Commemorating George Caleb Bingham: An Exhibit
Famous portraitist and genre painter George Caleb Bingham has immortalized Missouri's past. Day by day he studied the Missouri riverman, the farmer, the local politician and the frontier villager, reproducing these familiar figures in great genre paintings. His fine portraits included prominent Missourians of his day. These paintings are valued as masterpieces of color and composition in their sensitive portrayal of Missouri frontier life. Born March 20, 1811, in Augusta County, Virginia, Bingham's family moved to the Boone's Lick Country of Central Missouri in 1819. Although apprenticed to a Boonville cabinetmaker at the age of 16, he turned to portrait painting in the 1830s. Lacking formal training, Bingham visited Philadelphia in 1838 where he was briefly exposed to the study of color and works of art. In 1840, he moved to Washington, D.C, where he spent four years painting portraits of prominent political figures. Returning to Missouri in 1844, he began to paint genre pictures of the river, political scenes and frontier life. In 1856, Bingham received a commission to paint full-length portraits of
407 408 Missouri Historical Review
Washington and Jefferson for the Missouri State Capitol, and from 1856 to 1859, he proceeded with this work in his Dusseldorf, Ger many, studio. Later he received commissions from the state legislature for portraits of Clay and Jackson. Politics also intrigued Bingham. He was elected to the state legislature in 1848, appointed state treasurer in 1862-1865 and ad jutant general of Missouri in 1875. In 1877 he became professor of Art at the University of Missouri. Bingham died in Kansas City, July 7, 1879. A fine colorist, Bingham used an unusual palette to achieve mood, perspective, light and atmosphere with smokey, sometimes im pressionistic, off-shades and brush work. His drawing was searching, descriptive and an important natural ingredient for his paintings. Compositional sophistication kept pace with his broadening life ex periences and continued exposure to his cultural heritage. The famous Missouri painter was at his esthetic and technical best when executing subjects closest to his heart—the land and rivers, and real people in ac tual situations. The State Historical Society of Missouri owns one of the largest public collections of Bingham works in the United States. The collec tion includes fifteen portraits, one landscape, two genre paintings, numerous pencil sketches, four engravings and two lithographs. Not all of the photographs of Bingham's portraits accompanying this ar ticle reflect their actual dimensions. The State Historical Society's Art Gallery presently is exhibiting the Bingham works in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the artist's death in 1879.
Society members and guests view Bingham's Order Number 11 at the 1974 Annual Meeting. John Woods Harris
A prominent Boone County merchant and experimental agriculturalist, John Woods Harris came to Missouri with his family from Madison County, Kentucky, in 1817. The family settled in western Boone County on Thrall's Prairie along the Boone's Lick Road. In later years, Harris acquired additional acreage, and im proved and developed the family farm. The St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association awarded it the title, Model Farm of Missouri in 1873. Harris also engaged in the mercantile business in Columbia, Middle Grove and Rocheport. In 1860 and 1864, he was elected to the General Assembly from Boone County. For a number of years, Harris served as a member of the Board of Curators at the University of Missouri, where he received the honorary degree, Master of Agriculture. A member and president of the State Board of Agriculture, he was ap pointed to the Board of Examiners for the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, in 1865. A friend, George Caleb Bingham painted Harris's portrait in 1837. An example of Bingham's early portraitures, its pose, background and technical treatment are characteristic of devices frequently employed by Bingham. Mrs. William Jackson Hendrick, a daughter of Harris, gave the painting to the State Historical Society in 1923. Bingham's great accuracy of detail and his ability to portray a vitality and individuality of his subjects are illustrated in this portrait of Mary Jane Royall Switzler. She was the wife of William F. Switzler, editor of the Columbia Missouri Statesman for some 43 years. Born July 31, 1820, in Halifax County, Virginia, Mary Jane was the daughter of John B. Royall and Mrs. William F. Switzler Pamela Price Royall. The family moved to Boone County, Missouri, in 1840, and Mary Jane and William F. Switzler were married three years later. An active member of the Presbyterian Church, Mrs. Switzler died, September 11,1879. Bingham painted this portrait of Mrs. Switzler in Columbia in 1845. It was privately owned by Switzler descendants until acquired by the Society in 1963 from Charles Collins, Louisiana, Missouri.
&<^+^r^<%s^^^+s^^, The first president of Columbia College, Thomas Miller came to Missouri in 1834. A native of Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he was born, March 7, 1811, Miller attended Washington College in Pennsylvania, Indiana University and Transylvania University Law School in Lexington, Kentucky. Following graduation in 1833, he assumed a teaching post at Transylvania. During his school years, Miller became a close friend and classmate of James S. Rollins. When Rollins returned to Missouri to practice law, he became secretary of the Board of Trustees for Columbia College, chartered in 1833. He recommended, for the position of president, his friend and former classmate, Thomas Miller. Miller served as president of the college, a forerunner of the University of Missouri, from 1834 to 1836. Because of failing health, he resigned to form a law partnership with Rollins. The two men also acquired the Missouri Intelligencer and Boon's Lick Ad vertiser newspaper and changed the name to the Columbia Patriot. In addition, Miller served as paymaster for the 1st Regiment, Missouri Mounted Volunteers in 1838, earning the title of colonel. Miller's health still did not improve so he deter mined to seek a drier climate in Santa Fe, New Mexico. On September 15, 1841, he died en route. Miller was the subject of George Caleb Bingham's only known miniature, painted about 1837, probably in Columbia. Owned by Rollins, the portrait became the property of C. B. Rollins and his daughter, Ruth Rollins Westfall. Mrs. Westfall gave it to the State Historical Society in 1961.
Thomas Miller James S. Shannon
A Disciples of Christ minister, James S. Shan non became the second president of the University of Missouri when inaugurated, July 4, 1850. A native of Ireland, Shannon was graduated with honor from the University of Belfast in 1821. Af ter immigrating to Georgia, Shannon taught at the University of Georgia and served as president of Louisiana College and Bacon College, Kentucky. In Missouri, Shannon assisted in the establishment of Christian College in Columbia and Christian University, now Culver-Stockton College, at Can ton. Because of his radical proslavery views, Shan non aroused the ire of politicians and sectarians. When the Missouri General Assembly passed an act in 1856 forbidding the university president to preach, Shannon resigned to become president of Christian University at Canton. Here he died, February 25,1859. Bingham probably executed this portrait while Shannon served as president of the University of Missouri. It was the first Bingham work acquired by the State Historical Society in 1915. Robert Eaton Acock
George Caleb Bingham probably executed this portrait of Robert Eaton Acock while Acock served in the Missouri legislature. A representative of Polk County, Acock held that office from 1838 to 1842 and from 1852 to 1856. He also served as state senator of the eighteenth district from 1842 to 1846. Born in North Carolina, probably in 1799, Acock emigrated to Missouri in the late 1830s. A large landowner and slaveholder, Acock became a delegate to the 1845 state constitutional convention, a member of the committee to locate the state insane asylum two years later and chair man of the 1860 Democratic state convention. He died, March 15,1861. The Ralph D. Churchill family of Dallas, Texas, presented this portrait to the State Historical Society in 1978.
:^%^^%y^%^y<%y^3^^c%y Watching the Cargo
Among the most significant paintings of Bingham's artistic career, this genre river landscape combines the artist's interest in portraying life in his day with a sen sitive and poetic approach. His subjects are watching over a cargo of freight taken from a grounded steamboat and placed on the bank of the Missouri River. Growing up in Missouri's Boone's Lick Country in the Missouri River towns of Old Franklin, Arrow Rock and Boonville, the artist encountered first hand the river scenes he portrayed in his genre paintings. Steamboat travel on the Missouri reached its heyday before the Civil War, a time when Bingham traveled extensively through Central Missouri to St. Louis and east to New York, Philadelphia and Washington,
The State Historical Society purchased the painting in 1927 from Miss Katherine Paine, Iowa City, Iowa. Scene on the Ohio
Signed and dated 1851, this landscape painting, Scene on the Ohio, is attributed to George Caleb Bingham. Executed before the artist left for study in Dusseldorf, Germany, it depicted the Ohio River near Cincinnati. A visitor to Bingham's Columbia studio mentioned seeing the work in 1851. Although little is known about the painting, it was exhibited in 1912 at the Memorial Museum in San Francisco. Once considered lost, the landscape was sold at the Bingham estate sale March 25, 1893, to Mrs. Joseph McCoy of Kansas City. Her nephew sold it to Mrs. Marie Collins of New York City, from whom the State Historical Society of Missouri pur chased it in 1946.
^<*^^<%^^<%^^%^#^^ ;y<*^^#^5^<5^<*=<*^ In May 1859, the St. Louis Mercantile Library com missioned George Caleb Bingham to paint the celebrated German scientist, explorer and natural philosopher, Baron von Humboldt. Born in Berlin, September 14, 1769, Baron Friedrich Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt explored South America, Russia and Siberia. He gained world-wide renown in the study of earth sciences and the science of ecology. His book, Kosmos, surveyed astronomy and earth Baron Von Humboldt sciences and contributed to the popularization of science. The noted scientist died May 6, 1859, shortly after Bingham received the commission for the por trait. After studying secondary sources, Bingham completed the painting in April 1860. Originally a life- size, full-length canvas, the painting was damaged in a fall from its frame. C. B. Rollins, Columbia, Missouri, acquired the work and trimmed it, and his daughter, Mrs. Ruth Rollins Westfall, presented it to the State Historical Society in 1952. ^<^^^*^5><^<^y<^^<^' George Caleb Bingham portrayed John Locke Hardeman with a serious countenance and prominent nose and chin, characteristics of the Hardeman family. Hardeman, at the time he sat for his portrait, was one of the most intelligent and successful farmers in Saline County. A. native of Williamson County, Tennessee, where he was born, July 27, 1809, he moved to Missouri in 1817 with his father, John Hardeman. They settled in Howard County where the elder Hardeman later established a beautiful ten-acre botanical garden, opposite the mouth of the Lamine River. J. Locke Hardeman's brother Dr. Glenn O. Hardeman, a prominent physician of Marshall, performed medical services for several members of the Bingham family. The Binghams and Hardemans remained long-time friends. J. Locke Hardeman moved to Saline County about 1830. Here he entered a large tract of land five miles from Arrow Rock. Becoming one of the leading hemp growers, he invented and patented a successful, labor-saving hemp breaking machine. In 1854 Hardeman served as a representative from Saline County in the Missouri General Assembly. His death occurred, July 31,1858. The present village of Hardeman is situated on land owned by Hardeman. The State Historical Society purchased this painting from Hardeman descendants in 1971. John Locke Hardeman Born near Danville, Virginia, January 19,1809, Thomas Lawson Price came to Missouri in 1829 and settled in Jefferson City. A successful merchant, trader and land speculator, he established the first stage line between St. Louis and Jefferson City in 1838. Eventually he con trolled a large part of the stage business in Missouri. A railroad promoter, Price's construction company built a large portion of the rail lines in the state before the Civil War. Elected in 1839, Price became the first mayor of Jefferson City. He entered politics in the 1840s as a Benton Democrat. In 1848, he was elected lieutenant governor; he served in the state legislature in 1860 and the U.S. Congress in 1862. During the Civil War, Price was appointed a general in charge of state troops. His death occurred, July 16,1870. Severely damaged by fire, this portrait remained in the Price family until 1977. Now restored, it was presented to the State Historical Society by Thomas Price Gibson of Lafayette, California. Thomas Lawson Price A half-nephew of Kit Carson, Colonel James Thomas Carson was born, April 25, 1831, near H Hid ale in Howard County, Missouri. He spent James Thomas Carson most of his life in that area except for three years in the 1850s when he journeyed to California. He married Lou S. Isaacs on November 1, 1864. A well-known area farmer, he also engaged in the mercantile business in Fayette and Rocheport. His death occurred January 26, 1911, in Fayette. Although this restored oil portrait is unsigned, its style and technique are typical of Bingham's work. :*<*^*<5^<*^<*^<*^^*y Albert Gallatin Newman Born in Staunton, Virginia, in 1808, Albert Gallatin Newman moved to Columbia, Missouri, in 1837. A tinner by trade, he established the Newman Hardware Store in 1843, and played an important role in civic affairs. In 1858, he was an unsuccessful Democratic nominee for the legislature, suffering defeat by only a few votes. Several years later, in 1870, he won election to the legislature. His death occurred, February 22, 1888. The State Historical Society acquired George Caleb Bingham's portrait of Newman in 1965 from Mrs. Arthur Newman, Columbia. Minerva Hays Newman Minerva Hays Newman, wife of Albert Gallatin Newman, was born in Wythe County, Virginia, July 27, 1818. She came to Boone County, Missouri, as a young girl. A faithful member of the Methodist Church, Columbia, she died, December 30, 1905. This portrait also was acquired by the State Historical Society from Mrs. Arthur Newman, Columbia. Joseph O. Shelby Confederate Cavalry General Joseph O. Shelby was a native of Kentucky. He came to Missouri about 1849 and engaged in the manufacture of hemp rope at Waverly. A proslavery man, he raised a company for participation in the Kansas- Missouri border conflict in the 1850s. By 1860, Shelby was considered a wealthy slave and landowner. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he joined the Confederacy and organized a cavalry unit, called the "Iron Brigade." Some regarded it as the best cavalry unit in the West. Shelby participated in such Civil War battles as Car thage, Wilson's Creek and Lexington. Refusing to surrender at the close of the war, he advanced to Mexico on an un successful colonizing venture, but returned to Missouri in 1867. Historians later credited him with contributing to end postwar hatreds in the state. Shelby conducted mining operations in Moniteau and Bates counties in 1885. Four years before his death in 1897, he was appointed U.S. Marshall for the Western District of Missouri. Bingham's portrait of Shelby was given to the Society by the general's grand son, JO Shelby Jersig of Clovis, New Mexico. It was unveiled at the Society's an nual meeting in 1970. Missouri's famous historical painting, Order No. 11, is George Caleb Bingham's answer to the military order of Union Brigadier General Thomas Ewing, issued August 25, 1863. Ewing, who commanded the District of the Border in Western Missouri, issued the order after the raid and massacre at Lawrence, Kansas, by Quantrill's Missouri guerrillas. It was devised to rid the border of Quantrill's men by removing the friendly population which supported and fed them. Under the provisions of the order, all citizens residing in Jackson, Cass, Bates and half of Vernon County had to leave their rural homes regardless of their guilt in aiding the guerrillas. The order, and the ruthless way it was enforced by Kansas Redleg soldiers, outraged Bingham, who was an ardent supporter of the Union and an officer in the State Militia. He protested to Ewing without success, and then reportedly said: "If you per sist in executing that order, I will make you infamous with pen and brush, as far as I am able." Bingham thus started a fierce feud with Ewing which lasted until his death. Bingham began the painting, called Civil War, on a wood panel. The panel split and the artist started the painting again on a linen tablecloth. Also called Martial Law, the work was finished and exhibited in 1868. Violent controversy immediately arose because of its attack upon U.S. Army policy. Critics claimed Bingham exaggerated and practiced false rhetoric and that the work lacked Bingham's best quality. Engravings of the work, published in 1872-1873, proved disappointing. As a settlement for his debt, Bingham gave the linen canvas to James S. Rollins, who had helped finance the engraving venture. The State Historical Society purchased the painting from the George Bingham Rollins family in 1945. Order Number 11 Major James S. Rollins, known as "Father of the University of Missouri," sat for por traits by his lifelong friend, George Caleb Bingham, in 1872-1873. A life-size portrait of Rollins burned in the university's academic hall fire in 1892. This Rollins bust remained in the family until it was presented to the State Historical Society by family descendants in September 1961. The son of Anthony Wayne and Sarah Rodes Rollins, James S. Rollins was born in Richmond, Kentucky, April 19, 1812. The elder Rollins moved to Missouri in 1829. James S. Rollins attended Richmond Academy, Ken tucky; Washington College, Pennsylvania; In diana University, Bloomington; and Tran sylvania Law School of Kentucky. After graduation in 1834, Rollins practiced law in Columbia, Missouri, and edited the Whig newspaper, the Columbia Patriot. Elected to the state legislature in 1838, Rollins introduced a bill to establish a state university. Through his leadership, Boone Countians raised funds for the location of the university in Columbia. From 1838 to 1856, Rollins served as state representative and state senator; he served two terms as U.S. congressman in 1860 and 1862; and again was elected state representative in 1866 and state senator in 1868 and 1870. Through the years Rollins guided legislation favorable to the University of Missouri and other education in stitutions. A member of the University Board of Curators, he served as president of that body from 1869 to 1886. Because of his efforts for the university, the board of curators declared him, "Father of the University," in 1872. James S. Rollins met George Caleb Bingham in 1834 and their friendship continued until Bingham's death in 1879. Bingham made long James S. Rollins visits to the Rollins home where he painted por traits of family members. Rollins loaned the artist money to further his career and to fi nance the printing of his works. Rollins died in Columbia, January 9,1888. r^^^^^^*^^^*^^ under whom she began to study k Mllls' a fa™ous sculptor a comestt o r Mrrr tcrsrurr co —* • •**. ^ J"^»^t5asai=tt The statne'ded= *- «*.

Vinnie Ream Mr. Bingham's Tombstone BY JEAN TYREE HAMILTON* Martha Lykins Bingham had been married a little more than a year, when the death of her husband encumbered her with a multi tude of problems, not the least of which was the selection of a suitable marker for the grave of Missouri's famous artist, George Caleb Bing ham. After Bingham's death on July 7, 1879, his widow shouldered responsibilities that might have overwhelmed a less strong-willed per son. Fortunately, Bingham had chosen as his third wife a woman of iron principles, with an impressive capacity for making her own de- *Jean Tyree Hamilton, Marshall, serves as vice president of the Friends of Arrow Rock and is active in historic preservation and museum circles.

During the Civil War, she had defied her Unionist husband, Dr. Johnston Lykins of Kansas City, and suffered exile in Clay County for her rabid rebel sympathies. After the war, she returned to Kansas City, where she established a home for Confederate or phans.1 Her 1878 wedding to George Caleb Bingham was one of the outstanding events of the Kansas City season.2 A year later, she be came heiress to a marvelous artistic legacy and a host of legal entan glements. She also became guardian to Rollins Bingham, George's son by his first marriage. In the period just after her husband's death, her personal correspondence expressed genuine solicitude for Rollins. The care and tutelage of young people were not novelties to Martha Bingham, called "Mattie". She continued to serve as principal of Lykins Institute, her orphanage at 32nd and Locust streets. Rollins lived with her at the Institute while he studied law.3 The optimistic Mrs. Bingham hoped that Rollins's legal training would enable him to assist her with land title disputes, which, though not of her late husband's making, continued to haunt her after his death. George's older brother Matthias Bingham had traveled to Texas in 1836 to fight for independence. He remained there, became a large landowner, and died unmarried in January 1861. After George's death, litigation over some of Matthias's landholdings remained un settled.4 In 1881, Mrs. Bingham predicted that Rollins, who would 1 George Fuller Green, A Condensed History of the Kansas City Area (Kansas City, Mo., 1968), 44. 2 Kansas City Times, June 19, 1878. 3 Bingham's youngest child and only surviving son was named for James S.

Henry Vest Bingham, Jr., George's younger brother, at Matthias's urging, had taken his tubercular wife, Sarah, and daughters to Texas in hope of finding better health for her. There he became a part of his brother's business involvements. In the summer of 1849 while on a visit to Arrow Rock, his wife and three little girls all died of cholera in a matter of days. They were buried in Arrow Rock Cemetery near where George and Henry's mother would be buried in 1851. The next year, Henry married Lamenda McMahan.

Without the artist's help and guidance, she faced decisions about the disposition of these art properties. Many of these works remained in her possession until the time of her death, when proceeds from their sale at auction went to the Confederate Soldiers Home at Higginsville, Missouri.6 Another duty of equal importance to Mrs. Bingham was the selection of a stone for her husband's grave in Union Cemetery in Kansas City. Naturally, she was anxious to erect a fitting memorial to the distinguished artist. Finally, she reached a decision, and fortunately, her wishes could be carried out by a member of her own family. She wrote happily to Louisa Bingham Neff, George's niece, on July 6, 1881: 909 McGee Street Kansas City, Mo., July 6th, 1881 Mrs. Dr. Neff- My dear Ne/ce- I drop you a line in haste this morning to say that I am now having work done on a monument for your Uncle George's grave. Mr. Campbell, who married a ne/ce of mine drew the design & will sculpture a medallion bust of Gen Bingham for the monument. Mr. Campbell is a fine designer and sculptor. I submitted the design he drew for your uncle's monument to Maj Rollins7 who was much pleased with it. He pronounced it in perfect taste. The monument will be over 11 feet high surmounted by an urn with palette, brushes, etc. The sculpturing will be done in the shops here under the direction and super vision of Mr. Campbell.8 A story copied in the Marshall Democrat-News, February 1, 5 On December 8, she wrote: "I meant to write to Dr. Neff before he left [for Texas] in regard to the land . . .

Yet his monument is unique and should attract the atten tion of the most careless observer. It is a large shaft of gray stone and its distinguishing feature is the head and bust of the artist which are carved in stone in the center ... it represents an early day medallion with a carved frame, the head and bust being embossed and extending out one-half inch from the surface. Above the head shows a palette and brushes, also embossed on the stone, which represent the chosen profession of the man.9 After Martha Bingham's death in 1893, the Lykins Institute continued to serve the community as the home of the Little Sisters 9 Kansas City Journal-Post, January 29, 1928.

Even as the fame of the artist grew, Kansas Citians seemed to forget that his body lay buried in the center of their city. Union Cemetery, lost in the downtown area, became unkempt. In 1963, the Friends of Arrow Rock, Inc.,11 an organization dedicated to the preservation and restoration of that Missouri village, learned with sorrow that Bingham's tombstone in Union Cemetery had deteriorated. Vandals had broken the nose off the medallion bust. The cemetery itself was not well kept. Many dead elms remained standing. The organization desired to honor Bingham and move his remains to the yard of the house (located in Arrow Rock State Park) he had built for his first wife. The Friends also wanted to erect a shrine where he could receive the respect and acclaim he deserved. To accomplish this, the Friends petitioned the City Council of Kansas City on June 21, 1963.12 Understandably cool to the idea, Mayor Ilus Davis of Kansas City suggested that people interested in Kansas City's history be notified of the proposal.13 A hearing was set for July 11, 1963, and reported in the Kansas City Times on July 12. The Missouri State Park Board had agreed to accept the body of Bingham if the Friends obtained removal permission.14 The Friends of Arrow Rock had substantial reasons for request ing to move the grave site. Many Missourians identify Arrow Rock as "Bingham Country."15 In 1824, after his father's death, George's mother brought her family to the small farm in Saline County. To support her children, she opened a school on her farm,16 which lay 10 1976 Kansas City City Directory (Kansas City, [1976]), 550, and Green, Con densed History of the Kansas City Area, 44. 11 Founded in 1959, the Friends of Arrow Rock, Inc., has purchased, restored and maintains the I.O.O.F.

Obviously his family lived in his mother's household which the census taker titled in George's name.24 In 1963, twenty-two next of kin still lived in the Arrow Rock vicinity. They, along with six Texas relatives, signed a request addressed to the Kansas City City Council for Bingham's removal back to Arrow Rock.25 The effort by the Friends of Arrow Rock failed in its specific purpose, but succeeded in drawing attention to Bingham's neglected monument. The Friends withdrew their request for removal of the grave on July 16 because of the surge of Kansas City opposition.26 Suddenly the people of Kansas City took an interest not only in the restoration of Bingham's monument but in all of Union Cem etery. A number of feature articles, editorials and letters in the Kansas City newspapers proclaimed the importance of, and suggested plans for the improvement of, the historic cemetery.27 Historically minded people appeared before the council and objected to the re moval. Twelve hundred citizens signed a petition opposing removal.28 On July 11, the Kansas City Times editorialized on "THE GREAT POTENTIAL OF UNION CEMETERY": The Friends of Arrow Rock, an organization dedicated to the improvement of that state park [sic] probably won't get the remains of George Caleb Bingham. The famous Missouri artist is likely to stay buried in Kansas City's Union Cemetery. Nevertheless the editorial applauded the efforts of the Arrow Rock people. Their suggestion had created "local interest and pride" not only in the fact that Bingham's grave was in Kansas City, but in the Union Cemetery itself. Perhaps a "Friends of Union Cem etery" would be created from the interest. After all, the editorial continued, the cemetery included impressive monuments and historic headstones that related to prominent early Kansas City families.

It urged that new trees be planted. With alarm, it observed that inscriptions on many of the old headstones had faded. Since fire had destroyed all cemetery records prior to 1889, the writer warned that, without immediate action, valuable headstone data would be lost. Other more extensive improvements, though highly desirable, could take place more gradually. Ultimately, it was en visioned that "an impressive tree-lined entranceway from Main Street" would lead to a cemetery that would become one of the great historical and cultural attractions of the city.29 Although the Friends withdrew its request to remove Bingham's remains from Union Cemetery, the editors of the Times continued to pursue the Union Cemetery cause. On July 23, an editorial noted that Bingham's grave, in particular, was not in "the best possible condition." The nose was smashed on the bas-relief of the artist's head and the inscription was virtually unreadable. Additionally, the "semi-isolation" of the cemetery kept it from public view. The editorial declared the cemetery a scenic spot but hardly anyone knew of it. The interest of Kansas Citians in Bingham's grave, the Times continued, hopefully would not dissipate: "After the interest stirred by the Arrow Rock organization, it would be sad if Kansas City again forgot about the cemetery. . . ."30 Later articles proved that the cemetery, no longer forgotten, had been improved. Many tombstones, including Bingham's, were re stored. Several feature stories resulted, especially at the annual ob servance of Memorial Day.31 The efforts of the Friends of Arrow Rock failed in moving the grave site, but succeeded in getting the grave and memorial stone of George Caleb Bingham restored and properly respected. As Mrs. David F. Eads, then president of the Friends of Arrow Rock re marked, "We lost the Battle but we won the War. Retreat," said Mrs. Eads, "is not always defeat."32 That saying, "Retreat is not always defeat," applies most emphatically to the memory of Martha Lykins Bingham, whose monument to her husband has regained its dignity. 29 Ibid., July 11, 1963.

Library, Western Hist. Dept. John S. Jones: Farmer, Freighter, Frontier Promoter BY WILLIAM B. CLAYCOMB* John S. Jones played a significant role in the early transportation history of Missouri and the West, especially in Kansas and Colorado territories. Today, however, only passing references exist about Jones in books pertaining to transportation on the frontier. Yet he earned more than just a footnote in American history and deserves more recognition than has been his fortune. Some of his schemes as an am bitious frontier promoter were as financially reckless and impetuous •William B. Claycomb is a real estate broker in Sedalia. He has the B. S. degree in Public Administration from the University of Missouri-Columbia. 434 John S. Jones 435 as those of his legendary sometime partner, William H. Russell. He possessed more imagination than administrative ability. Also an in novative man, he had a talent for recognizing opportunity and the courage to develop it. Historians remember him for his trailblazing freighting activities on the Great Plains and beyond as well as his part in organizing the Pony Express. However, his pioneer work in Colorado Territory is forgotten. John Stycks Jones was born in Lexington, Kentucky, on May 20, 1811, and educated in his native state.1 His parents were natives of Virginia and his father died at an early age.2 When a young man, Jones moved to Natchez, Mississippi, where he became the manager of "Deer Park," a plantation belonging to Jefferson Davis in Adams County. Little is known of Jones's years with Jefferson Davis except that in 1841 he married Davis's cousin, Sophia Susan Neff. The daughter of Louisa Davis Neff, Sophia was born February 15, 1824, in Natchez.3 On January 5, 1843, Jones entered into an indenture with Abner Clopton, Jr., of Pettis County, Missouri, for the purchase of 378 acres of land. Located in north central Pettis County two miles south west of Longwood, the land was then occupied by Jesse Crump and Elizabeth M. Grinstead. The contract called for a $500 down pay ment, $500 to be paid on March 1, 1844, $500 on March 1, 1845, and $1,034.33 on March 1, 1846. John S. and Sophia S. Jones received a warranty deed to this property from Abner and Margaret Fristoe Clopton on January 1, 1845.4 How Jones met Clopton, a Kentuckian who had come to Pettis County in 1835, remains a matter of speculation. The Joneses left Mississippi for Kentucky in 1843 with their first child, Mary Louise, and eventually arrived at Longwood in 1845. They settled in the log house previously occupied by Jesse C. Grin- stead and his wife. Why Jones left Mississippi when he did remains unknown. Coincidently, Davis started to participate in Mississippi politics in 1843. He had changed from a reclusive and rather ailing planter to a dynamic politician. Jones simply may have found himself without a job at the age of 32 with a new family to support. For a man who may have had pretensions of becoming a "planter" himself, 1 History of Colorado (Denver, 1927), V, 550. 2 History of Pettis County, Missouri (n.p., 1882), 847. 3 Denver [Colorado] Rocky Mountain News, February 26, 1903, and death cer tificate of Sophia S.

Jones west central Missouri appeared as the land of opportunity at the time, with inexpensive, plentiful and fertile land.5 Jones's younger brother, Charles O. Jones (1814-1890), ac companied him to Missouri as his associate. Charles lived on a small farm a half mile west of John's home. Charles worked with his brother for many years, but never as his business partner. John S. Jones immediately commenced farming, raising livestock and buying and selling Pettis County land south and west of Longwood. He purchased 1,944 acres directly west of his homeplace in the early 1850s by buying military land grants assigned to him by veterans of the Mexican War.6 He disposed of most of the military land grant acreage but constantly added to his original 378 acres until he owned 2,200 acres surrounding his home.7 He named his farm 5 Denver Rocky Mountain News, February 26, 1903; U.S. Census, 7th Report, 1850, "Pettis County, Missouri"; Dorothy J. Caldwell, ed., Missouri Historic Sites Catalogue (Columbia, Mo., 1963), 122-123. According to the 1850 slave census for Pettis County, Jones owned 15 slaves ranging in age from seven months to 30 years, ten of whom were males. By 1860 his slave holdings had increased to 32, including 20 males. The ages ranged from one month to 46 years.

In the 1840s he built a handsome twelve-room frame house around the Grinsteads' log cabin. He designed the two-story house in a frontier Greek Revival style popular among the wealthy Missouri River Valley landowners in the two decades before the Civil War. Jones had the two-story portico with pediment and second floor balcony recessed into the front of the house, instead of being extended in the more common practice. Situated high on the gentle western slope of a hill above Greer Branch and surrounded by a large yard and tree-filled parks for deer and buffalo, it became a Pettis County showplace.8 Despite the extensive tracts of timber on Deer Park, it contained highly productive prairie and creek bottom land. Con sequently, Jones became one of the best-known large farmers and stockmen in Pettis County. According to the 1850 agricultural census for Pettis County, Jones owned in excess of $11,000 worth of livestock, most of it oxen. An inventory valued his wheat, corn and oats on hand at $4,200.9 Jones soon turned his farming operations over to his wife and Ed mund Bacon, his brother Charles's bachelor brother-in-law, who had come to Missouri with the Jones brothers. John then focused his own attentions on freighting to the West and Southwest. The United States recently had acquired vast territories as a result of the Mexican War. If contracts could be obtained from the government, companies might realize large profits by freighting supplies to military posts. One of Jones's first freighting partners was George R. Smith of Georgetown, Missouri. In 1848-1849, Smith and Jones subcontracted for Jabez Smith & Company of Independence, Missouri.10 Smith became the first in a series of flamboyant, and not always practical, business partners. On May 5, 1849, Jones joined Missourian William H. Russell of Lexington and Pettis Countian James Brown in the partnership of Brown, Russell & Company.11 Previously, in May 1848, Jones and Smith had been two of the three sureties on Brown's 8 History of Colorado, V, 550.

The latter had contracted to transport 200,000 pounds of government supplies from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to Santa Fe, New Mexico, for $11.75 per 100 pounds.12 On March 5, 1850, Brown and Jones obtained a contract to freight government supplies from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Hall, Idaho, at a rate of $14.15 per 100 pounds.13 The St. Joseph Gazette, on March 15, reported that, Mr. John S. Jones of Georgetown, Missouri, advertises in "Boonville Democrat" to take 80 persons through to California if they will drive a team from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Hall. . . and after arriving at that post [Jones] will proceed to California with Empty Wagons.

Jones 439 Laramie, since Fort Hall recently had been abandoned. It arrived at Fort Laramie before July 10. Each teamster received $20 per month for his services.14 On September 4, 1850, the firm of Brown, Russell & Company received a War Department contract to transport three hundred tons of supplies from Fort Leavenworth to Santa Fe at $286.67 per ton. The rate was high but the trip involved great risk and investment in wagons and oxen. Company officials needed 135 wagons and more than 1,600 oxen for the shipment. Senior partner James Brown divided the two-and-a-half-mile-long-train into five caravans. Brown took personal charge of the advance caravan with Charles O. Jones acting as his assistant. The first train left Fort Leavenworth on Sep tember 14, 1850, and the last one departed, October 2.15 On November 25, a blizzard struck Brown's thirty-wagon caravan. Within forty-five miles of Santa Fe, it became snowbound. Brown got through to Santa Fe on horseback but died of typhoid fever on December 5, leaving the inexperienced Charles Jones in charge of the snowbound wagon train. Under army ultimatum, Jones "forced marched" the train through to Santa Fe. Arriving in December, he in curred a debt of $14,000 for feed and oxen replacements. The rear portions of the original wagon train arrived later in Santa Fe without incident. According to Russell the venture lost $39,800, and he prompt- 14 Barry, Beginning of the West, 902-942. 15 Ibid., 964-965; Moody, Stagecoach West, 140-141.

(stipulating) that claims allowed should total not more than $38,800." In 1851, Jones and Russell continued freighting military supplies for the government to forts in Kansas and New Mexico under the name of Jones & Russell. They dissolved the partnership upon com pletion of their contracts in 1852.16 John Jones, like James Brown before him, personally led many of the expeditions on the plains. His partners, Smith and Russell, never left the relative safety and comfort of Missouri. Jones made his headquarters at Longwood and pastured as many as 2,000 horses and mules in the vicinity.17 During the 1850s, he con tinued freighting across the plains from Westport Landing to Utah and beyond. In the spring of 1858, he joined his neighbor, Dr. Joseph L. Cartwright of Pettis County's Heath Creek Township, in the firm of Cartwright and Jones. Emigrating from his native Kentucky in 1854, Dr. Cartwright (1825-1888) lived on a thousand-acre farm, three miles east of Deer Park. He had practiced medicine as a young man, but at the age of thirty he started freighting and farming. In their first contract, Cartwright and Jones freighted government supplies to Camp Floyd, forty miles west of Salt Lake City, and then drove their cattle on to California where they disposed of them. In 1859, Cart wright and Jones began freighting to the Colorado Territory area that soon became Denver. The town's promoters offered the partners seventy-five lots and five acres if they would locate their firm in Den ver. Jones and Cartwright accepted the offer and erected the first brick business building in that city. On the five acres they corralled their cattle and built a large commission and grocery house on their west-side Denver lots.18 Business proved good and Jones advertised that he was prepared to send "fifty trains of twenty-five wagons each from Westport, Missouri, or Atchison, Kansas, to Denver. ... "19 He and Cartwright placed 500 wagons on the road that year. Denver was booming in 1859 because of the discovery of gold. Speculators expected a great influx of people in the rush to Pike's Peak. Late in 1858 Jones had foreseen the need of transportation from the Missouri River above Westport to the Denver area to ac commodate the anticipated prospectors and settlers. While lobbying 16 Ibid., 141; Barry, Beginning of the West, 965. 17 W. A.

Russell. Despite little evidence of either substantial gold deposits or of potential permanent settlement, Jones and Russell anticipated the future demand for trans portation service to the Denver area, and they concocted the idea of an overland stage line to the mines. Characteristically, Russell did not consult his conservative partners when he and Jones organized the Leavenworth and Pike's Peak Express Company. Each invested $20,000 in cash.20 The Leavenworth & Pike's Peak Express Co. became the first overland stage company in the Great Plains states. Russell served as president, and his son John, secretary. The company appointed John S. Jones as general manager. Other partners included Benjamin F. Ficklin and Luther R. Smoot, Russell's banking partner in Smoot, Russell and Company. Using the credit of the Russell, Majors and Waddell firm, Russell and Jones ordered 52 Concord stagecoaches at a cost of $100,000 and sent buyers to look for 800 of the best mules available. Meanwhile, Jones opened a "lavish" office in Leavenworth and hired Colonel William Preston to survey the short est stage route to Denver across northern Kansas and eastern Colorado.21 They established twenty-five stations "between Leaven worth and Denver . . . equipped, and provisioned; arrangements were made to supply the stations the year round; . . . and a large number of employees—drivers, stock tenders, and station keepers—were put on the payroll."22 The distance of the route totaled 687 miles, and Jones and Russell proposed to cover it in ten days. A fare of $125 included meals and accommodations en route. In all, the officials spent nearly a quarter of a million dollars, mostly borrowed, in organizing the Leavenworth & Pike's Peak Express Co. While Russell worked in the East distributing publicity and raising money, two areas in which he excelled, Jones prepared for the opening of operations. Shipped from the Abbot-Downing Company of Concord, New Hampshire, the red Concord stagecoaches arrived by Missouri River steamboat on April 17, 1859. The following day, the first pair of stagecoaches left for Denver. Although the first trip required 19 days, the time was soon cut to six or seven days.23 A week before the Leavenworth & Pike's Peak Express Co. start ed operations, Russell and Jones purchased the mail contract and equipment of John M. Hockaday & Co. for a bonus of $50,000. The 20 David B.

Jones and Russell hoped to save money by carrying the mail as far as Denver on their established short cut route. The government, however, in sisted on the more expensive contract route north over the Oregon Trail. In June, the company changed to the longer route as specified in the contract. Company officials combined the two routes as far as Julesburg on the South Platte River in extreme northeastern Colorado. There the mail, carried as a private enterprise, and the Den ver passengers were transferred to another stagecoach and sent to the southwest. The regular run to Salt Lake City required ten days from Leavenworth.24 Horace Greeley rode on the last stagecoach to Denver over the original route. He arrived there on June 7. The management had given him free passage in hopes of obtaining favorable publicity in his newspaper, The New York Tribune. Results were somewhat mixed. Greeley revived interest in the flagging gold rush with his entertaining dispatches to the East, thereby helping the transportation business; however, his references to Russell proved embarrassing, because he implied chicanery between Russell, his congressional friends and the War Department.25 An equally disconcerting accident occurred when 24 March, History of Missouri, I, 799.

Jones 443 Alexander Majors Greeley's stagecoach overturned in a gully. Though he received pain ful injuries, he did not complain. By October 1859, the Leavenworth & Pike's Peak Express Co. had two competitors and it cut fares. With the tremendous overhead ex pense of $1,000 a day, the express line no longer proved profitable. Behind $10,000 with its payroll, the firm also owed creditors $525,532 on short term notes. Unable to borrow any more money, the Leaven worth & Pike's Peak Express Co., after six months in business, for all practical purposes, was bankrupt. Owing $190,000 to one of its major creditors, the Leavenworth & Pike's Peak Express Co. was absorbed by Russell, Majors & Waddell on October 28, 1859. That firm took the action to prevent further damage to its own credit. Russell's partners, Alexander Majors and William Waddell, hoped to prevent a worse financial disaster by obtaining a profitable mail contract from the Post Office Department to carry the mail to Denver.26 The department granted mail service to Denver on August 29, 1860, but Russell, Majors & Waddell did not secure the contract. The Western Stage 26 Ibid., 175-176. 444 Missouri Historical Review Company received the contract and Russell, Majors & Waddell never fully recovered from the blow.27 On his way to Denver that summer Horace Greeley had described the impressive firm of Russell, Majors & Waddell as, ... the great feature of Leavenworth. Such acres of wagons! such pyramids of extra axletrees! such herds of oxen! such regiments of drivers and other employees! No one who does not see can realize how vast a business this is, nor how immense are its outlays as well as its income. I presume this great firm has at this hour two millions of dollars invested in stock, mainly oxen, mules and wagons. (They last year employed six thousand teamsters, and worked forty-five thousand oxen.)28 At its height of business, the firm of Russell, Majors & Waddell en joyed a virtual monopoly in western freighting for years. On October 28, 1859, businessmen organized the Central Overland California and Pike's Peak Express Company with Majors, Waddell, Jones, Russell and his son, as the original stockholders. Capitalized at $200,000, the company issued forty shares of stock. Majors purchased two, Waddell two, William Russell thirty, John Russell two and Jones four. Jones was named superintendent, William Russell president and John Russell secretary. The sanguine Russell immediately went East to sell most of his thirty shares at $5,000 apiece.29 Chartered under the laws of Kansas Territory, the new organization hoped to receive a lucrative contract to provide daily mail service over a "central route" to San Francisco, California. John Butterfield's 2,700-mile-long "southern route" from Tipton, Missouri, to San Francisco had been in operation since September 16, 1858, but required 23 or 24 grueling days.30 The route also transversed several increasingly hostile southern states. To solicit business, the COC&PPExCo. opened offices in St. Joseph, St. Louis, Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C. The company planned to deliver the mail by "Pony Express." Who ac tually conceived this method remains unknown. Jones, however, had not accompanied Russell to Washington to lobby Congress; and, no evidence exists that Jones originated the "Pony Express" idea. Whether California Senator William Gwin, Russell or others first suggested the scheme, Russell and Jones implemented it under the auspices of the COC&PPExCo. Operations began April 3, 1860, from 27 Ibid., 189. 28 Greeley, Overland Journey, 47-48. 29 Moody, Stagecoach West, 175-176. 30 March, History of Missouri, I, 795-796, 800. John S.

Meanwhile, Jones had been replaced by Benjamin Ficklin as route superintendent, possibly because he (Jones) was "... a promoter, not an operator. . . ."31 Another historian described him more favorably as "... a shrewd practical man of affairs, who made up for his lack of education by his hard common sense and his in timate acquaintance with frontier life."32 Regardless of his character, Jones and his partners predicted exactly what the Pony Express would do up to the day operations ceased, October 26, 1861.

The enterprise lost money heavily from the first. However, the newly completed trans continental telegraph system made it obsolete, and the national disruption caused by the Civil War assured its collapse. Jones per formed his last service for the Pony Express in April 1861. At that time he went to Denver to tell the citizens that the route would be moved south through the city if they would defray the costs of the change. Some expressed enthusiasm for the idea, but by October the plan became irrelevant. Not long before the Pony Express operations of the COC&PPEx Co. ceased, Bela M. Hughes succeeded Russell as president of the firm. Jones remained on the board of directors. The COC&PPExCo. later was sold to Ben Holladay, its largest creditor, and became known as the Overland Stage Company. Holladay sold out to Wells, Fargo and Company in late 1866.33 The Pony Express venture proved a financial disaster for all of the partners, including Jones. On May 22, 1861, the Boone County, Missouri, Circuit Court rendered judgment against Jones in favor of the Exchange Bank of St. Louis. The amount of $11,264.13 would have been a relatively small sum for Jones to pay in his more suc cessful days. At this time he did not have the money and, more im portantly, he could not raise it. Deer Park was to be auctioned to satisfy this judgment. Not until May 5, 1864, however, did Pettis County Sheriff John Hubbard execute the judgment. Major William Gentry of Cedar Township, Pettis County, bought Jones's farm for the nominal sum of $5,000.34 Jones abandoned Deer Park to his creditors and took his family to Colorado in 1861.

Jones 447 pathizer in a dangerously divided county, Jones probably had more than one reason for leaving Missouri. In 1862 a wealthy slaveowning neighbor, William H. Field, was taken from his home, "Eldon," and executed by Union soldiers for suspected Southern sympathy. Eldon stood less than two miles due west of Deer Park.35 Other Southern men and their families in northern Pettis County fled the county or remained to be intimidated by the Union sympathizers. Because of their relation to Jefferson Davis, the Jones family would have been a prime target for harassment and suspicion. Already bankrupt, Jones had nothing to lose by leaving the state. Yet, Jones and his family must have regretted leaving Deer Park. Over forty years later Sophia Jones's obituary mentioned that at Deer Park she "spent the best and happiest part of her life, devoting herself to her husband and children and making many lasting friends."36 They had been active in Longwood Township for more than sixteen years. There, they had reared four children (Mary Louise, James, Lillie and Florence) and had buried four-year-old Charles, in 1848.37 Edmund Bacon (1800-1855) also died and was buried at Deer Park. The Joneses had become active members of the Union Christian Church near Longwood. On April 23, 1854, Jones had helped orga nize the Potter Lodge #84 of A. F. and A. M. and had given it two and a half acres on March 9, 1861, shortly before his final departure for Colorado.38 Besides his affiliations, he left behind brother Charles and his family.39 Jones probably was optimistic about Colorado's future, as well as his own. The necessity to start over again at the age of fifty ap parently did not discourage him. Upon his arrival in Colorado, he immediately became active in the commercial, agricultural and social life of the territory. In 1861, he became one of the original founders and governors of the University of Colorado at Boulder.40 The institution, however, did not prove a reality until fifteen years later.

He lost his "entire herd of thin cattle" in the severe winter of 1865.42 Late in the 1860s he raised hay and pota toes on a farm at the mouth of the Blue River.43 Jones also owned a mill and did some mining at Empire with his son-in-law, Curtis H. Field. But despite farming and other business activities, freighting ap parently remained his first love. In June 1866, Jones proposed to con struct the first road over the Rocky Mountains. At the head of Clear Creek, he crossed the Continental Divide over the 12,453 foot pass named for him. According to his estimate it required 25 men 60 days to build the Jones Pass Road at a cost of $8,000.44 The road was com pleted that summer, and reportedly, Jones's Colorado and California Wagon Road Company managed to take wagons across it only once. Evidently, the road proved unfeasible for wagon traffic. Ranchers, 41 Denver Rocky Mountain News, June 23, 1866. 42 M.

Jones 449 however, drove their livestock over the road until it again became im passable.45 Jones accomplished other feats and projects. Prior to building his Jones Pass Road, he had taken seven loaded freight wagons across Breckenridge Pass. He traveled from South Park to Blue River in the winter of 1865-1866 through snowdrifts twenty-five feet deep with the temperature from zero to twenty below.46 On February 8, 1870, Jones submitted a proposition to the Kansas Pacific Railway Company to grade forty miles of railroad right-of-way, starting at Denver. The company accepted his offer. Denver's first railroad, a Union Pacific branch from Cheyenne, Wyoming, was completed in June 1870. Jones completed the Kansas Pacific line shortly thereafter.47 In the early 1870s Jones lived at Littleton, near Denver, where he sold coal, pine wood, fuel, feed and sugar beets. He became an officer of the Denver Board of Trade, owned warehouse facilities, dealt in work oxen, and still engaged in freighting. The only record of his par ticipation in politics revealed that in the summer of 1874 he was Jef ferson County's delegate to the Territorial Convention at Colorado Springs.48 45 McMechen, The Moffat Tunnel of Colorado (1927), passim.

Jones died at Boulder on July 11, 1876, aged 65. He had contracted an illness on July 4 "while marching with the pioneers."49 He was buried in Denver and his widow later was buried beside him. Jones's death occurred less than three weeks before Colorado was ad mitted to the Union on August 1, 1876. "Reverses" had come in 1868, but he ". . . eventually became wealthy once more," although his financial condition at the time of his death remains unknown. Fifty years later one historian wrote that "He was a man of the strictest integrity and believed in the integrity of those about him. He was generous and charitable and gave away enough to have insured his comfort in his old age."50 Implicit in the latter sentence is the hint that he may have died short of cash. John S. Jones had played significant roles in several states. He had been closely connected to the Jefferson Davis family in Mississip pi. He had been successful in Missouri, if only through his pioneering of freighting and transportation from that state to the developing West. In Colorado he had been an early settler who helped lay the foundation for that state's eventual admission to the Union. While his business record appears checkered and his judgment sometimes questionable, Jones ranks high among the pioneer Western freighters. Only William H. Russell matched him in imagination and none of them exceeded his energy and personal courage. ' Ibid., February 26, 1903. Sophia Jones died on February 25, 1903, in Denver.

Julius Strauss and the Art of Photography BY BONNIE WRIGHT* At the turn of the century, Julius Strauss was not only the foremost photographer of St. Louis, but an internationally renowned craftsman, famous for his photographic portraits. Among the first photographers to treat his profession as one of the arts,1 Strauss lavished upon each of his portraits the meticulous care and personal involvement that made his imprint a stamp of quality. His lifelong motto was "Get results!"2 But "results" did not satisfy him unless they conformed to his high standards of excellence. If his name no •Bonnie Wright is an acquisitions specialist at the State Historical Society of Mis souri.

In 1903, Strauss engaged in a verbal battle with the New York photographer Alfred Stieglitz over the future of photography as an art form. Although, on the surface, the quarrel involved a petty disagreement over the organization of a proposed exhibit at the St. Louis World's Fair, the implications of the dispute affected the definition of photography as a fine art and the nature of artistic photography in the twentieth century. The immediate result of the tiff was the withdrawal of Stieglitz and his associates in the "Photo- secession" movement from the proposed exhibit at the fair.3 In the long run, however, Stieglitz became the dominant influence in modern pictorial photography, while Strauss's methods, style and reputation went into eclipse. Julius Strauss began his career in the days of huge, box-like por trait cameras and glass plate negatives, when exposure took several minutes. The bulkiness of the camera made photography difficult out side a studio, and the length of the exposure time made the idea of a "candid" shot absurd. Over the years, Strauss adapted his methods to improvements in photographic technology. When he photographed a statue in the dimly lit lobby of the Planters' Hotel in St. Louis, he became one of the first photographers to experiment successfully with normal room lighting.4 Later, he took his camera to the homes of his clients, who posed for portraits in their accustomed surroundings.5 In spite of his willingness to experiment with lighting and backgrounds, however, Strauss never abandoned the idea of the rigidly posed and formal portrait. Throughout his career he indulged in the common nineteenth-century practice of painting artificial backgrounds into his pictures.6 It was Stieglitz of New York, and not Strauss of St. Louis, who first took advantage of light hand-held cameras and shorter exposure times to capture the fleeting images of action and reality in everyday life.7 Ultimately, this would be the cause of Stieglitz's ascendancy and Strauss's decline. At the time of his initial confrontation with Stieglitz, Strauss en- 3 Sarah E.

In an era in which amateur photographers were becoming legion, every production of the Strauss studio bore the stamp of exquisite crafts manship. In order to avoid the stigma of the snapshot, Strauss made every effort in the early twentieth century to make his photographs resemble paintings. His very success in this endeavor helped to bring about the clash with Stieglitz and the eventual decline of Strauss's reputation. Strauss's virtuosity was his glory and, at the same time, his downfall. The son of a Bavarian-born tailor, Strauss exemplified the nineteenth-century ideal of the self-made man. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1857, Strauss came from a family of tradesmen and working people. His elder brother Louis began working as a machinist while 454 Missouri Historical Review still in his teens.8 By the age of nineteen, Julius apparently had left home. In 1876, he entered St. Louis by sneaking past the toll gate on the Eads Bridge. He had no money with which to pay the toll. His first meal in the city consisted of dry herring and crackers. He found his first employment as an assistant to a "seedy" photographer on Fourth Street.9 Within four years of this inauspicious beginning, Strauss established his own studio on Franklin Avenue. In the 1890s he built a new and elegant gallery near Grand Avenue that became one of the showplaces of the city. By the turn of the century, he had become "the" photographer of St. Louis society. A Strauss portrait became a symbol of status. Through all the progress and change of forty suc cessful years, Strauss remained a genial and self-reliant fellow, better at listening than talking, a lover of good fellowship and good beer, a dedicated artist and a canny businessman. Essayist and poet Sadakichi Hartmann described Strauss as "tall and brusque, with hair that curls, and eyes that twinkle ironically, the sort of a man that women look at regardfully."10 Apparently Strauss had an engaging way with women that blended well with his professional perfectionism. "No, no, it is not right," he would say to a female client. "You are prettier, yes. Come back tomorrow and I will make a picture of you. I get results. I get results."11 Strauss tried always to capture the essential character of his sub jects. In doing so, he employed the methods of the traditional portrait painter, carefully posing his subjects and often requiring long, tedious sittings. Shortened exposure times, apparently, did not lessen the or deal of the men and women who came, eagerly, to pose for a Strauss portrait. According to Sadakichi Hartmann: As a portraitist, Strauss is what I would call a "bru- talist." He does not merely endeavor to control, but ac tually tries to force the countenance of a sitter into its most favorable expressions. He makes the sitter assume an at titude, a gesture, a twist of the body that he considers characteristic, and then, with bulb in hand, lies in wait for some fugitive expression that will yield a significant and 8 U.S. Census, 9thReport, 1870, "Cuyahoga County, Ohio," 21. 9 Gould's St. Louis Directory (St. Louis, 1876), 1156-1158, lists five photographers on Fourth Street: Rodney F. Adams, 215 N. 4th; John Fitzgibbons, 116 N. 4th; George McMillan, 519 S. 4th; Alexander Noel, 1200 S. 4th; and Arthur T. Urie, 4 N. 4th.

He must have been a charming man. According to his friend, editor William Marion Reedy, Strauss was "a condemned optimist." Reedy wrote of Strauss: He has to put a good face on everybody and everything. He is forced to take well with people even if he has to take all their spare cash every time he takes their pic ture. Strauss has to jolly people into looking their best.13 A playful man, as well as a dedicated artist, Strauss maintained a "bachelor's gallery" in his studio with photographs of eligible men about St. Louis. Any of these men who married immediately lost his place in the gallery. To many young female visitors to the studio, 12 Hartmann, "The Man Behind the Gun—J. C.

Strauss Studio, St. Louis Mo. Hist. Soc, St. Louis 456 Missouri Historical Review Strauss offered personally guided tours of the bachelors' room, with a running commentary on the desirable qualities of the subjects of each of his portraits.14 Despite his whimsical sense of humor, Strauss defended zealously the dignity of his calling. As the mechanics of photography became simpler in the nineties, serious craftsmen like Strauss found their position challenged by an army of bumbling amateurs and com mercial hacks. Strauss and other photographers who thought of them selves as artists, sought frantically for new refinements that would distinguish their work from the careless productions of these arrivistes. Strauss became involved in a movement that strove to make photographs look less and less like what they were and more and more like what they were not. In 1894-1895, photographers Robert DeMachy and A. Rouille-Ladeveze adapted the gum bichromate process, invented forty years earlier as a method of making permanent prints, to enable the photographer to control the printing of a photograph from a negative. The craftsman using this process could rub out details, alter tonal values and radically affect the final image. By adding different pigments and printing on rough paper, photographers could create the impression of a chalk or charcoal drawing. By exposing the negative first to a coarse canvas, the artisan could produce an image that resembled a reproduction of a painting.15 Strauss made use of the gum bichromate process and its many variations. While Strauss and others sought more and more sophisticated techniques for manipulating images, Stieglitz and his associates discovered the simple beauty of real life scenes that could be captured in a purely photographic print.16 The only manipulation Stieglitz prac ticed was the necessary, and painstaking, process of selection. Stieglitz pioneered in reproducing snow and rainstorms and in capturing the texture and motion of actions in ordinary life. By expanding the potential of pure photography, Stieglitz identified himself with the future of the art, while Strauss became identified with a passing phase. When Strauss and Stieglitz challenged each other in 1903, it was not at all clear who would be the winner. Negotiations with fair organizers concerning the proposed American photography exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition provoked disagreement on a num ber of technical points. The underlying issue, however, was the 14 5/. Louis Post-Dispatch, August 10, 1924. 15 Gernshiem, History of Photography, 352. 16 Ibid., 353. Julius Strauss and the A rt of Photography 457 question of who should be the one to speak for the modern pictorial movement in photography.17 Strauss was the first to make demands upon the fair ad ministrators. The plan of the fair organizers was to separate photography from all the other fine arts, by displaying paintings, sculpture, fine furniture and decorative glass in the fine arts pavilion, while relegating photography to the hall of liberal arts. Strauss ob jected to this treatment, proposing first that the fair provide a separate building for photography. When that proved unfeasible, he requested that photographs be displayed in the fine arts building.18 The British Journal of Photography indicated that it was far from presumptuous for Strauss to speak on behalf of all serious American photographers. In fact, the journal stated: "It would be dif ficult for our American brethren to choose a more suitable advocate than Mr. Strauss, whose fame has spread to these shores and whose originality and great skill have won for him the applause of those who are able to judge such work." However, the editors of the British professional journal felt that photographers, in general, were premature in claiming the status of a fine art for their work. The editors regarded this demand "as the wailing of the infant for recognition rather than the evidence of the man which has to be recognized."19 Conversely, Stieglitz supported the claim of photography to be displayed with the fine arts, but questioned Strauss's right to speak for artistic photographers. In the January 1903 issue of his journal Camera Work, Stieglitz chided Strauss for his extravagant initial demand for a separate photography pavilion at the fair. More to the point, he attacked Strauss's artistic credentials, writing: ... his connection with the modern pictorial movement has hardly been such as to have given him the knowledge and experience necessary to impress the authorities with the history and consequent rights of photography as a fine art.20 Strauss responded to the attack in a letter to the editor of the Photographic Times-Bulletin. Politely, but indignantly, he pointed out that he had spoken as a member of a committee formed expressly for the purpose of securing recognition of photography as an art from World's Fair officials. In this mission, he and his committee had been 17 Greenough, "Alfred Stieglitz and the Opponents of the Photo-Secession," 16. x* Ibid., 14. 19 "The Public Recognition of the Art of Photography," in the British Journal of Photography, XLIX (April 25, 1902), 324. 20 Greenough, "Alfred Stieglitz and the Opponents of the Photo-Secession," 14. 458 Missouri Historical Re™°™ St. Louis World's Fair, 1904, Palace of Fine Arts completely successful. The fair organizers had agreed to include a show of photographs in the fine arts exhibit. A little stunned by Stieglitz's attack on his "connection with the modern pictorial movement," Strauss regarded it not only "as a very severe blow at me, but at all professional and nearly all amateur photographers."21 Strauss was not being immodest in identifying him self with the mainstream of photographers of his day. In 1903, Stieglitz was a photographic renegade. Having just withdrawn from the Camera Club of New York City, he had formed his own small group of modernist photographers, called the "Photo-secession." In attacking Strauss at this time, Stieglitz was attacking also the great majority of professional and amateur photographers who clung to more conventional photographic methods. The quarrel was not simply personal. It was not merely a dispute over the location of an exhibit at the fair, but an argument over the nature of photographic art. The result of the quarrel was that Stieglitz and his associates refused to show their works at St. Louis. The exhibit went on without them, although it did not enjoy any startling success. While Strauss 21 J. C. Strauss, 'Letter to the Editor," in Photographic Times-Bulletin, XXXV (April, 1903), 236. Julius Strauss and the Art of Photography 459 received many honors from visiting foreign delegations, the exhibit it self received little notice among the many wonders at the exposition.22 Perhaps it was no wonder that fairgoers remained indifferent to the American photographic exhibit. Amid the tumult of electric lights and mechanical wizardry at the exposition, the photography show could not have been very arresting. The absence of the "Photo- secessionists" deprived the exhibit of some of the best and most ex citing work in the field. Only the most perceptive of critics could have realized at the time that the exhibit reflected, not the present or the future of the art, but the past. However, many observers may have sensed a certain stuffiness and passed by the exhibit. Strauss himself seemed unaware of changing times. Uninfluenced by Stieglitz's new mode of photography, Strauss continued to create pictures that looked like paintings. In 1904, he began using the oil pigment process for producing photographically derived prints from colorless images to which he applied an ink pigment with a lightly charged brush. The oil print process, used extensively by Robert DeMachy as well as by Strauss, afforded maximum opportunity for 22 Greenough, "Alfred Stieglitz and the Opponents of the Photo-Secession," and St. Louis Post-Dispatch, August 10, 1924. 460 Missouri Historical Review At left is an example of Strauss's "Old Mas ters" series.

The artist, with his brush, deter mined the tonal qualities, textures, contrast and definition of the final image. In fact, the photographically derived image often provided lit tle more than a guide for the final print.23 Using the oil print process, Strauss created his amazing "Old Masters" series, in which the faces of his friends appeared as the sub jects of famous portraits by Van Dyke, Holbein, Titian, Durer and other great European artists. One room in Strauss's gallery became the Old Masters room. Visitors to this odd museum could view the images of St. Louis businessmen and bankers as Napoleon by De Laroche, a knight errant by Hals, or Erasmus by Holbein.24 While the "Old Masters" series represented a great triumph in craftsmanship, it has not won a place in photographic history, except as a curiosity. From 1904 to his death in 1924, Strauss's studio remained one of the standard attractions for tourists in St. Louis. A quaint and elegant replica of an Alpine chalet, the gallery provided a meeting place for artists, intellectuals and successful men from all walks of life. In a private rathskeller called "the Growlery" in the basement of the studio, the most dynamic and gifted men of St. Louis gathered for thick steaks and brimming steins, laughter and conversation.25 On the steam pipes along the ceilings, Strauss and his friends wrote pithy and/or flippant sayings. Strauss scrawled "Get results!" William Marion Reedy, editor of the St. Louis Mirror, scribbled, "Here's Where You Forget It!" Festus J. Wade, a bank president, wrote, "Not that it matters."26 Reedy said of the Growlery: His studio is a resort of good fellows with a stein on the table. He likes to put much of his profits into edibles and potables and drinkables and get a gang of Bohemians into the growlery underneath his studio and "forget it" in such a way as to make them all go out at ever-so-much o'clock in the morning, a band of boomers of the art and heart of Strauss, the smart.27 In the past half century, the number of Strauss's "boomers" (boosters) has dwindled to almost zero. As Reedy said in 1912, however, Strauss has earned a place in the history of photography as 23 Wall Label, Control Processes Show, International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House, Rochester, New York.

Despite Stieglitz's resistance, Strauss successfully persuaded the officials of the 1904 World's Fair to admit photography to the fine arts pavilion. Both as an advocate and as a practitioner, therefore, Strauss made an important contribution to the development of photography as one of the arts. 28 St. LouisReedy'sMirror, XXI (May9, 1912), 151. Good Advice Jefferson City Jefferson Inquirer, March 30, 1843. No man can ever borrow himself out of debt. If you wish for relief, you must work for it. You must make more and spend less than you did while you were running in debt.—You must wear homespun instead of broadcloth, drink water instead of champagne, and rise at four instead of seven. Industry, frugality, economy, these are the hand maids of wealth, and the sure sources of relief. A dollar earned is worth ten borrowed, and a dollar saved is better than forty times its amount in worthless gew gaws. Try this scheme—it is much better to depend upon bank favors and a thousand times more honorable than a resort to the bankrupt laws. Forecasts of the Weather for Farmers La Belle Star, August 16, 1901. Washington, August 14—Farmers who live along the lines of rural free delivery mail routes are to have the advantage of the United States weather bureau's forecasts of the weather. All they have to do will be to watch the mail cart as it goes by. Arrangements are being made by the postoffice department and the weather bureau to have the mail carts equipped with sets of signals which will be displayed on the sides of the carts. They will be as conspicuous as possible, so that they can be read at a considerable distance from the highways. Mail carriers will receive their weather predictions for the day before they start on their routes in the morning, and will put up the proper signals on both sides of the cart.

The "gushers at the Beaumont of Missouri" are principally on paper. Juries Must Bring Food or Eat in Jail! Kansas City Post, August 1, 1910. An old-time Missouri law and the high cost of living have made it impossible for the county marshal to keep juries in the criminal court in hotels. They are now locked in the jury room and their meals—usually consisting of a sandwich—are carried to them. A law passed about fifty years ago provides that the county shall pay only a dollar a day for the board and lodging of juries. The management of the Ashland hotel has notified the marshal's office that the hotel will take care of no more juries at the rate of a dollar a day. No other hotel seems to want the contract. The reason assigned is that the cost of living has outgrown the price the law allows the marshal to pay. Shelley park, across from the criminal building, is an ideal place for the pitching of tents and tents may be placed there and jurors lodged in them during the hot weather. When the winter season approaches the juries can be locked in jail, but where are the meals to come from? One official suggests that jurors bring along knapsack full of hardtack or any thing else that can withstand the heat of the stuffy jury room. The jurors will be al lowed the privilege of picking their meals from the jail bill of fare. If they don't care to carry their meals with them. Judge Latshaw is worried lest some of the jurors will not take plenty of time to deliberate when fed on sandwiches and lodged on boards. 468 Missouri Historical Review LOCAL HISTORICAL SOCIETIES Affton Historical Society museum director, has completed four box The Society's museum-house commit exhibits for use in the schools of Andrew tee held a work day on March 17 at the County.

It is a million of millions. A million seems large enough—but a million of millions! How long do you suppose it would take to count it? A mill which makes one hundred pins a minute, if kept to work night and day, would make 52,596,000 per year, & at that rate the mill must work 20,000 years without stopping a single moment, in order to turn out a billion of pins! It is beyond our reach to conceive it—and yet when a billion of years shall have gone, eternity will seem to have just begun! How important then is the question: "Where shall I spend eternity?'' —Savannah Courier. Quantrill's Men to Hold Annual Reunion Kansas City Post, August 13, 1910.

Superstition Still Lives Columbia Missouri Herald, August 18, 1899. A young lady of East St. Louis recently attempted to give a "superstition dinner" which proved to be a failure from point of attendance. Invitations were sent to twelve other young ladies, and stated that each guest would be expected upon entering the house and smash a looking glass and pass under a ladder before entering the dining room. The hostess was to receive her guests under an open umbrella and the dinner was to be served in thirteen courses, and several other things against which popular superstitions exist, were to have been gone through with, but on the day of the party the hostess received eleven letters of regret. One young lady called, but declared she could not break the looking glass. Miss Baugh, who gave the party, says she accom plished her purpose—that of proving that all women, even though well educated, are superstitious. Meanings of the Word Shoe Columbia Missouri Herald, July 21, 1899. That common English word shoe is of unknown origin. It is found in a number of languages in a form similar to the English. The old English plural of the word was "shoon" and is thus used by Shakespeare in the line, "Spare none but such as go in clouted shoon." It is more interesting, however, to note the number of different applications of the word to other things than a covering for the feet. In the railroad world it specifies that part of the braking apparatus that presses against the wheel. In sleighs it applies to the band fastened to the runner. The drag or block under a wheel of a wagon going down hill is called a shoe. It also has its many uses among archi tects, millers and machinists. Of course, in the common use of the word one refers to the leather covering for the feet and the best of these can be purchased from C. B. Miller at the most reasonable prices. 492 Missouri Historical Review MISSOURI HISTORY IN MAGAZINES American Studies, Fall, 1978: "George Caleb Bingham as ethnographer; a variant view of his genre works," by George Ehrlich.

In tearing down the Manufacturer's building on the St. Louis World's Fair grounds jewels worth $50,000 were found. It seems that a wealthy English man and his wife visited the fair and with them was a Hindoo servant who stole the jewels and hid them in the Manufacturers' building, but was unable later to locate them. Even Then. La Belle Star, August 30, 1902. It has been discovered that unscrupulous dealers and wholesalers throughout the country are engaged in treating fruits, vegetables, milk and other foodstuffs with chemicals which preserve them from decay, or embalm them, as the undertaker would state it. It is stated on good authority that the preservatives employed are poisonous and foods treated with the chemicals are consequently injurious when taken into the stomach. The thought that one is apt to encounter these socalled embalming materials in almost any brand of prepared foods is not comforting and results in the admonish ment to avoid eating that which is not sold under a good guarantee of purity.

By Loren Reid (Columbia, Mo.: University of Missouri Press, 1978). 291 pp. Illustrated. Maps. $12.95. General readers and scholars alike will find this history of Gilman City, Missouri, highly rewarding. Its author, Loren Reid, was born there in 1905, the elder son in a family that published the local weekly paper and served as postmasters in Democratic administrations. Located in a fertile general farming area in Harrison County near the Iowa line, Gilman City reached its peak population in the 1930 census. Promoters of the Quincy, Omaha, and Kansas City Railroad link between Pattonsburg and Trenton had founded the town in 1897, and for a time, town and railroad prospered together. Ultimately the automobile caused both to decline and the railroad to abandon the Gilman City link in the 1930s. Separate chapters concentrate on the railroad, family-owned newspaper, post office, business district, school, home life, annual community activities, informal entertainment, long-remembered friends, the automobile, physical pollution, World War I and the last days of the Gilman City Guide. Of these, readers will find Reid's treatment of the routines of school life, the newspaper, the post office and the railroad especially outstanding. And naturally so. His mother took him to the newspaper office as a baby and there he learned very early to read and write by playing with handset type. He was an avid reader and loved school, spent hours at the post office because father and mother were the postmasters, and during the summer months met all local trains to gather items for the newspaper. Many factors make this an outstanding contribution to the fields of Missouriana and Americana. A simple and unpretentious style har monizes well with the subject matter, a result of the author's own in- Historical Notes and Comments 499 timate acquaintance with the art of language communication. Reid has an excellent memory and has supplemented 'his by reexamining the files of the Guide, much of which he himself set for printing after school and of evenings while a high school student. His aptitude and curiosity in the field of mechanics have enabled him to describe ef fectively such diverse machinery as automobiles, railroad locomotives and the rapidly changing art of printing during his years in Gilman City. Most importantly, he escapes any danger of triviality in volved in treating everyday topics in a small town by shaping his material into a microcosm of perhaps the most revolutionary rapidity of technological change, and resulting social impact, that man has ever experienced. One will not need to have lived in a small com munity to appreciate the significance and broadly humanistic appeal of Reid's material. Shortcomings are fewer and less important. Scholars will be han dicapped by a lack of footnotes and a formal bibliography. They and the general readers will be irritated, as I was, by the absence of an in dex when they want to find again some statement pertinent to their in terests. More could have been done with individual and community values and with moral frailties. As a team of newspaper publishers- postmasters and as individuals, the author's own parents deserve greater analysis. His father wrote two books, an autobiography and poetry, some of which appeared in the Ladies Home Journal, Harper's Weekly and elsewhere. None of it is quoted or analyzed. Did he gladly adopt the boosterism and folksy style that seems to have characterized his papers along with other such publications of the time? Reid's mother arouses an equal measure of curiosity. Perhaps, however, one test of a really good book is whether it leaves the reader wanting to know still more about its characters and locale. If so, this book adds that proof of excellence to its other merits. University of Missouri-Columbia Lewis E. A therton Proof of Piety Bowling Green Post-Observer, September 20, 1878. A bald-head is said to be an evidence of early piety, but it requires a great deal of that or some other kind of piety to keep a bald-headed man in a good humor when a blue-bottle fly persists in dancing a hornpipe on the place where the hair ought to grow. 500 Missouri Historical Review BOOK NOTES Lost Family-Lost Cause. By Ivan N. McKee (Freeman, S. Dak.: Pine Hill Press, 1978). 95 pp. Illustrated. Not indexed. $10.00. Ivan N. McKee, in this brief hardbound volume, has recon structed from documents and family recollections the tragic story of Thomas Jefferson McGee, his sons Daniel, Blair and Hugh, during the Civil War in Missouri. Residents of Wayne County in the southeast portion of the state, the McGee men and their immediate families staunchly defended the Confederate cause. Each man met his death because of his pro-Southern allegiance, including the elder McGee who never bore arms. Wives and children, of course, suffered immeasurably. Although slanted in his view, McKee has presented an interesting commentary on the traumatic Civil War days. The McGee saga was not an isolated instance. Countless other Missourians, whether sympathetic to the North or South, suffered similar depredations. Lost Family-Lost Cause sells for $10.00 and may be obtained from Ivan N. McKee, Coburn Gore, Maine, Star Route, Eustis, Maine 04936. Building the Hewn Log House. By Charles McRaven (Hollister, Mo.: Mountain Publishing Service, 1978). 208 pp. Illustrated. In dexed. $7.95.

Borrowed Her Neighbor's Ants Columbia Missouri Herald, August 11,1899. A plague of small ants is worrying the good housekeepers in the lower part of Breckenridge, New York. The little pests get in the sugar bowls, play havoc with cakes and pies and drown themselves in the jelly and fruit preserves. It is well known that the large black ants devour the little red ones, and one bright lady introduced several of the big black ants into her room in order that they might eat the little ones up. The black ants did their work nobly and now the house is free of the small pests. Since the bright woman made her successful experiment her neighbors frequently run over and ask: "Mrs. —, will you please lend me your big black ants for a day or so? I want to borrow them to eat my little ones." INDEX TO VOLUME LXXIII COMPILED BY HIROKO SOMERS Art Student's League, New York, 368 Asher.Ruth, 116 A.M.

HISTORIC MISSOURI CHURCHES Caledonia Methodist Church ^m^;^/ , n^mt^ The first settlers in the Bellevue Valley came from Green County, Tennessee, in the 1790s and the first decade of the 1800s. In 1808, William Woods settled in the valley near present-day Caledonia. The following year, he married Elizabeth McMurtrey. In early 1810, Woods, his wife and five other women organized a Methodist class. Work soon commenced on a hewn log meeting house. Built on the land of William Reed, the first settler in the valley, Shiloh Meeting House had a clapboard roof, one doorway, a fireplace and huge doors installed on the sides of the house for protection from cold in winter and opened for ventilation in summer. Completed by 1814, it became the first Methodist meeting house west of the Mississippi River. In 1818, Joseph and Lodema Reed deeded Shiloh and a little over an acre of ground to the trustees of the Methodist congregation. Thomas Wright became the first preacher to serve the congregation which was a part of the Meramec Circuit. Shiloh later became a charge on the Bellevue Circuit. Protracted camp meetings near the meeting house resulted in construction of a preacher's house and small, log houses for use by those attending. The Missouri Conference met there in 1834. That same year, Dr. John G. Bryan and his wife deeded land west of the church for a cemetery. The log church served until 1852 when the congregation built a rectangular, one-story brick structure on Main Street in the town of Caledonia. According to community tradition, Rev. Harrison M. Long was largely responsible for this church which featured a double en trance, a frame belfry and a slave balcony. The congregation used this building over 50 years until it and seven other structures in Caledonia burned in October 1909. Members immediately made plans to rebuild, and by late 1911 a new "fireproof" concrete block building reached completion. Beautiful art glass windows, memorials to pastors and mem bers who had served the church, added a distinctive feature to the structure. After 40 years, the congregation began several improvements to the church. They added a kitchen, dining room and three memorial windows in the new wing. Improvements to the interior included paneling, new lights, an organ and a piano. In December 1953, Bishop Ivan Lee Holt visited the Caledonia church. Stucco was added to the exterior and the building was remodeled in 1965. The congregation commemorated its 157th anniversary during a two-day celebration in September 1967. The observance included worship services, a basket dinner, historical displays and a historical pageant. Bishop Eugene Frank also officiated at the dedication of a historical marker on the site of Shiloh Meeting House in the Caledonia Methodist Cemetery just north of the town. The Caledonia Methodist Church honors its heritage while serving today's com munity.
