Subject: Indiana Historical Society to Host Genealogy Lectures
Indiana Historical Society Will Host Genealogy Lectures
The Indiana Historical Society will offer a chance for people to
personally connect with history as it hosts two upcoming genealogy
lectures at the Indiana History Center, located at 450 W. Ohio St. Grave
Business: Mortality Schedules, Diseases & Epidemics will be offered on
Saturday, July 15, and Family History and the Civil War is scheduled on
Saturday, Aug. 5.
Grave Business: Mortality Schedules, Diseases & Epidemics will
familiarize participants with mortality schedules taken by federal
marshals during the census years 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880. The
mortality schedules provide information about people who died prior to
May 31 during the census year. Along with information on the schedules,
participants will learn about causes of death as well as the influenza
pandemic of 1918. Presenters will include Diane Sharp of the Indiana
State Library's Genealogy Division, as well as Virginia Terpening and
Jerry Wheeler of the Indiana Medical History Museum. The cost to attend
is $10 for the general public and $8 for IHS members; the registration
deadline is July 5.
Family History and the Civil War will explore the three main Union Civil
War genealogy record groups-Military Units, Pension Files and the Grand
Army of the Republic. With an emphasis on Union forces and Indiana
research, these sources and techniques are easily transferable to other
Union states. Participants will be able to examine many different record
types, note their family history relevance, and mark their source
locations. Presenter Ron Darrah, a founding director of the Genealogical
Society of Marion County and the Chair of the Society of Civil War
Families of Indiana (SCWFI), has researched 11 of his own relatives who
served in the Union Army. Cost is $10 for the general public and $8 for
IHS members; the registration deadline is July 26.
Each lecture will take place from 10 a.m. to Noon. Early registration is
recommended, as seating is limited. For more information or to register,
call the Indiana Historical Society at (317) 232-1882 or download the

TEACHERS HOLD INSTITUTE
Interesting Papers Read and Discussed in Warren Township.
The teachers of Warren township held their seventh institute at Warren last Saturday. Miss Nellie Eastburn opened the session by reading a paper on school management. The paper contained many good thoughts in regard to "The School as a Social Center." Also that cetralization strengthens the school as a social center. She also brought out the thought that good school decoration had a marked effect upon the community.
Arthur Stroup follwed with chapter 18 of School Management. Mr. Stroup's chapter dealt principally with "Affiliated Interests." He spoke of the bearing or connection one study has to another, also discussed the question, "Should a Distinction be drawn between physical culture and athletics?"
Mrs. Anna Hargrave continued the subject of "School Management" with chapter 15. She discussed shool gardens, play grounds and vacation schools.
Chapter 16 of Social Spirit of America was discussed by George Brown. This chapter dealt with "The Social Spirit in Conflict with Anti-Social Institutions." In his talk Mr. Brown showed the evil of the drink habit. He also spoke of some of the government positions filled with men who are slaves to drink. Mr. Brown claims that the present generation cannot be reformed in this regard.
At the afternoon session William B. Jakway took up chapter 17 of Social Spirits of America. This chapter dealt on "The Institutions of Ideals. The Ancient Confederation of Virtue." Mr. Jakway spoke of the growth of the church, the church and the family, industrial training and economy through better organization.
Floyd Annis spoke on "The State Course of Study." Mr. Annis gave a brief review of elementary agriculture. He spoke of plants with two kinds of action, the relation that science has to agriculture; also that it was necessary to select the best seed possible for good crops. It is also necessary to have the soil prepared properly before sowing the seed.
There were five visitors present. The last institute will be held at Warren Saturday, April 15. H. W. Lydick has a paper on "Power of Purpose;" George Brown, "History;" William Jakway, "Geograph;" William Pierce, "Reading."
Biography from Rick B
Tuesday, June 20, 2006
HISTORY OF INDIANA FROM ITS EXPLORATION TO 1922 BY LOGAN ESAREY, Ph. D., ALSO AN ACCOUNT OF ST. JOSEPH COUNTY FROM ITS ORGANIZATION EDITED BY JOHN B. STOLL (Volume III). "BIOGRAPHICAL", published in Dayton, Ohio by Dayton Historical Publishing Co., 1923, page 189-190.
Frank H. Allen, manager of the South Bend Bread Company, is a native of St. Joseph county, having been born at Mishawaka on August 18, 1875, the son of William W. and Martha (Weber) Allen. The father was born March 4, 1849 and died August 23, 1903, while the mother passed away in 1907 at the age of forty-eight years. Frank H. Allen was educated in the common schools and was graduated from the Mishawaka High School in 1893. When he had completed his schooling he worked for three years with the Roper Furniture Company in his home city, where, in addition to a salary of six dollars a week, he received much valuable business training in the office. He resigned that position to become sales manager of the Michigan district for the American Malt Cream Company of Detroit, but when, after two years, that company failed, he returned to Mishawaka to enter the shoe business, going into business at the corner of Church and Second streets, his establishment being known as Allen'!
s Shoe Store. After four years failing health forced him to sell out his business, and he then traveled for one year on the road selling shoes. He next became connected with the South Bend Bread Company. His experience in salemanship made him a valuable acquistion to the organization of the company, and in 1912 he was made sales manager. He is now manager of the company, and much of his success is due to his ability in this position. Mr. Allen was married on October 2, 1915 to Hazel R. Pepple of Michigan City, Indiana, the daughter of old and honored residents of that community. Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Allen, Frank H., Jr., born June 9, 1917, and George Wintrop, born October 9, 1919. Mr. Allen is a Republican in politics, and belongs to the Chamber of Commerce and the Kiwanis Club. Mr. Allen was reared by his grandmother, Mary A. Strong, who came to this section of the country from Kentucky, her native state, by ox team, settling at Mishawaka whe!
n the main street of that city was only a cow path through the woods.
She was the oldest resident of that place and farmed land that is now contained in the city limits. She lived to the advanced age of eighty-seven years, passing away in 1914. On Mr. Allen's paternal side his family history is equally as interesting. His grandfather, Wintrop Allen, was half owner of a sailing vessel on Lake Erie, and was lost in a lake storm when Mr. Allen's father was but four years old. This disaster was so tragic that a noted artist made a picture depicting the episode, and this painting now hangs in the art museum at Buffalo. Mr. Allen has in his posession a newspaper clipping of 1862 giving a description of this painting. The history of the entire family is thoroughly and vigorously American, and Mr. Allen may well be proud of it.

Turned on the Gasoline.
George Smith and Charles Murphy, residing north of town, were arrested Saturday afternoon for malicious trespass on complaint of Mr. Robert Nutt, the north side grocer. The young men were in town Saturday and while loafing in the rear of Mr. Nutt's grocery one of the boys turned the faucet of the large gasoline tank allowing the fluid to run out. When discovered and shut off about $5 worth had run down the alley and no one was in sight. A woman, however, identified George Smith as the guilty party and Officer Walter Finch went after Smith and his companion, Murphy. In Justice Enos Long's court Saturday evening at 5 o'clock was fined $1 and costs including the payment of $5 to Mr. Nutt for damages, in all amounting to $18. The young man put up his bicycle as security. Murphy was discharged there being no evidence against him. This is the second time Mr. Nutt has lost oil in this way.
