First Indiana Natural Gas WellSome natural gas was also found in Jasper County after a local Jed Clamppet struck oil. Maybe I can get that story ready later this week.
One mile southwest of this marker gas was discovered in 1867 by G. Bates while drilling for oil at a depth of 500 feet. Gas wells were drilled in 1887-1888; gas piped into Francesville lasted only four years.
