his services and claims, but a few yrs. before his death these were settled in part. He died in 1835, honored and respected by the entire community.
