BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH The Irwin-Sweeney-Miller Family of Columbus Indiana is a multi-generaltional unit whose members were active in business, philanthropy, religion, and politics in their community and state, but also nationally and internationally. This collection tells the stories of each of the main family members individually, but also reflects on the cohesiveness of the family unit as a whole. Joseph Ireland Irwin (August 6, 1824-August 13, 1910) was born to John and Vilinda Irwin on farm near Columbus, Indiana. As a child, Irwin attended pioneer schools and helped his father tend to the farm. In 1846, however, he took a job as a clerk at a dry goods store in Columbus, where the story is that to save money, he used to walk the four miles between work and home. By 1850, Mr. Irwin had saved $150 and bought the dry goods store himself. In this same year, on August 15th, Mr. Irwin married Harriet Clementine Glanton, the daughter of James Jeter Glanton and Amanda Troutman Glanton. Mr. Irwin seemed to have made a name for himself in the community by this time because Mrs. Irwin was said to have recalled a relative telling her “if Joe Irwin ever asks you to marry him, you tell him yes and glad of the chance.” Joseph Ireland Irwin and Harriet Glanton Irwin had six children, Amanda, Ella, Nettie, Charles Sumner, Linnie, and William, but only Linnie and William survived childhood. It so happened that Mr. Irwin’s dry goods store had the only safe in the town of Columbus, so farmers and people in the town would come to Irwin with their surplus funds and had him hold them for safekeeping. Soon, Mr. Irwin established a private bank on 3rd and Washington Street. Eventually the bank’s business became so much that he sold the dry goods store and in 1891, but remained President of Irwin’s Bank until his death. In addition to the Bank, Mr. Irwin was also responsible for improving transportation in Columbus. Early on, he recognized the need for a good road to transport goods out of Columbus, and built a system of turnpikes and 50 miles of gravel roads. In 1878, he built the first telephone line in Indiana to connect this store and a toll gate on one of his roads. However, the road and local railroads around Columbs were not enough to support growing population and commerce in the area. Mr. Irwin was convinced by his son William, who also had business interests at this time, to build and interurban line from Greenwood to Columbus. On January 1, 1900, the interurban opened, and Mr. Irwin and his son William continued to operate the Indianapolis, Frankin & Greenwood line, which became the Indianapolis, Columbus & Southern Traction Company when service was extended between Indianapolis and Columbus in 1903, until they sold their interests to the Interstate Public Service Company. Mr. Irwin also had business interests in the tin plate industry, organizing the National Tin Plate Co. in 1894, and also the starch industry, where in he turned an abandoned starch mill in Edinburgh, IN into the Union Starch & Refining Company. In addition to his business interests, Mr. Irwin was a staunch Republican and a great admirer of Abraham Lincoln and supporter of Governor Oliver Morton and President Benjamin Harrison. He was the chairman of the party’s Indiana State Central Committee from 1862-74, and he served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1872 and 1884. He was a member of the commission, and contributed the most money to erect the statue of Governor Morton at the Indiana Statehouse. In addition, Mr. Irwin and his family were members and founders of the Tabernacle Christian Church in Columbus. Mr. Irwin served as a trustee on the church board, and also as an elder and treasurer of the church. Mr. Irwin also served his community and the state of Indiana as the Director of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphans home (1866-70), a trustee and later President of Northwestern Christian University, later Butler University (1868-1910). Mr. Irwin was a well respected and regarded man in the Columbus area, so much so that on his 85th birthday in 1909 he received hundreds of postcards from well wishers. It could be said that the Irwin-Sweeney-Miller Family’s tradition of giving away vast portions of their wealth to the benefit of their community and world began with Mr. Irwin, as he donated to a variety of charities and also donated the city park and the site of the Columbus public library to the city. Rev. Zachary Taylor Sweeney (February 10, 1849- February 4, 1926) was born to G. E. Sweeney and Talitha Campbell in Liberty, Casey Co., Kentucky. He was the youngest of a family of nine. Rev. Sweeney’s father and grandfather Job were originally Baptist ministers, but G.E. Sweeney later identified with the Christian Church after being influenced by the Restoration movement of Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone. Rev. Sweeney spent his childhood in Kentucky, but moved to Illinois when he was 14 to enter the Scottsville Seminary. He remained there for five years, and entered Eureka College for one year, before moving on again to Asbury (DePauw) University, where he was a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. In 1871, he arrived in Columbus, Indiana as the new pastor of the Christian Church, which was patronized by the family of Joseph Ireland Irwin, but he left in 1873 to pursue an opportunity in Louisville, Kentucky. Yet something called him back to Columbus, where he returned in 1875 and married Linnie Irwin, the daughter of Jospeh Ireland Irwin. Rev. Sweeney and Linnie Irwin had three children, Nettie, Joseph, and Elsie. The Christian Church in Columbus, under Rev. Sweeney’s pastorate grew to be very popular, so he led efforts with his father-in-law to build a new church, the Tabernacle Christian Church. Rev. Sweeney served as minister of the church until 1896. However, during this time, from 1889 to 1893, Rev. Sweeney took a sojourn to Constantinople, where he was appointed by President Benjamin Harrison as the United States Consul General and travelled extensively thoughout the Middle East. Sweeney was well liked by the Sultan, and was named as an honorary member of the Turkish Order of Osmanieh. An avid fisherman, Rev. Sweeney was appointed as the Commissioner of Fisheries and Game for the State of Indiana from 1899 to 1913. Rev. Sweeney’s interest in outdoor sport was also what led him to Muskoka Lakes in the province of Ontario, Canada in 1886. Impressed with the area, when Rev. Sweeney returned to Columbus he promoted the area to his friends and family, and soon a multi-family camping trip was planned in Muskoka. The men and children enjoyed the area, but the women in the group were said to have been unenthused, so the group vacationed elsewhere for the next ten years. However, all in the group were still impressed by the beauty of Muskoka, so Rev. Sweeney found a cottage to rent there in 1906, where he was joined by other members of the Irwin-Sweeney-Miller family. Three years later, Joseph Ireland Irwin purchased a permanent home, Llanllar, for the Irwin-Sweeney-Miller family, and the family has been travelling to Llanllar, Windermere, Muskoka every year since. Additionally, Rev. Sweeney served as the President of the American Christian Missionary Society, the Chairman of the Commission on Foreign Relations, a trustee of Butler University, and and founder of the Butler School of Religion (now the Christian Theological Seminary). He toured around as a Chautauqua and lyceum lecturer. Rev. Sweeney was also a published author of such works as Under Ten Flags and The Spirit and the Word, and two volumes dealing with Bible readings. For his lifetime achievements, Rev. Sweeney was honored with a doctor of laws from Butler University, membership in the Victorial Institution of London and the Institute of Christian Philosophy of New York. Rev. Sweeney was remembered as a man who “loved nature and his fellowman and was a delightful companion, full of rare stories, apt for any occasion.” Linnie Irwin Sweeney (February 25, 1859-February 2, 1944) was born to Joseph Ireland Irwin and Harriet Clementine Glanton in Columbus, Indiana.

  • AIA Committee on Design Conference, Columbus, Indiana April 12-15, 2012: “Defining Architectural Design Excellence”
    AIA Committee on Design conference, Columbus, Indiana April 12-15, 2012: “Defining Architectural Design Excellence” Last year Columbus, Indiana was rediscovered in the national media with the public opening of the Miller House and Gardens. An exquisite design collaboration of Eero Saarinen, Alexander Girard and Dan Kiley, completed in 1957, the landmark has been declared “America’s most significant modernist house”. While the house is now owned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA) and public tours are available through the Columbus Visitors Center, the tours are often sold out, limited in numbers and access. The IMA is providing the AIA-COD the opportunity to visit the house and gardens as an “open house”, with guides distributed throughout to provide information, and is allowing us personal photography. If you have visited Columbus in the past, you are aware of its recognition for its many modern buildings designed by nationally and internationally recognized architects, including Eliel Saarinen, Eero Saarinen, Harry Weese, Robert Venturi, I.M. Pei, Gunnar Birkerts, Kevin Roche, and Richard Meier. Columbus has been called the “mecca of modern architecture” and “the Athens of the Prairie”. In 2000, in a highly unusual move, six modern architecture and landscape architecture sites were designated as National Historic Landmarks; including First Christian Church (Eliel Saarinen), Irwin Union Bank (Eero Saarinen), Miller House and Gardens, North Christian Church (Eero Saarinen), Mabel McDowell Elementary School (John Carl Warnecke), and First Baptist Church (Harry Weese). The AIA COD conference will visit each of these locations. The commitment to design excellence has continued in Columbus the last 10 years, in fact thriving to have had the most construction per capita through the Great Recession.

  • Modernism in Bartholomew County, Indiana, from 1942
    NPS Form 10-900 USDI/NPS NRHP Registration Form (Rev. 8-86) OMB No. 1024-0018 MODERNISM IN BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY, INDIANA, FROM 1942 Page 1 United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form E. STATEMENT OF HISTORIC CONTEXTS INTRODUCTION This National Historic Landmark Theme Study, entitled “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana from 1942,” is a revision of an earlier study, “Modernism in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Design and Art in Bartholomew County, Indiana, 1942-1999.” The initial documentation was completed in 1999 and endorsed by the Landmarks Committee at its April 2000 meeting. It led to the designation of six Bartholomew County buildings as National Historic Landmarks in 2000 and 2001 First Christian Church (Eliel Saarinen, 1942; NHL, 2001), the Irwin Union Bank and Trust (Eero Saarinen, 1954; NHL, 2000), the Miller House (Eero Saarinen, 1955; NHL, 2000), the Mabel McDowell School (John Carl Warnecke, 1960; NHL, 2001), North Christian Church (Eero Saarinen, 1964; NHL, 2000) and First Baptist Church (Harry Weese, 1965; NHL, 2000). No fewer than ninety-five other built works of architecture or landscape architecture by major American architects in Columbus and greater Bartholomew County were included in the study, plus many renovations and an extensive number of unbuilt projects. In 2007, a request to lengthen the period of significance for the theme study as it specifically relates to the registration requirements for properties, from 1965 to 1973, was accepted by the NHL program and the original study was revised to define a more natural cut-off date with regard to both Modern design trends and the pace of Bartholomew County’s cycles of new construction.

  • They Might Be Giants Severe Tire Damage Free Download
    they might be giants severe tire damage free download Severe Tire Damage (album) Severe Tire Damage is a primarily live album by They Might Be Giants, released in 1998. It also features a few studio tracks, including a new single ("Doctor Worm"). Contents. Song notes Song origins Track listing References External links. The live cuts, some recorded at soundchecks without any audience, feature at least one track from every album since their debut, which include a few old fan favorites that have been reworked since the duo adopted a full backing band. Songs like "She's an Angel", from their debut, They Might Be Giants and "Birdhouse in Your Soul", from their major label debut, Flood , are treated to multiple guitars and a horn section. Conversely, the song "Meet James Ensor" originally appeared on their first full band effort, John Henry (1994) and surfaces here in a bare-bones rendition, with only vocals and an accordion. Besides the aforementioned lack of an audience on several tracks, some tracks have also undergone studio "retooling" - most notably, "Ana Ng," which appeared in its untampered form (with an uncropped intro and without a heavily distorted voice saying, "I don't want the world. ") on the 1994 promo-only release "Live!! New York City." A condensed version of this album was released as Live , which featured 10 of the 24 tracks listed here. Song notes. Tracks 1, 2, and 17 were recorded in a studio rather than onstage; track 15 was recorded in a hotel room. [ citation needed ] Tracks 18-24 are hidden songs that were improvised in concert, based on the Planet of the Apes movie series.

Gemmecke* In 1939, the president of a Columbus, Indiana, manu- facturing concern, in a memorandum addressed to five of his executives, set forth his understanding of the three aims for which his company had striven in its twenty years of existence: first, the building of the most nearly perfect product possible ; second, the training of the manpower of the community, not only to be good mechanics, but also to be God- fearing and useful citizens; third, a non-paternal but very earnest interest in the welfare of the workers, with a manage- ment so concerned about men that the company would never thrust out upon society its broken and its aged.' The sec- ondary aims relating to the size to be attained, quality of staff, and line of development to be pursued need not be considered here. His memorandum was submitted to the banker who had done more than anyone else to keep the company alive during its early struggles. The word came back that the sentiments expressed were exactly correct.* The Cummins Diesel Engine was an outgrowth of the faith which these two men had in one another. One, William G. Irwin, was banker, industrialist, patron of a small uni- versity, and associate of the high and mighty within the national councils of the Republican Party, the United States Chamber of Commerce, and the National Association of Manufacturers. The other, Clessie L. Cummins, ingenious * Richard H. Gemmecke is a member of the faculty at Indiana State Teachers College.
