History
Markleville was laid out by John Markle in 1852, and named after him. It was incorporated as a town in 1912. The site of the Fall Creek Massacre, chronicled by Jessamyn West in her novel Massacre at Fall Creek, is located about a mile from Markleville. A historical marker located just east of Markleville on State Road 38 tells the story of the massacre. In 1824, four men named Hudson, Sawyer, John T. Bridge Sr. and John Bridge Jr. were tried and sentenced to death for the murders of eight members of a small group of Seneca Indians, including women and children. All were publicly hanged except for 18-year-old John Bridge Jr., who was pardoned on the gallows in person by Indiana Governor J. Brown Ray because of his age. This was the first time in U.S. history that white men were subjected to capital punishment for the murder of Native Americans.
