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.

Born February 7, 1801, in Augusta, New York, Butler moved with his family to Indiana in 1817. After practicing law in Shelbyville from 1825 to 1836, Butler moved to Indianapolis where he practiced law until 1849. His law partner of eleven years, Calvin Fletcher, considered himself blessed to have such a partner, and called Butler “a man of strict integrity great dilligence & integrity” (Diary of Calvin Fletcher, vol. 3, p. 198, Saturday, October 11, 1845). Although ill health led Butler to retire from his law practice in 1849, his involvement in a variety of civic causes continued. Butler was an active supporter of the antislavery movement. In 1848 he was elected as vice president of Indiana’s Free Soil Party, and backed the Free Soil Banner, a campaign paper for the party. -

The Founding of Butler University, 1847-1855 Henry K. Shaw* Butler University at Indianapolis was the first institution of higher learning among the Christian churches (Disciples of Christ) to originate by action within the ecclesiastical structure of the denomination. Known as North Western Christian University for many years, it came into existence through the concerted effort of the Christian churches of Indiana. This religious body was fairly well established in the state by 1847, when the idea of a college was conceived. If the only known printed statistics are correct, there were some 300 churches with 19,914 members at the time. A church publication lists 130 preachers, but most of these were preach- ing laymen and not settled pastors.’ The denomination began in Indiana through the merging of dissident factions of Regular, Freewill, and German Baptist (Dunkard) congregations into the Campbell move- ment, which had its beginnings in western Virginia and northern Ohio, and the Stone movement, which had its origin primarily with former Presbyterian congregations in Ken- tucky. Since Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone had similar objectives and a common program and since repre- sentatives from both groups had made a declaration of formal union at Lexington, Kentucky, in 1832, it was natural that these two “frontier” religious bodies should join forces in Indiana. Stone’s followers were called Christians and their churches, Christian churches. Campbell’s followers were called Reformers and Disciples. The name “Disciples of Christ” was preferred by Campbell to designate his movement. In Indiana, churches originating from both groups took the name, “Christian churches.” There was little or no organized structure within the denomination at first, simply independent congregations hold- * Henry K. -

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. -

Crown Hill Walking Tour of Indianapolis' Bicentennial Notables
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.
