  • 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.

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.

  • TOMORROW's CANOPY Please Help Us Plant and Nurture 200 Trees At
    TOMORROW’S CANOPY Please help us plant and nurture 200 trees at Crown Hill Cemetery Newsletter of the Crown Hill Heritage Foundation 2015-2016 Dear Friends of Crown Hill, Less than half an inch long, the emerald ash borer wields powers that belie its size. At Crown Hill, this invasive insect pest has decimated 344 trees. To protect historic struc- tures, family mausoleums, grave markers, cemetery and public roads, and, most, importantly, visitors to the ceme- tery, we must remove the trees that have fallen prey to this infestation. The loss of these magnificent, stately old trees diminishes the cemetery’s nat- ural beauty, and will have far-reaching ramifications beyond the great expense of removing them. The Crown Hill Heritage Foundation’s “Tomorrow’s Canopy” initiative will help ensure that future generations continue to reap the aesthetic and quality-of-life benefits that Crown Hill’s urban forest and tree canopy provide. The inaugural phase of “Tomorrow’s Canopy” will plant 200 trees to commemorate Indiana’s Bicentennial. “Tomorrow’s Canopy” holds urgent importance in fulfilling Crown Hill’s mission to preserve and celebrate the architectural, cultural, and natural heritage of the city’s oldest urban green space. In these newsletter pages, you’ll learn more about the problem “Tomorrow’s Canopy” addresses, the solution, and the need. It’s a cause that deserves your support. Crown Hill Cemetery is a unique and special treasure in the heart of Indi- anapolis. Our trees form a key component of the cultural landscape we pro- tect. Through “Tomorrow’s Canopy,” we ask for your help in preserving Crown Hill’s scenic wonders and their contribution to our community’s habitat.

This issue of the Journal for the Liberal Arts and Sciences bears such an aspect, as it features articles which speak to a variety of history writing approaches. Traditional historical narrative typically sets out to add new knowledge about a historical event and/or era—the so-called “filling in of the gaps.” In other cases, it may “set the record straight” or offer a new angle to an older accepted narrative.
