123.050 airport
147.420 County Ares/Red Cross Mutual Aid (DO THEY USE FREQUENCY)

147.420 is generally regard in the 2 meter band plan as a Simplex (not repeater) frequency.

Simplex frequencies are usually not documented in "repeater directories", as I no longer live in Indiana it is difficult to say, only the user would know for certain,

123.05 is an Helo freq, and I believe is in the standard programming templates of IN National Guard UH-60's. (Blackhawks)

Close. 123.025 is the rotary-wing advisory frequency, used mostly in the vicinity of cities or areas with significant helicopter traffic. 123.050 is a UNICOM frequency for airports without a control tower; I can't say specifically which one this would belong to, but pilots will begin and end all UNICOM transmissions with "[airport name] traffic," which should make it easy identify.

Yes 47.420 is low band Red Cross. A lot of Red Cross units are no longer using this frequency. A lot of units have gone to using a cell phone or they have a talkgroup assigned to them on a statewide radio system. 147.420 is for ham radio for ARES communications. Ham radio does work with Red Cross for emergencies.

123.050 is assigned to a handful of heliports in the city: 81II, 23IN, IN06 that I can find. It's not uncommon around cities to have a dedicated frequency for helicopter traffic, while 123.025 is mostly used for advisory or A/A.
