In July 1930, the Bishop of the Fort Wayne Diocese appointed Father Edgar J. Cyr as pastor of the new parish and designated parish boundaries. In September 1930 construction began on a church building at the corner of West Jackson and Nichols streets. The first Mass was celebrated on December 8, 1930, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, in the basement church. The upper floor of the church was not completed until 1958.

Ground was broken for the present St. Mary Church at 2300 W. Jackson Street on May 31, 1963, and the completed building was dedicated on August 15, 1965, the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. The new church was consecrated on August 15, 1968. In 1975 a new rectory- administration building was completed, and in 1977 an adjacent 3.4 acres with two buildings were purchased.

The St. Mary Catholic Church Oral History Project was initiated as part of a Library Services and Technology Act grant for 2006-2007 to create the Middletown Digital Oral History Collection.

P.251 UAW-CIO, Local 499 Collection, circa 1970-1980 The Muncie, Indiana Chevrolet Plant began manufacturing manual transmissions for passenger cars and trucks in 1935.

During the 1950s and 1960s, the company witnessed a rapid expansion and growth of operations at the plant. Several large additions and new facilities were erected to house the plant's growing product lines.

As the United States auto industry felt the effects of foreign competition and labor struggles during the late 1970s and 1980s, Chevrolet-Muncie began a long process of layoffs and facility closings. As a result of these struggles, Chevrolet-Muncie's ownership changed several times throughout the late 20th century.

Mr. Schwartz had a number of interests that sparked his involvement with numerous community organizations and clubs.

His lifelong interest in the American Jewish experience led to his involvement in the Muncie Jewish community and in the Union of American Hebrew Congregations.

P.258 “The Man Haters” Collection, 1894-1997 In January 1994, through the efforts of Bill Barnett, Director of Library Business Services, the families of Bill Kirtley, his sister Jenny Leach and their spouses, donated a 1915 film entitled, “The Man Haters” to the Ball State University Libraries. The film, having an intrinsic value simply because it still existed, became even more valuable when it was learned that it was filmed in Muncie, Indiana, with a Muncie cast, the result of a newspaper popularity contest. Upon viewing the film, Michael Wood, Dean of the Ball State University Libraries (1979-2006), thought that it would make an excellent program for the upcoming Friends of the Bracken Library program in the Spring of 1995. His idea was to use the film as a centerpiece of a video, surrounding it with visual documentation gathered from detailed research about the producer, the cast members, and the scenes of Muncie, Indiana from 1915. He appointed Nancy Turner, Head of Archives and Special Collections in the Ball State University Libraries as Director of “The Man Haters” project. This collection is the direct result of that research project. Many digital images as well as the film from “The Man Haters” collection can be found on the Ball State University`s Digital Media Repository Web site. See related materials from MSS.177, POVA.177, PSCN.159, and V.177.

P.259 Chevrolet Motor Company (Muncie, Indiana) Collection, circa 1950-1980 The Muncie, Indiana Chevrolet Plant began manufacturing manual transmissions for passenger cars and trucks in 1935. In 1940, the employees of Chevrolet-Muncie became a union and formed Local 499 affiliated with the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). During the 1950s and 1960s, the company witnessed a rapid expansion and growth of operations at the plant. Several large additions and new facilities were erected to house the plant's growing product lines.

As the United States auto industry felt the effects of foreign competition and labor struggles during the late 1970s and 1980s, Chevrolet-Muncie began a long process of layoffs and facility closings. As a result of these struggles, Chevrolet-Muncie's ownership changed several times throughout the late 20th century. In 1984, the plant became part of Detroit Diesel Allison, and two years later, a part of Hydra-Matic. In 1990, General Motors combined Muncie transmission operation with Chrysler Corporation's New Process Gear creating New Venture Gear, Inc. The partnership later dissolved and the company once known as Chevrolet-Muncie closed its doors on March 31, 2006. Many digital images from the Muncie Chevrolet Plant can be found on the Ball State University`s Digital Media Repository Web site. See related materials from SC.703, P.251, MSS.248, and PN.251.

Justice, the camp was located on the Aretus Rees farm southeast of Muncie. The camp opened in 1926 under the direction of Lynn Perrigo.

See also PN.263 P.264 Temple Beth-El Photographs, 1961-2007 The first Jews came to Muncie in 1828; one year after Delaware County was organized as a governmental unit. The first Jewish religious services in the county were held in 1852 at the home of Frank Leon, which was located at High and Howard streets, later to be the location of the Hotel Roberts. In 1885, the first Jewish congregation in Muncie was formally organized. With a membership of 19, the congregation met in members' homes with student rabbis traveling from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati to conduct services.

In 1891, the congregation took the name Beth-El Congregation and met in a building then known as the Delaware (Masonic) Lodge, which was located at the corner of High and Main streets. In 1896, the congregation secured a permanent meeting place at Adams and High streets. This location came to be known as the Hebrew Temple.

In 1901, the congregation dropped to 14, but members continued to maintain Sabbath services with lay leadership and holy day services with visiting rabbis. A new structure was dedicated on December 3, 1922, at the corner of West Jackson and Council streets. Rabbi Maurice Feuerlicht traveled from Indianapolis to give the sermon. Charles Indorf, president of Temple Beth-El, was presented with the keys to the temple. Rabbi Bernard Dorfman, the student rabbi serving at the time, gave the invocation and placed the Torah scroll in the ark.

In 1985, Temple Beth-El celebrated its centennial. In over a century of existence, Temple Beth- El has served the Jewish community of East Central Indiana. Along with providing religious services, the Temple has supported a variety of organizations such as women's and youth groups.
