    Social Life and Social Services in Indianapolis Networks During the Gilded Age and Progressive Era KATHERINE BADERTSCHER ABSTRACT: In late nineteenth-century Indianapolis, a group of citizens, united by social networks, dominated the gov- ernance and management of the city’s social services for several decades. The tight-knit network of men and women worked together at the center of social and philanthropic life. Since its inception in 1879, the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (COS) wielded virtual control over social welfare—making it one of the most progressive and powerful philanthropic organizations in the country. An influ- ential coterie of men and women governed, donated to, and volunteered for the COS and many of its sub-agencies. Then, as now, social networks are as essential for us to understand as social entrepreneurs and charismatic leaders. KEYWORDS: Charity Organization Society; social networks; social life; Progressive Era; Indianapolis; philanthropy n nineteenth-century Indianapolis, a group of citizens, united by social Inetworks, dominated the governance and management of the city’s social services for several decades. Social networks build and sustain communi- ties, as groups of citizens solve community problems and work together toward a notion of the common good. Such networks facilitate access to information, enhance individuals’ influence, and create solidarity that INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY, 113 ( December 2017). © 2017, Trustees of Indiana University. doi: 10.2979/indimagahist.113.4.01 272 INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY reinforces cultural norms.1 The organized charity movement of Gilded Age and Progressive Era Indianapolis provide an important example of how social networks established and strengthened the community’s prevailing cultural norms.

A NEW HUMANISM SUITED TO MODERN CONDITIONS There is a passage in one of Walter Page's letters which puts very vividly the theme which I wish to discuss today. Mr. Page, writing as the American ambassador to the British Court, describes to President Wilson a royal dinner given by England to the King of Denmark and in the course of his description comments on the difference between the American attitude toward ceremonial and the attitude of the typical Englishman.

Burlingame, Ph.D., Chair Doctoral Committee ______________________________ Robert G. Barrows, Ph.D. March 6, 2015 ______________________________ Nancy Marie Robertson, Ph.D. ______________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgments My thanks begin with my doctoral committee. Dwight Burlingame advised me throughout my entire program, chose the perfect readings for me in our dissertation seminar, helped me shape the project, and read each chapter promptly and thoughtfully. His steadfast belief in my scholarship and his infinite kindness have been invaluable. Phil Scarpino and Bob Barrows led the seminars during which my dissertation idea took shape. Nancy Robertson challenged me to look at the work from many different angles and suggested a veritable treasure trove of scholarship upon which to draw. All their questions, comments, guidance, and encouragement have helped my work more than mere words can express. My colleagues in the doctoral program and students in the undergraduate program provided unwavering support as I lovingly talked about my research, “my organization,” and “my time period.” I especially thank Barbara Duffy, who chose the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (1879-1883) for her History of Philanthropy doctoral seminar research project. I enjoyed talking about “our women,” sharing our emerging ideas, swapping sources, and basking in one another’s “Eureka!” moments as we made one connection after another.

    2020 Crown Hill Walking Tour of Indianapolis’ Bicentennial Notables 1. Alexander Ralston (1771-1827) Born in Scotland, Ralston immigrated to the U.S. following the Revolutionary War. He served as personal assistant to Pierre L’Enfant in 1791 during his planning for Washington, D.C. Hired in 1820 to survey land for Indianapolis on a 4-mile plat of dense forest. Inspired by his work with L’Enfant, he designed a Mile Square plan consisting of a central circle with four radiating avenues bisecting a grid of streets. Lot 30, Section 3 (Pictured) 2. John Washington Love (1850-1880) The artist’s palette on the side of Love Family monument is a fitting tribute to this artist. He was the co-founder of the first professional art school in Indianapolis and Indiana. Unfortunately, death at age 30 from “congestion of the stomach” cut short what might have been a very noted career as a painter. Lot 3, Section 3 3. Richard J. Gatling, M.D. (1818-1903) Doctor and prolific inventor best known for his invention of the Gatling gun in 1861, considered the first successful machine gun. He believed his invention would end all wars. Lot 9, Section 3 4. Hiram Bacon (1801-1881) His farm included an area still called Bacon’s Swamp, now a lake just west of Keystone between Kessler and 54th Street in the middle of a retirement community. According to some sources, he used his barn as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Lot 43, Section 3 5. Horatio Newcomb (1821-1882) Indianapolis elected its first mayor in 1847, Samuel Henderson, who left town in 1849 in pursuit of California Gold.

  • She Went to War: Indiana Women Nurses in the Civil War
    She Went to War: Indiana Women Nurses in the Civil War Peggy Brase Seigel"' The four years of the Civil War provided unprecedented oppor- tunities for Indiana women to expand their traditional domestic roles. As men rushed to volunteer as soldiers following the surren- der of Fort Sumter, South Carolina, in April, 1861, women devised ways both to help the war cause and to survive financially. Carry- ing their domestic skills into the public forum, they organized sol- diers' aid societies to make clothing and collect supplies that they then shipped to state supply offices or took to soldiers in southern camps. They conducted bazaars and organized benefits to raise funds. They helped needy families of soldiers by supplying them with food and winter fuel. Often, out of financial necessity, they carried on family businesses, or they took jobs that had previously been largely reserved for men.I Confronted with reports of widespread disease in military hos- pitals and camps and of neglect and chaos following battles, Indi- ana women also looked for ways to help the stricken soldiers. Many were inspired by Florence Nightingale, the British woman who Peggy Hrase Seigel is an English instructor. Lutheran College of Health Pro- fessions. Fort Wayne. Indiana.
