Wha t Lies

by William Halliar

I can still feel the dust of long-forgotten spaces and old bones in the back of my throat. I shiver as I recall ducking under rough-hewn fl oor joists and between cobwebs to peer at gravestones in the dark basement of St. Mary’s Church. I remember the un- derground rooms that form the basement of Trinity Episcopal Church and Barker Hall. As we drive past these and other land- marks, we may admire the beauty of their architecture, but we seldom think of what lies below. Many of these sturdy old build- ings hide dusty secrets beneath their stout walls. Seldom visited spaces nestled between thick foundations, hidden beneath well-maintained workspaces, they contain bits and pieces of the history of lives lived in the world above. St. Mary’s Church on 11th Street was built in 1867. By that time, the city was thriving. It originally was surveyed and laid out by representatives of Isaac C. Elston, merchant and land speculator, in 1832. Streets were arranged in a grid with numbered blocks in between. Some city plots sold to out-of-town speculators who sought to make a profi t in this new town growing at the northernmost terminus of the Michigan Road. Many lots were sold to pioneers eager to make this their new home, all with great hope in what Michigan City could become. The lots sold rapidly, making Elston a $50,000 profi t, which today would equal more than $1.5 million. After changing hands several times, it was recorded in No- vember 1862 by the Michigan City Common Council that Lot No. 90, along with portions of several adjoining lots, could be used by “the catholic congregation of Michigan City... for the purpose of a burial ground.” Custodian Tony Quartuccio shows the entrance to St. Mary’s basement.

The new burial place would be specially consecrated to people of the Catholic faith. According to Pat Harris, historian of St. Mary’s Church, this burial ground was, for a long time, “the only consecrated burying ground in this part of the state, and it was customary to bring bodies here from all over the area.” Bodies were brought from San Pierre, Wanatah, Westville and Otis. Interments were made at the new Catholic cemetery until, soon, the dead outnumbered the living. In 1863, the city purchased 20 acres to create Greenwood Cemetery as a new and permanent rest- ing place for its dead of all faiths. 622 Franklin Street • 219.552.2419 • A November 1864 city ordinance made it illegal for “any person, or persons, churches or associa- tions to bury any more dead in any of the cemeteries within the corporate limits of Michigan City.” In accordance with the law, therefore, the residents of Michigan City’s Catholic cemetery were disinterred and moved to Greenwood. The problem was that complete records were not kept, and no one knew for sure where all of the dearly departed Open 701 Washington St Mon - Sat 11-7 were buried.

We bent low as we proceeded into the space to discover two grave headstones leaning against a rough brick wall. The fi rst headstone was rectangular at about 1½ feet wide and ap- proximately 4½ feet tall. It had a crack running across it, but the carved text could be plainly read; “Johannah wife of Thomas Riley died April 8, 1860, 22 y’rs. A native of Castle, County of Kary, Ireland.” The second stone was of somewhat more decorative shape.

May he rest in peace.” Trinity Episcopal Church at Sixth and Franklin streets. THE October 29, 2020 Page 5 Though several congregations may lay claim to having offered the fi rst Christian service in Michi- gan City, Trinity Church archivist Matt Kubik has established that the fi rst service held here by an Episcopal priest was on Oct. 5, 1834. The Episco- pal congregation built the fi rst permanent church building in town in 1836. Today’s impressive limestone church, the third this congregation has built through the years — the second being in 1858 — has a tall corner bell tower with carillon. It was built in 1889 and is located at Sixth and Franklin streets. The church is attached to Barker Hall, which served as a sort of community center for Michigan City for many years. Trinity and Barker Hall have been remodeled and reformatted, so to speak, many times over the years to suit the congregation and the community’s needs. Barker Hall was built by John Barker in honor of two of his children who died as infants. Barker’s daughter, Catherine, rebuilt and modernized the hall in later years. All of this remodeling and reconfi guring created an interesting basement that twists and winds un- derground. It is lined with interesting side rooms Matt Kubik, photographed on his way to the and alcoves, each holding items long discarded, but Trinity Episcopal Church basement. not yet consigned to the dump.

The river turned out to be not quite as grand as I imagined, but water does fl ow steadily through a portion of the basement built over a stream that once crossed Franklin Street. Pat Harris told me the same stream runs under the old Mercantile Bank building across the street. When the concrete was poured for the basement in 1889, it was thought perhaps the stream would begin to fl ow around the walls of the building. It did not work that way, and the freshly poured concrete caved in. The solution was to just keep pouring until the stream gave up and changed course. Now, it fl ows freely beneath the Franklin Street cloisters. On a lighter note, we bring our tale to a close by focusing on the old First Congregational Church on Washington Street, now home to Christ Church.

A chance to resent a diverse spectrum The trial, itself, is con- sit on the sidelines, offering running commentary THE October 29, 2020 Page 19 on the ludicrous nature of repressive authority. The satirical approach works to the story’s benefi t because it allows the dialogue to sting with commentary. Sorkin is the Stephen Sondheim of screen- writing, cramming as many words as possible into the shortest of actor breaths. There is a rhythm, a cadence and clarity to it, that the cast masters from the word go. An example: Defendant John Froines (Daniel Flaherty): For the life of me, I can’t fi gure out what the two of us are doing here.” Fellow defendant Lee Weiner (Noah Robbins): I feel exactly the same way. But this is the Academy Awards of protests, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s an honor just to be nominated.” That comical edge is counterbalanced by exceed- Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne is effective as Tom Hayden, ingly powerful scenes afforded by freshly minted leader of the Students for a Democratic Society.

Kristin Scott Thomas makes for a chilling Mrs. Danvers. release from that misery. And their courtship is established through the warm, sun-crisp imagery by cinematographer Laurie Rose. But as those familiar with the story know, Max- im’s sprawling estate known as Manderley is anything but a safe haven. It is run with an iron fi st by the cold Mrs. Danvers, played with appropriate iciness by Kristin Scott Thomas (“The English Pa- tient”), and who remains beholden to Maxim’s fi rst wife, Rebecca. The “new” Mrs. de Winter, as she’s referred to, fi nds Manderley trapped in the past, a shrine to the ghost of Rebecca’s legacy, which chips away at the seams of her marriage. Once the characters are fi rmly entrenched in the Gothic tragedy of Manderley, the fi lm does not stray from the mechanics of du Maurier’s tale. If you’ve read the book or seen the Hitchcock picture, you know precisely what to expect. And Hammer, who is repeatedly cast in fi lms solely for his matinee-idol looks, lacks the intensity someone like Christian Bale or Jude Law might have brought to the role. ǡ͝ǡ͝ǣ͟͜ James, however, delivers the goods.
