She has served two previous seven-year terms as an Arkansas Histo­ ry Commissioner and has been reappointed by the Governor for a third term on the Commis­ sIon. Bobbie has more than 30 years' experience in genealogy and family history, tracing her own lines back to, among other notables, a Mayflower pilgrim and Henry II of England.

Aside from her avocation as a premier genealogist, she managed a very successful career in personnel management with the US Postal Service. Her life partner is Gerald B. "Sonny" McLane, proprietor of McLane Hardware in Hot Springs. Bobbie's leadership in the genealogical field and her extensive con­ tribution of time and energy to AGS is much appreciated. Desmond Walls Allen, 99 Lawrence Landing Road, Conway, AR 72032 Desmond Walls Allen, past-president and a life member of AGS, is the owner of Arkansas Research, a research and publishing company which has produced over fifty books on Arkan­ sas source material.

Carolyn is listed in Who's lWlo in Genealogy and Heraldry. She and James L. Billingsley are the par­ ents of four. Page 2 - Volume 29, Number 1 • March _________________.President's Page As the new president of Arkansas Genealogical Society, I am honored that the membership found me worthy of election to that office - but 1'm experiencing trepidation at the thought of following in office so dynamic a leader as Past-President Desmond Walls Allen! Under her two years of energetic leadership, AGS launched several outstanding and successful projects, including the surname directory, the microfiching of the back issues of The Arlwnsas Family Historian and of AGS publications, and the new Certificates of Arkansas Ancestry. These projects assisted AGS membership to new heights. Desmond was honored for her service at the AGS Fall Seminar. All of us in AGS, including Desmond in her capacity as a member of the AGS Board of Directors, will work at sustaining the positive momentum she has given us. I hope you're all as excited as I am over the new Certificates of Arkansas Ancestry. I've al­ ready begun my application. Although fIlling out the application will take you a fair amount of time and effort, I think you will find it to be worthwhile: not only will you receive a beautiful certificate, but you will be depositing your lineage with AGS, where it will be preserved. As I also discovered, the process of organIzing my research in a coherent fashion was required to fill out the application, and anything that prompts us to improve the organization of our ge­ nealogy should be welcomed. After I file my papers on one ancestor, I plan to submit applica­ tions for several more. Speaking of organizing your genealogical research -- for what purpose do we spend many years and go to considerable expense to trace our family trees, if all of our research just sits there in folders filled with notes decipherable to no one other than ourselves (and sometimes not even to ourselves)? I've found it very helpful to take an hour or so periodically to type out what I know, what I think I know, and what I want to know about a particular family line I've been working on lately.

Government by Judiciary: John Hart Ely's "Invitation" RAOUL BERGER* Professor John Hart Ely's Constitutional Interpretivism: Its Allure and Impossibility' solves the problem of government by judiciary quite simply: the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment issued an "open and across-the-board invitation to import into the constitutional decision pro- cess considerations that will not be found in the amendment nor even, at least in any obvious sense, elsewhere in the Constitution. ' 2 This but rephrases the current view, framed to rationalize the Warren Court's revolution, that the "general" terms of the amendment were left open- 3 ended to leave room for such discretion. By impossible "interpretivism" Ely refers to the belief that constitu- tional decisions should be derived from values "very clearly implicit in the written Constitution"; he labels as "non-interpretivism" the view that courts must range beyond those values to "norms that cannot be discovered within the four corners of the document."'4 But unlike most of his confreres, Ely insists that a constitutional decision must be rooted in the Constitution,5 though he does not explain how extra-constitutional factors can be so rooted.

Sulgrove. Indianapolis grew slowly until the 1850s. Indiana’s largest cities were New Albany and Madison, where the Ohio River facilitat- ed trade. In Indianapolis, the White River was unnavigable, and the planned Central Canal failed in 1939. While the newly built National Road (Washington Street) provided a slightly improved artery for trade, there simply was no reliable way to bring goods to the city or transport them to external markets. During this period W.R. Holloway noted that “business was entirely of a local character. Manufacturing was merely for home consumption.” 1 Early European settlers Some of the city’s earliest European settlers farmed along the north- western reaches of Indiana Avenue and operated mills on the tributaries of Fall Creek.

  • Marion County, Personal Mentions from the Indianapolis Recorder, 1899–1900 E
    Marion County, Personal Mentions from the Indianapolis Recorder, 1899–1900 E. A. Lawson and Kathleen M. Breen The Indianapolis Recorder, the first and longest-running newspaper serving the Black community of Indianapolis, has been digitized on the Hoosier State Chronicles website by the Indiana State Library and IUPUI University Library.1 This online platform provides free access to an extensive collection of Indiana newspapers. Originally, a physical collection of the Recorder was held by the Indiana Historical Society William Henry Smith Memorial Library, which still houses multiple editions in its collection that are accessible to researchers.2 At the turn of the twentieth century, local newspapers effectively served as the leading source of political, economic, and social information to local and regional audiences. Communities relied on the circulation of news stories, social schedules, and political action within their towns or counties to gain insight and education. The newspaper business allowed for the free circulation of press which, subsequently, ignored the journalistic needs of minority communities. Therefore, Black America created newspapers that were curated to its communities of the time. The following list includes five issues of the “Personal Mention” column (December 16, 1899–January 13, 1900) published in the Indianapolis Recorder spanning the couple of weeks before and after the turn of the twentieth century. The “Personal Mention” column brought social events and relationships to the audience’s attention. As reflected, the New Year was marked with glorious parties, like the one at Mr. and Mrs. James Girton’s home, as well as with holiday travels across America. The “Personal Mention” columns can serve academic and family researchers alike, with extensive detail of community happenings.
