Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Centennial Celebration at Bethel, August 26, 1874 The citizens of Bethel feeling that an event so important as the time of its settlement was worthy of due commemoration, a meeting of its citizens was held at the vestry of the Congregational Church, on Bethel Hill, Jul 14, 1874. The meeting was organized by the election of Major Abernethy Grover, as chairman, and Richard A. Frye, Esq., as secretary. It was voted to have a Centennial Celebration on Wednesday August 26, 1874. A committee of arrangements was chosen to make the necessary arrangements for such an occasion, consisting of Nathaniel T. True, M. D., Hon. Robert A. Chapman, David F. Brown, Esq., Richard A. Frye, Esq., and Moses T. Cross, Esq., with authority to make such additions to their numbers as they should deem proper. At a meeting of the committee, held at R. A. Frye's office, July 15, they perfected their organization by the election of N. T. True, chairman, and R. A. Frye, secretary. They voted to add ten members to their number to aid them, as follows, John D. Hastings, and Elias S. Bartlett, for the east part of the town; Israel G. Kimball, and Augustus M. Carter, for the middle part of the town; Samuel B. Twitchell, and Moses A. Mason, for the north side of the river; Elbridge G. Wheeler, Gilman P. Bean, and David M. Grover, for the west part of the town; and Major Gideon A. Hastings, for Bethel Hill. David F. Brown, Moses T. Cross, and Robert A. Chapman, were chosen a committee to select a place for holding the centennial meeting. At a meeting of the committee, held July 18, it was voted to extend an invitation to N. T. True, M. D., to deliver the historical address at the Centennial Celebration. It was decided that the dinner should be a basket picnic and that such table accommodations be procured for each school district as may be required. Messrs. Brown, Wheeler and Kimball were chosen a committee to appoint a person in each school district to see to the furnishing of the tables, and to have each district represented in the procession.

Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Download or read book The Lynching of Cleo Wright written by Dominic J. CapeciJr. and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 20, 1942, black oil mill worker Cleo Wright assaulted a white woman in her home and nearly killed the first police officer who tried to arrest him. An angry mob then hauled Wright out of jail and dragged him through the streets of Sikeston, Missouri, before burning him alive. Wright's death was, unfortunately, not unique in American history, but what his death meant in the larger context of life in the United States in the twentieth-century is an important and compelling story. After the lynching, the U.S. Justice Department was forced to become involved in civil rights concerns for the first time, provoking a national reaction to violence on the home front at a time when the country was battling for democracy in Europe. Dominic Capeci unravels the tragic story of Wright's life on several stages, showing how these acts of violence were indicative not only of racial tension but the clash of the traditional and the modern brought about by the war. Capeci draws from a wide range of archival sources and personal interviews with the participants and spectators to draw vivid portraits of Wright, his victims, law-enforcement officials, and members of the lynch mob. He places Wright in the larger context of southern racial violence and shows the significance of his death in local, state, and national history during the most important crisis of the twentieth-century.
