FOREWORD


Hendricks county will celebrate its ninety-first birthday on December 20, 1914. The eighth General Assembly of Indiana met at Corydon on the first day of December, 1823, and created three counties before the close of the session, among them being Hendricks, the fifty-first county to be organ- ized in the state. The bill creating the county was introduced in the Senate on December 9th and, after passing both houses of the Legislature, was signed on December 20th by Governor William Hendricks, in whose honor the new county was named. The county had been a part of the so-called New Purchase which was secured from the Indians in the fall of 1818, and, pre- vious to its organization, had been under the civil and criminal jurisdiction of contiguous counties.


It is difficult for the people of Hendricks county today to realize the wonderful changes which have come about since the organization of the county. In 1823, Indianapolis was a mere village, with a few log cabins and a population not to exceed two hundred. In fact, the whole population of the state did not exceed one hundred and fifty thousand and practically all of this was south of the present National Road. Not a railroad, canal or improved road of any kind was to be found within the limits of the state and all transportation was confined to the trails through the dense woods and to the streams and rivers flowing into the Ohio and Wabash. The farmer had only two implements, the plow and harrow, which were not operated by hand; he planted and harvested all his crops by hand and frequently had to grind his corn and wheat in the same way. He sheared his sheep and cut his flax, while his good wife took the raw product and made the family cloth- ing. The farmer was his own blacksmith, shoemaker, mason, carpenter and clothing manufacturer and frequently was his own doctor, dentist and lawyer. The division of labor as we know it now was practically unknown to the early settlers of this county.


From a trackless wilderness Hendricks county has come to be a center of prosperity and civilization with millions of wealth, systems of railways and interurbans, schools and colleges, marvelous industries and immense agri- cultural productions. Conditions have changed so much since those early

days that the pioneer of ninety years ago would hardly recognize his own farm today if it were possible for him to see it. The children of these sturdy pioneers cannot realize the hardships which surrounded their forefathers on every hand and the fact that this history of the county records the lives of many of these pioneers gives the volume a value which is hard to estimate. As the years roll by it becomes increasingly difficult to write the early history of the county. The pioneers are nearly all gone; old newspapers, records and valuable historical material are being destroyed each year, and. for these reasons, the task of writing an accurate history of the county becomes more difficult as time passes. It is to be regretted that the facts of our early history have been so meagerly preserved, and, indeed, so carelessly lost, that it is hard to present important features in a satisfactory manner. Hendricks county has suffered in the loss of much valuable data which might throw an interesting light on its early history, a fact which the editor has had forcibly impressed on him several times in the preparation of this volume. To perpetuate the history of this county and to trace and record the social, political and industrial progress of the county from its first inception has been the purpose of the editor.


In covering ninety-one years of history, as this volume tries to do, it is impossible to do full justice to every phase of the county's growth, but it is believed that much valuable data is here preserved which would otherwise have been lost. The personal sketches appearing in the book are full of interesting details which throw a flood of light on the pioneer history of the county. It is our duty to gather in good and enduring form all the stories of our forefathers and portray as truthfully as possible the struggles through which they passed and in this way give credit to the courageous men and women who started this county in such a strong and vigorous manner. The editor and publishers wish to thank the citizens of Hendricks county who have helped in various ways to make this volume possible, not only in the way of contributing historical material, but also because of their financial support without which it would have been impossible to issue the volume.
