  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

Various reasons for these removals have been given by history writers. Some of the reasons usually found include the following: Because of Black Hawk's War the settlers were afraid of the Indians and wanted them removed; in order to build canals and roads the Indians' lands were needed; the removal of the Indians was a natural result of the popu- lation increase in Indiana; the Indians were removed because of trouble which developed between the races; and so on.

  • Notes Concerning Brookville, Ind., a Century Ago* by AMOSW
    Notes Concerning Brookville, Ind., a Century Ago* By AMOSW. BUTLER,LL.D., Secretary State Board of Charities IT IS my purpose to speak of Brookville as it was a hun- dred years ago. What I am to say is from reminiscences of my grandfather, Amos Butler, and the notes of my father, William W. Butler, of Hadley D. Johnson and others of the older inhabitants. It is my belief that they are substantially correct, though there may be some discrepancies. My grandfather, Amos Butler, a native of Chester county, Pennsylvania. was the first settler of Brookville. He came to its site in 1803 or 1804. The latter year he located and en- tered the land east of Franklin street and north of the sec- tion line running through Dr. Berry’s office. His cabin was built about 100 yards northeast of the Hermitage. The site of it has been washed away. His nearest neighbors were the Templetons north toward Templeton’s creek. He built the first grist mill about where Speer’s flour mill stood and above it a short distance a saw mill. He brought his mill irons and mill stones €rom Cincinnati on pack horses. Several per- sons came with him to assist in the work, among whom was David Stoops with whom he lived. He was the father of Rob- ert Stoops, Sr., who was the grandfather of Harry M. Stoops. David is said to have been the father of twenty-three children. Wild animals were plentiful. My grandfather used to sleep in the mill. His companion was a little dog.

    SKETCHES OF EARLY INDIANA SENATORS-(111) WIL LIAM HENDRICKS, 1825-1837 By NINAKATHLEEN REID, A.M., Attica ILLIAM HENDRICKS was born at Ligonier, Westmoreland W county, Pennsyll-ania, November 12, 1782. He received his education in the common schools at Cannonsburg, having as class- mate Dr. Andrew Wylie, who later became president of Indiana University. When he reached manhood, Hendricks left Pennsylvania for Cincinnati, Ohio, where he stayed a year or two, studying law. -After being admitted to the bar, he came, in 1813, to'Madison, Jef- ferson county, which remained his home until his death.' When Hendricks came to Indiana he was without friends, money, or patronage, but he immediately got into politics. He had brought with him a printing press and soon commenced to publish a weekly paper, the Madison Western Eagle. Through this paper he became well known and soon made his way into politics. Indiana was at that time still a territory, and to the Territorial General Assembly which met at Corydon November 1, 1813, Hen- dricks \\.as elected to represent Jefferson county in place of William McFarland. who had resigned. He was also territorial printer for this, the second session of the Fourth General Assembly, printing the Acts of the Assembly at the office of the Western Eagle at Lex- ington.* He represented his county in the special session of June 1, 1814, aad again in the first session of the Fifth Assembly, August 15, 1814, to September 10, 1814, when he was elected Speaker. At the second session of the Fifth Assembly, he served as clerk of the House.

The State had its share of the romantic and chivalrous adventures per­ taining to the dawn of Western history, its share in the encounter with a savage race, in the self-sacrifice of pioneer days, and the heroic patriotism of the war periods. Following this, it had its decades of social and material development, common to the Middle West. It is a goodly land, most advantageously located, and always ready for its part in the national responsibilities. The history of Indiana's past is the story of her fast vanishing frontier life and the gradual changes which come in meeting modem conditions. The differences in social life broaden so rapidly in' this country, that later generations take a keen pleasure in pages that preserve the scenes and experiences of those earlier days. Unless it is often retold, the memory of heroic en­ deavors grows dim.
