Marvin Crim – WLWHS 1957 And NOW . . . the rest of the story . . . from the Kokomo Tribune / Elwood Call-Leader Walton, IN Train Wreck, Jan 1947 Submitted by Stu Beitler https://www.gendisasters.com/indiana/14891/walton-in-train-wreck-jan-1947?page=0,0 4 DEAD 36 HURT IN WALTON TRAIN WRECK. 36 PERSONS HOSPITALIZED WITH INJURIES TO 19 LISTED AS SERIOUS; RAIL OFFICIALS AND POLICE SAY ROLL OF WIRE ON TRACKS CAUSED CRASH; FBI STARTS INVESTIGATION. Walton, Ind., Jan. 28. -- Four persons, two of them from Kokomo, were killed, and almost a score injured when the Pennsylvania railroad's "Union" passenger train, bound north from Cincinnati to Chicago, struck a bale of fencing wire and piled up here Monday night about 6 o'clock. �Conflicting reports were that from 16 to 20 persons were injured and as many as 36 hospitalized, some for only minor scratches and bruises. The engineer, N. J. LAMARTIME, 61, of Richmond, was one of the most seriously injured. He suffered a cut over the eye and a sprained back, with possible internal injuries. Caught in the wreckage of the engine cab, he heroically directed the work of rescuers in cutting pipes to free him. He was taken to the St. Joseph hospital in Logansport, but it was believed his condition was not critical. Four cars of the eight-car train were thrown crossways of the rails, two others were derailed, and the engine was turned completely around and hurled over on its side. It was the worst railroad accident in the Kokomo area in 40 years or more. Railroad men estimated that the train was traveling about 80 miles an hour. Engineer LAMARTINE said he didn't know what caused the wreck but that he felt a sudden bump as the train reached the southeast outskirts of Walton. This, it is believed, was the roll of wire fence which had fallen on the rails from a storage pile alongside the track, or had been placed there. LAMARTINE said he threw on the air brakes immediately and the engine turned over soon afterward. It appeared that the bale of wire had been caught by the engine and carried down the track to a switch. The roll of wire, about two feet wide and containing some pipe, weighted about 400 pounds. The train pushed it a short distance down the track and then the wire jammed into the switch. There was one story that thieves might have been in the act of stealing the bale of wire and that it fell off their truck as the train approached. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Indiana state police opened an investigation of this report today. State Police Lieut. John R. Fisher and A. F. McIntyre, Pennsylvania superintendent, said the roll of wire was found jammed into the switch. Fisher said, "This couldn't have been an accident. It was either sabotage or larceny. Someone either placed the wire on the track or it caught there while they were trying to steal it." With the brakes slammed on, the fast-moving train screeched through the full length of town and when it reached the northwest edge of town the engine leaped the track. The big locomotive was torn loose from the train, reversed its direction and toppled over on its side before coming to a stop. The other cars careened wildly, one of them crashing into the Farmers Grain elevator alongside the track. The baggage car and three passenger coaches piled up in the wake of the locomotive. Great sections of the track were ripped up, and the cab was torn off and smashed. The baggage car, which was first in line behind the engine, was ripped into shreds and was a shambles. Part of it hung grotesquely in the air and baggage tumbled out of it and onto the tops of the other cars. The next car, in which the three passengers were killed, was crushed at the rear end, the victims all having been sitting in that part of the coach. The three other coaches ploughed into each other, two of them hurtling diagonally across the track in a jackknife shape. One car was jammed with terrific force under the baggage coach and under a part of the engine tender. Another coach crashed into the Farmers elevator, smashing into two carloads of grain that were standing on a side track and tearing a great hole in the elevator wall. The 80-foot elevator was moved six inches on its foundation. The grain -- 1,500 bushels of corn and 4,000 bushels of oats -- tumbled out in a big spill. D. E. Fitzer, elevator manager, said most of the grain could be saved. Some of the coaches were shorn from their wheels, and the scene was one of havoc. MISS KINGERY and PISCHKE, who had been friends for some years, were crushed in the wreckage and ground in cinders of the road bed. �PERKINSON, who also was in the first coach behind the baggage car, was buried in the wreckage and it was several hours after the wreck before his body was removed. Rescue workers used acetylene torches to get the body out of the tangled steel and debris. The third and fourth cars, which were day coaches, crisscrossed the rails, but no one was seriously hurt in either of them. The fifth and sixth cars were derailed, but remained upright on the right-ofway. The seventh car was the diner and it and the last car, a chair coach, remained on the track. Residents in this town of 800 persons rushed to the track and then hurriedly summoned ambulances from Kokomo, Logansport and Peru. Three of the injured were brought to the St. Joseph hospital in Kokomo. There was little panic at the scene. The injured waited patiently for medical attention, and passengers who were unhurt filed out of the coaches in orderly fashion. Walton residents and passengers on the train said there was a heavy thud as the coaches piled into each other. Eyewitnesses told of sparks flying from the engine as the brakes were applied. The train, which formerly left Kokomo at 5:19 p.m. had been changed to a new time schedule, and pulled out of Kokomo at 5:45 on time. MISS KINGERY and PISCHKE were going to Logansport where PISCHKE operated a night club known as the Logan club and where MISS KINGERY was said to have been in charge of the hat check room. MISS KINGERY'S body was removed to the Wolf mortuary in Walton and PISCHKE'S body was taken to the Case-Miller funeral home in Logansport. MISS KINGERY was reported survived by her mother, Mrs. Mabel Kingery of Greentown, and two half-sisters, Dorothy Scherer of Kokomo and Mrs. Russell Dean of Indianapolis. PISCHKE'S survivors were reported to be his widow, who lives in South Bend, and a son in Washington, D.C. MISS KINGERY and PISCHKE had met at the Hotel Frances and then had gone to the Pennsylvania railroad station to take the train. PISCHKE, it was said, had decided to make the trip by rail instead of by automobile because of the fact that his car was in a garage undergoing repairs. The Casualties.

Observers speculated that the boys may have been sent to a private or state home or institution to remain until they reach the age of 21. ---------------------------------------------My Notes: *Two of the four, believed to have died from being thrown to the roadbed in the accident, were actually scalded to death from steam leaking from the steam locomotive that had overturned. *The boys were identified in this Call-Leader account as 11-year-old Lysle Graves and 10-year-old Jack Sprinkle of Walton. Their ages were reported to be from 10 to 12 years old and were often reversed by the newspapers. *The line from Cincinnati to Chicago has always been considered an eastbound/westbound line by the railroad companies. Although often noted locally northbound and southbound, until abandoned in 1976, the railroads classified it as an eastbound/westbound route. *It’s been confirmed; at the time of the Walton wreck, Lysle Graves was 11 and Jack Sprinkle was 10. *Elwood Call-Leader / Tuesday, January 28, 1947 TRAIN WRECK KILLS 4 – NO ACCIDENT Former Elwood Man Dies In Walton Crash FBI Believes Wreck Sabotage Or Larceny “Among those dead in the train crash at Walton last night was a former Elwood man, C.

Willkie High School for the first time. Today, two years later, this thing that had been the dream of many of the students, teachers and citizens of Elwood has really become a reality. Two years ago, the question was raised, 'Will it be permanent?' And through the hard work of the students and their teachers, it has become a permanent part of the school. The whole idea of a youth recreation center is one several years old here in Elwood. Many years ago, during the depression, a Recreation Committee, composed of teachers and townspeople, established a recreation room in the City Building. This was really the start of a growing movement which has helped to make the Panther Den possible. At the beginning of the school year in 1944, the idea of having a recreation center was brought up at the Student Council. All of the students in high school favored the idea. The Student Council and the senior class of 1945 took the responsibility of organizing this recreation center - which was later to be called the Panther Den. They collected money from different businessmen in town and sold membership cards to the students. They decided on the old gym as the place to have the Den. The greatest change was observed by those who saw it last as a drab gymnasium. For today it is one of the brightest, modern places in Elwood. Most of the work was done by the students and the teachers. What used to be the boys' shower room was made into a lounge room. It has nice furniture and up-to-date magazines to be read. Along the sides of the Panther Den are booths. There is a music room and a concession stand. The students have also obtained a 'juke box.' There are two pool tables, four ping-pong tables, cards and games of all kinds. The Den is open to the students every Tuesday and Saturday nights from 7 until 11 o'clock. The present officers of the Panther Den are George Acres, president and Marjorie Waymire, financial secretary. Miss Mary Allen is the sponsor. The students and the officers have arranged to have a band once a month so that the students can have 'live music' for dancing. It would be impossible to name any one person responsible for the Panther Den. It only shows what can be done by a group of determined and cooperative people in a democratic society." So . . . look what the Panther Den is today, 55 years later . . . electronic communication for fun and reminiscences for Panthers across the entire United States. Amazing! Love to all, Loretta (Jarvis) Dodd, '56 in Elwood �Your Hometown Today by Sharon (Benedict) Hurst Hello, Denites, A quick update on your hometown, Elwood, Indiana . . . Anderson Street should be open from Main to the RR track this week. The globes for the lights are here. The posts are not, but should be fairly soon. There are benches, flower pots and trash containers here. The "brick" along the sidewalks and in the cross walks looks great. All will be very surprised when they see this. Our Main Street Committee has put a display in one of the empty windows on Main Street and it looks good. There are two businesses that are interested in doing windows uptown too. There are also two (2) persons who are wanting to open new businesses uptown. The restaurant on the corner of So. A St. and Anderson St. (where Tam's Drug Store used to be) is coming along well and will be well appreciated by all. Economic Development is a priority subject right now. There are many things coming together and it looks very promising for our old hometown. Of course, the sesquicentennial in 2002 is another big workshop for our townspeople. We are planning to have a celebration similar to the one in 1952 and have called out the troops (figuratively speaking). We have the paper work for a new program called the Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP) signed and ready to go. This will assist women who are not eligible for Medicaid and who do not have insurance or are under insured to obtain diagnostic testing. We also are developing a Resource Center through St Vincent Mercy Hospital which is located at 1525 So. A Street next to the License Bureau. There will be all types of information available in Spanish and English. Online computers, TV/VCR's and reading materials will be there for community access. This has all come together in the past year and the Community Relations Department at the hospital is working with the Robin's Rest to bring awareness, education and assistance to the people in our community through these and other programs which will be available. This is a very exciting time to be here in Elwood and to see the progress that is happening. This is just a sampling of what has been accomplished the last 6 or 7 months with only a small percentage of our community actively involved. If all of our community were to become involved, it would be difficult to think about what this town could become. We would be limited only by what we had not yet dreamed about. Until next time, your roving community reporter, Sharon (Benedict) Hurst, '53 Now in Elwood, IN To Page 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

M. Brown, Mrs. D. G, Evans, Mrs. A. D. Moffett, Rev. L. C. Howe and Rev. George Chandler. They were appointed by Mr. J. T. Alexander of Greensburg, Indiana to select a book list for a small, private, subscription library, owned by the International Library Association. That library was maintained by Mr. Alexander in a building located at the northwest comer of South B and Anderson streets, then known as the Fitzwilliams Building. During their meeting, in room no. 1, a committee member, Mrs. Alonzo D. Moffett, suggested the possibility of establishing a free, public library. It was decided to have the present librarian, Mrs. Eva Gilmore, send postal cards to twenty persons, inviting them to meet with the committee in the library room to decide the feasibility of this plan. The persons who responded ~ George Haynes, W. S. James, A. H. McKenzie, H. F. Willkie and Mrs. H. F. Willkie - agreed to meet and discuss this idea. (Left) Mrs. Hester Alverson Moffett. (Above) The Fitzwilliams building located at South B and Anderson Streets. Ata time when buggies and hitching posts for horses were planted up and down Main and Anderson Streets, they agreed to meet November 26, 1898 in the tiny library room. It was at that meeting the decision was made to solicit subscriptions at $10 a share, toward a fund of ~- $1,000, for a new library. Of particular interest to historians, Mrs. Hester Alverson Moffett and her husband, Alonzo Moffett operated the former weekly Free Press, the Daily Labor Record and the Elwood Daily Record from 1893 to 1919 when the newspaper was sold to D. W. Callahan. Mrs. Moffett is given credit for the founding of the Elwood Public Library. Through her editorials she stressed the need for public rather than private facilities. She helped found the Women’s Press Club in 1913. After her husband died she moved to California and continued her work with libraries in San Diego and Los Angeles. She died in Laguna Beach on August 27, 1935. She was nominated by Jan Connors, editor of the Elwood Publishing Company, and was inducted, posthumously, into the Indiana Journalism Hall Of Fame on April 15, 1989. �To Elevate and Refine Our Cosmopolitan Population The Elwood Daily Record published this editorial on December 12, 1898: “A PUBLIC LIBRARY: The effort on the part of a few of our citizens to open the way for the establishment of a public library is note worthy. They, themselves, have books in their homes for their own and their children’s benefit, but they remember that there are hundreds of young men and women in the city who have no means of culture and entertainment. It is for them that they take valuable time from business to devote to the work of opening a free library and reading room. Those to whom the committee appeals for subscriptions should consider the gain to the elevating resources of the city, which such a place of resort would afford, before they refuse to contribute to it. Debasing deficiencies abound all over the city. Places of questionable repute are open at all hours and offer a comfortable corner in which the youth who is seeking assignment may while away his idle hours. A free library and reading room provided with standard books and correct literature under the contro! of the city would furnish a place where young men who live in boarding houses and have no planned associations might pass an idle hour without risk to his person. Other cities smalier than Elwood and less able to bear the expence, have libraries in successful operation. Elwood is in the lead in a business way and it is time we began to come up with our sister cities in public enterprises situated to elevate and refine our cosmopolitan population.” Among the many subscribers and contributors were most of the leading professional and business men of Elwood, a number of lodges and trades unions, Sunday School classes and the children of the public schools. Some of the earlier responses were from: George Haynes, W. S. James, Glass Workers Union #50, H. F. Willkie, Mrs. Henriette Willkie, D. G. Evans, W. T. Wiley, A. H. McKenzie, Mary E. Cox, Elks Lodge #368, K of P Lodge #166, S. F. Downs, Henry Jordan, Class No. 16 of the Methodist Sunday School represented by William Curtis, Richard Jones, Mrs. Hannah A. Leeds, Mrs. P. T.

Greenlee, J. A. Hunter, Mrs. John Rodefer, Phillip Hamm, T. F. Hammack, H. P. Nivison, W. H. Smith, Jr., Stoneman & Co., Charles Cox, Clerk's Union and No. 16 Public Schools. By January 10, 1899, sufficient funds having been obtained to insure fulfillment of the plan, a mass meeting was held in the Odd Fellows Hall and a temporary organization was chosen ’ with F, N. Simmons as chairman and Mrs. Henriette Willkie as secretary. H. F. Willkie, a lawyer, was authorized to draft articles of incorporation and secure a charter. When the charter was - obtained, a permanent board of fifteen directors was elected for one year on January 25, 1899, ~ in the Odd Fellows Hail. They, in turn, on February 14, 1899, elected the following officers: A. H. McKenzie, president; W. H. Evans, vice-president; Mrs. Henriette Willkie, secretary and W. S. James, treasurer. : ; They all immediately began the work of establishing the library. The Alexander library of 515 books plus the purchase of 635 new books was the foundation of the new library. On March 21, 1899 Mrs. Eva Gilmore was elected temporary librarian. The first rule made was: “Resolved that...all residents of Elwood and all members of the association be entitled to receive books on proper identification of a resident householder known to the librarian”. Mrs. F. L. (Anna) Saylor and Mrs, P. T. O'Brien began cataloguing and preparing the books for circulation. On May 3, 1899, with 1,150 books and 12 magazines, the library was opened to the public in a small room �of the O’Brien building at 1414 Main Street. The building also housed the French Steam & Dye Works, The library was turned over to the city in June 1899, and was supported by taxes levied by the city council. The first library report for the eight months of the year 1899 was given by T. F. Fitzgibbons, chairman of the library committee, and was published in the local newspaper. There were 956 readers, a book stock of 1,267 and circulation was at 10,315. The most popular fiction authors were: Mrs. Wister, Caroline Hentz, Rose N. Carey, E. P. Roe and George Sheldon. The most popular juvenile books were the Elsie, Henty, Alcott and Pansy books. They subscribed to 10 magazines, 3 daily and 3 weekly newspapers. By spring of the year 1900, Elwood’s population had grown, tremendously, from a mere 400 in 1883 to just under 16,000. A new room was opened for the library in the newly built city hall. By fall that same year, the move was completed. Miss Nevius B. Farout, Librarian The board of directors, wanting to have a trained librarian, hired Miss Nellie Fatout, a graduate of DePauw University and the New York Library School. In August, 1901, she was ’” appointed to succeed Mrs. Gilmore. Under her direction, the library began fulfilling the expectations of its founders and became an educational factor in the community. As patronage continued to increase, demands increased in proportion and they quickly outgrew their allotted ' space, Wise heads began to cast about for relief. Mr. Carnegie Answers Plea For Help On August 27, 1901, Miss Fatout assisted Mrs. Frank L. Saylor, secretary of the library association, in composing a letter to Mr. Andrew Carnegie, asking for his help in establishing a building fund. This fetter reads as follows: Elwood, Ind. Aug. 27, 1901 Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, Skibo Castle, Scotland �“My Dear Sir, In behalf of the Board of Directors of the Elwood Library Association, I beg to present to you some facts concerning our library, its past history and its present condition in order to solicit your interest in our behaif, if you déem us worthy of such, after you have heard our situation. In January 1899, some public-spirited citizens called three mass meetings for the purpase of establishing a public library. These meetings resulted in a general canvas for subscriptions and money. When we had $1200 we fitted up an old store room, bought some eight or nine hundred volumes, classified and catalogued them and on May 1, ‘99 opened our library to the public. On account of local prejudice to an out of town fibrarian, we were compelled to hire a librarian who had never been inside of a library. Every step we took was with difficulty. Finally, the city council came to our rescue, levied a tax of four mills on the dollar, and gave us the use of a small room in the new city building. By means of entertainments, private donations of books and money, we have at present 2700 valumes on our shelves. Through persistent effort we have secured the services of a trained librarian. Public interest is coming so rapidly that in a few months our quarters will be wholly inadequate and as we have no wealthy citizens who can furnish us a building, we are writing to ask if your generosity can help us to secure one. As you doubtless know, Elwood has a population of almost 13,000 made up chiefly of workmen in the various glass factories and American Tin Plate mills. Hundreds of these men are here in boarding houses, away from home and family and to these especially, this library with its reading room is a great benefit. After six o'clock all stores are..,..” The Jetter ends there as, unfortunately, the last page is missing. The response from Mr. Carnegie is from his first letter, dated Oct. 4, ‘01: Mrs. Frank L. Saylor, Elwood, Ind. Skibo Castle, Ardgay, N. B. “Madam, . Yours of the 27" Aug. recd. Mr. Carnegie will provide twenty five thousand dollars for a free public library building for Elwood, if the town will furnish a suitable site and pledge itself to support the library at cost of not fess than twenty five hundred dollars a year. Respectfully, Jas. Bertram, P. Secy” Local historians may wish to know that, later, in a June, 1918 issue of the Elwood CallLeader, an article reported that Mrs. Anna Saylor. (Mrs. Frank L. Saylor), became a candidate for office in the general assembly of the California legislature, for the 41* district at Berkeley, California. The city council agreed to the annual pledge of $2500 in support and found a fine building site just down the street from the city hall at East Church and Wayne streets. The streets are now known to us as North A and 16" streets. According to the warranty deed, dated . Aprit 17, 1902, the council paid $3,000 for Lot #7 in Block #1 of the original town plat of Quincy, now city of Elwood, from the heirs of William H. Smith. The first important donation to the library was $1,000 given by the American Tin plate Company on 1901. In 1903, an endowment fund of $500 by Mrs. Hannah B. Leeds created the support of the Men’s Room in the library. Mr. Warner M. Leeds donated $25 annually, in memory of his mother, for the purchase of reference books. A gift of $100 by G. G. Reed was made in 1905. Construction on the new library began in 1903, the same year the natural gas supply was depleted and Elwood’s gas boom ended. In July 1903, Mrs. Saylor was instructed to make an appeal to Mr. Carnegie for an extra $5,000 to complete the building and furnishings. In August, �she reported Mr. Carnegie had agreed to the extra money provided that the city council would increase the annual tax levy to $3,000. The council approved, making the total cost of $30,000 for the city’s fine, new library. . A Marvel of Beauty On June i, 1904, the new building was dedicated and a grand opening ceremony held. The library board consisted of: C. W. Bennett, president, Mrs. John Rodefer, Mrs. Frank Saylor, 3. A. Hunter, Mrs. Alonzo Moffett and John H. Elliott. Nellie B. Fatout was librarian and Clare Lynch, her assistant. The newspaper headlines read “A Marvel of Beauty”. “The building ts an impressive example of the Camegie libraries in its Neo-classical Revival design. The main floor has two brick fireplaces with oak mantles and brick chimneys visible to the ceilings. Mosaic tiling decorates the *, flooring in front of both. Large iron bookcases are located behind the octagonal oak circulation desk. This area is framed by two wooden arches. There are six oak columns topped with fonic capitals. The vaulted ceiling has omamental plaster comice work, completing each area. The center ceiling directly behind the circulation desk contains a deep rectangular opening with the decorative plaster cornice moulding and a skylight. Dozens of beautiful chandeliers are found all over the building. The furniture is all rich and massive, solic! oak. To the right of the circulation desk is the main reading room with accommodations for a hundred people. To the left is the children’s reading room, of the same size, with juvenile books arranged in stacks around the wall. The west side of the building houses administrative offices and staff work rooms. The cataloguing room fs connected to the unpacking room below by a book Jift. In the west side of the basement is an auditorium that will seat almost three hundred people comfortably. A reading and smoking room for men is prepared where the daily papers will be on file. Games of chess and checkers will be available. In the northeast comer is a model club room with an Unusual decorative iron fireplace and will doubtless be rented by the various literary clubs of the city for meetings.” �Dedication and Reception Attended by Hundreds Dedication ceremonies were held in the Methodist Church at 7:30, After an invocation by Rev. Neal, Mr. C. M. Greenlee, on behalf of the building committee, turned the library over to Mayor Smith, who, in tum, resigned control of it to the library board, represented by C. W. Bennett, who accepted the trust. Then followed the address by Dr. W. L. Bryan, president of Indiana University, speaking on faith in education. In closing, the benediction was given by Rev. Howe. At 9:30 followed the public reception at the library building. It continued for an hour and a half during which time hundreds of visitors expressed their appreciation of the excellent work done by those who had the library in charge. At times, for half dozen years or longer, the way seemed so dark and uninviting that ultimate success seemed impossible. But the loyal men and women who had the real interests of the institution at heart never faltered and, in the midst of adversity, brought victory to their side by persistent effort. It was their ‘gladsome’ hour. In 1906, the Library of Congress referred the people of Boston, Massachusetts, to the plans of the Elwood Public Library, since it was “nearly ideal”. That same year the Indiana Library School students visited the library to see the grand building and to have the Elwood methods explained. Also in 1906, two members of the Frankfort library board came in order to study the building. The year 1909 saw Library privileges extended to all residents of Pipecreek township and a smail branch was opened in Friend‘s Store in Frankton in July that same year, In 1910, Miss Mary Baker, librarian, instituted the first ‘traveling libraries’ to the township schools and the Frankton branch was moved to a new location. A station was established at Dundee and a typewriter was purchased for the main library. When Miss Henriette Scranton became the librarian in October, 1912, she addressed six different adult groups in the interests of the library. The number of volumes grew to over 5,000 in 1913, But by 1915, the statistics for the library were: 12,519 volumes, 97.magazines and 10 newspapers. A total circulation of 47,157 - books for Elwood and the township, which included the branches at Dundes, Frankton and the ” township schools. The Willkie family, prominent Elwood citizens, was involved with the development of the library from the beginning. Wendell L. Willkie’s parents, Mr. And Mrs. Herman Willkie, were both lawyers. They were on the first board of trustees and Wendell’s mother was the first permanent secretary of the board in 1899. In 1917, Wendell himself was on the board. He married the librarian, a Miss Edith Wilk and his brother, Robert, married an assistant librarian. During World War I, with Miss McMullen as librarian, books and money was collected for the war work. The Red Cross’ surgical dressing class was given permission to use a basement room three night a week and the French relief class was allowed to install motors for sewing machines in March, 1918. The library reorganized and conformed to state laws in 1920 that said the library board shall consist of nine members ~ two appointed by the Mayor, two by the school board, three by the Circuit Judge and two by the Township Trustee. 1923 brought real expansion under then librarian Miss Bertram French. She put the Frankton branch on a firm basis by renting a two room building on Church Street, across from �the Post Office, for its 500 volumes and securing Miss Vivian Witmer as librarian there, under her management. A businessman, Mr. Pyle, of the Urmston Grain Company, saw to the building repairs and new furnishings. All would be ready in December. Miss French made a survey of the schools and established four new stations in town. A small jibrary wes opened at Martz’ Grocery Store at 9" and Main Streets in February 1924, to accommodate children and adult patrons in the west part of Elwood. The second station, opened to reach patrons in the southern part of the city, was at the Lehr Grocery on South J street. Small branches were also opened in four rural schools: Red Corer, Brannock, Cale and South Elwood. They contained about 35 volumes each and were changed every six weeks, Her work with children was outstanding. She not only arranged for a story hour at the library, but also had story hour at the playgrounds in the summer. She instructed the children of grades 3 to 6 in the care of books and began a summer Vacation Reading Contest in the summer of 1925. Her book fund was inadequate her second year, so two sororities in town gave $103.25 for additional books. Miss Bertram French Miss French held the first library district meeting ever held in Elwood on April 2, 1925. New Lights, New Interior, Re-Opening The changes in the interior by repainting the dingy walls and all new electric fighting fixtures installed by Neal and Reveal proved most attractive to patrons. The Draper Company, of Spiceland, supplied new window shades. The re-opening on September 25, 1923 was colorful with potted plants and autumn flowers lavishly used in the rooms. Miss French and her assistants, Miss Bessie Rose and Miss Lois Henze extended a cordial welcome to all callers. A continuous musical program, under the direction of Mrs. Henry Naumann, was given and the following young ladies served punch to the visitors: Mary Burdwell Davis, Jane Harting, Helen Dunlap, Venita Kelly, Margaret Zahn and Ruby McKee. The library board joined in the welcome. Its members at the time were: Sheridan Clyde, president; Mrs. W. Z. King, Mrs. 0. A. Armfield, R. T. Boston, Dr. H. M. Brown, J. A. Nuding, F. P. Behymer, Miss Mary Cox and Miss Margaret Dickerson. In 1926, shortly after the death of their mother, Mrs. Georgia Chapin, of East Main Street in this city, a curio collection was donated by the Chapin brothers, former residents. Collected by their father, it contained samples of ore from many countries, rock formations, sea shells, Indian relics and numerous other articles, including some very old newspaper copies. February 1926, brought an exhibit of 35 paintings by Leota Williams Loop, a former Elwood resident. One of her paintings is on display in the new library building today. Prominent �display space has been assigned to paintings by T. C. Steele, noted Indiana artist. His “Autumn Sunset” was purchased January 4, 1927 out of the Leeds endowment fund at a cost of $300. That same year, an exhibit of paintings by well-known Brown County artists was held the last week of February. Many district meetings of the library association were held in the Carnegie building over the years, as well as cultural events. A four act play entitled “Litte Women” from the story by Louisa May Alcott, was presented by the library staff at the High School auditorium, during the week of November 13, 1927. By 1927, the circulation had increased to 64,589 with 48% being juvenile material. The stock was numbered at 12,462 volumes, 2,919 of which were juvenile books, Also maintained were 76 magazines and 8 newspapers. 25" Anniversary Observed A dayiong schedule of events took place beginning at 2:30 on Sunday afternoon, June 9, 1929, for the library's 25" anniversary. There was piano music, singing quartets, violins, pageant contests, library history presentations and speeches. The principal address was by Mr. Louis Bailey, state librarian, considered one of the finest orators in Indiana. At the time of the 25 year observance, the circulation report was at 82,773. The number _ of volumes had grown to 14,905. Miss Lucille Genevieve Snow, of Logansport, assumed her duties as new library director on September 3, 1929. That year, some furniture was repainted and a new floor covering provided. “The Millyard” painting, by J. Otis Adams, 1895, was approved for purchase at a cost of $150 in February, 1930 and paid for by the Leeds fund. This fine work hangs in the south hallway of the new building. On November 15, 1930, Mr. Pierre Haynes donated 75 books from his own librery, in memory of his father, one of the first trustees. In 1930, the library board members were: Sheridan Clyde, president; Howard Horn, Dr. H. M. Brown, Margaret Dickerson, Mrs. W. Z. King, Mrs. O. A. Armfield, Edgar Dickey, Miss Mary Cox and Waldo Canaday. In 1931 the Elwood Historical Society was given the use of a small room in the basement for keeping objects of historical interest. An Elwood Call-Leader article of April 30, 1949 reads: “In observance of the 50" - anniversary of the Elwood Public Library the trustees and staff will hold an open house Tuesday night, May 3, 1949. A program consisting of a book review by Mrs. Overton Sacksteder, Jr., will be given. Refreshments will also be served. Although open for the program, no book exchanges will take place during the evening hours”. Various improvements and changes occurred in the Carmegie butlding over the years. In the 1950's, the north entrance was altered and the door replaced. The basement was renovated, new lighting was installed and the children’s reading room was moved downstairs. The only: major alterations to the building have been the replacement of the front doors and the front steps, circa 1966. The cement steps were replaced with granite and, instead of ascending in front, the steps rise to the entrance from both the north and south. �Tt was in April 1968, the Elwood Kiwanis Club planted several trees in front of the library to enhance the appearance of the entrance. The sweet gum Maple trees were purchased at Foland’s Nursery by the club’s agriculture and conservation committee whose members were: Walter Allen, Robert Carter, C. Forrest, Leo Jarrett and Weldon Shickley. The year 1975 saw the main floor carpeted and the furniture rearranged. The skylight in the ceiling’s center on the main floor was boarded up. That same year, a new furnace was added at a cost of $18,000. On June 16, 1975 a flagpole was installed on the lawn. Congressman Phillip Sharp, an Elwood native, presented a flag in memory of his mother, Florence Sharp, a former member of the library board. This flag was flown over the nation’s Capital in Washington, D.C. Esther Hunt, library director and Michael Kennedy, president of the library board, accepted this gift for the library. In honor of the library's 75” anniversary, an open house was held on Sunday afternoon, July 1, 1979. Then Elwood mayor, Lynn G. Chase, proclaimed that day “Elwood Public Library Day” to encourage the citizens to celebrate seventy-five years of progress in the current building and to participate in its programs. 1985 brought the opening of a new library in Summitville. The North Madison County Public Library System was now serving five townships with the Elwood, Frankton and Summitville branches. Early in 1993, disputes began on the possibility of constructing new facilities at Elwood, Frankton and Summitville. Wiring problems and lack of space were the main arguments for a new Elwood library. Built to house 20,000 volumes in 1903, the Camegie building had become obsolete with the 1994 circulation report expected to surpass 100,000 and the current stock over 40,000 books. That figure did not include audio/visual tapes and equipment, periodicals or Newspapers. More space was needed for new equipment, such as copiers, fax machines, computer terminals, microfilm reader-printers and other new technological fixtures and services. On October 10, 1994, the library board received plans for a new Elwood library to be _ built at a cost of $2.3 million. This figure was scaled down from the $3.5 million plan to construct new libraries at each of the branches. The next year, in October, 1995, after overcoming many obstacles, holding several debates and public hearings, permission was given to build. Architect Joel Blum, of InterDesign Group of Indianapolis, announced the acceptance of a $2,118,000 bid from M. D. Rowe -_ Construction Company and construction was to begin immediately. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 1, 1995 on the present site at 1600 Main Street, across from Elwood City Hall and the Carnegie Library building. Although the Frankton branch was not to have a new library constructed, they moved into a new building in January 1996, at 111 Sigler Street in downtown Frankton. The newly expanded and renovated Ralph £. Hazelbaker Library at Summitville was rededicated in August , 1997. While the new Elwood building was being completed in 1996, an announcement was made for the sale of commemorative ‘memorial’ bricks. These bricks, with individual engravings, would placed in a patio plaza area located outside the building on the east side. Also, citizens were invited to bring items and/or memories to share. These would be enclosed in a time capsule and sealed in a wall in the building. �On Sunday, January 12, 1997, the new Elwood Public Library opened with a formal dedication and open house. In spite of bitterly cold temperatures outside, over 300 persons attended the standing-room only opening ceremony. Library Director, Kathi Wittkamper, spoke during the ceremony and introduced the staff. Ms. Sue Grubbs, harpist, provided music as individuals enjoyed browsing throughout the new building. It featured large, round wooden pillars with matching tables and furnishings. Burgundy, hunter green and navy blue highlighted the décor. The Library Board members who, at that time, saw thelr efforts at last realized were: Linda Sizelove, president; Beverly Austin, Jerry Kaiser, Pamela Bohlander, Barbara Abernathy, Brenda Carey and Sharon Pace. The state of the art building showed public access computer terminals for locating books, . computer work stations, a children’s room and young adult section. Space was also provided for a Story Time room, an Indiana Room with Elwood and Indiana history and genealogy material, a large selection of audio/visual tapes and a community meeting room. Ail were new features. ". By the end of the second full Month in operation, March 1997, Kathi Wittkamper, the present library director, stated approximately 10,000 persons had visited the new facility. For the year 1997, the patron count totaled 94,484! A new permanent sign on the south lawn was unveiled in February 1998. At the present ” time, October 1998, the new facility has been open for twenty-two months, From 300 to 500 persons are using the library each day. New technology, such as Internet access and other computer programs, have been installed. Growth continues with impressive statistics, as well a patron use and new registrations. The current circulation report is approximately 103,000, and the number of volumes total 42,000. Let us give tribute to those persons who had the foresight one hundred years ago to begin a public fibrary and fought against fiformidable odds. Their efforts made this Centennial Celebration possible today! 10 �NORTH MADISON COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM - BOARD OF TRUSTEES Mrs. Pamela Bohlander, President 8246 W 1300 N Elwood, Indiana 46036 552-7160 County Commissioners, May 6, 2001 Mr. Jerry Kaiser, Treasurer 950 North 12° Street Elwood, Indiana 46036 552-7291 County Council, March 7, 2002 Mrs. Brenda Carey, Ass’t.

The old log cabin is occupied by “Grandma” Almira Stanley, who is far into the seventies. The old lady has a habit of leaving the front door open the year round and the lamplight shining through the door is the guiding star of belated night travelers.” Somewhere I read that the cabin had burned down."
