The Northern Indiana caught fire on July the 17th on a calm day with light winds. The accident took the lives of 28 people out of a total of 104 passengers and 43 grew. The date and the account fits the story told by my wife's family about her ancestors journey to Michigan from Germany. Does any one know a resource that I may find a list of the survivers or are there newspaper accounts of the accident? Thak you, Bill
