More than a month has gone by, and freshman Lukas Cavar is still processing what happened after he was trapped in the cave. He doesn’t know exactly how to feel about the Caving Club at IU and its leaders who left him behind. He knows they made a mistake, but it was one that could have cost him his life. Since he got out of the cave, the world looks different to him.
“It was a near death experience. My world view buckled under the weight of that.” Lukas Cavar, Caving Club member left behind after a trip for three days

» CEMETERY
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The last person buried there was Hunter Wroblewski, an IU alum who died a year ago in a car accident in Florida. Stephens said he has three or four spots marked for cremains, and one spot, Wroblewski’s, marked for remains. But are only 10 and 12 spots left, which is why a meticulous process is necessary. “It can be difficult,” Stephens said. “Some people just don’t have the evidence that
links them.” But the Brewster-DunnAlexander family connections spread far and wide. Many descendants of the Brewster sisters, the Dunns and later on Alexanders and Maxwells contributed to the beginnings of the state of Indiana, according to IU Archive records. “The Dunn name is important in Bloomington,” Hofer said. “The Dunn-BrewsterAlexander family was very prominent in the founding of Bloomington, the University, other state colleges, and very active in both state and na-
tional politics.” Some notable descendents of Elinor and Samuel, Elinor’s husband from which she gained the name Dunn, played roles in Indiana politics leading up the civil war, Hofer said. George G. Dunn served in Congress from 1847-1849 and again from 1855-1857. David Hervey Maxwell, contributor to the Indiana state constitution, is acknowledged as the father of IU. He passed a bill to make IU a state university in 1820. Maxwell Hall was named in his honor.
The cemetery is maintained informally by the IU grounds crew, mowing the area once or twice a year, Stephens said. Walking around downtown Bloomington, students see Dunn Street, Dunn Meadow and Dunn Woods. It all links back this quiet little cemetery plot that often goes unnoticed, untouched and hardly visited. “It’s the place literally from which Indiana University sprang,” Hofer said. “That’s why it’s such an important part of the university.”
