In Fort Wayne, Indiana, atop a low hill beside the St. Joseph River sits this small gravesite. John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed , died in Fort Wayne in 1845. You can see in the picture that someone has left some green apples on the stones in front of the marker. Johnny Appleseed walked the frontier lands around this area planting apple seeds and sharing the love that he felt for all creatures and all people. Indians and settlers alike loved the man.
