HISTORICAL SKETCHES
BRIEF SKETCH OF OAKWOOD PARK
Previous to 1892, camp-meetings were held here and there over the confer- ence district. But there was then a growing sentiment among many members in the conference to have a permanent "Camp-meeting Ground" in the Conference, as was Maple Grove, near Huntingburg, in the South Indiana Conference. See Vol. I. There was also usually a loss to the conference by way of freight expenses, breakage, and wear and tear in shipping the camp-meeting tabernacle outfit from place to place. The city people of our church, especially, keenly felt the need of an annual outing, and desired a place where religious and Evan- gelical atmosphere prevailed for spiritual edification, and for physical recreation. To meet this necessity and to keep especially our young people under our own Evangelical "Figtree", or influence, care and instruction, the Indiana Conference,

on April 9, 1892, acted upon this matter as follows: "Resolved that the presiding elders of this conference be a committee of three to ascertain the advisability and practicability of securing a permanent camp-meeting ground, centrally lo- cated in the conference. Also at what cost a suitable place can be secured, and report the result of their inquiry to the next annual session." This committee was D. Martz, Pres .; D. S. Oakes, Vice-Pres .; C. F. Hansing, Sec .- Treas. No report to the next session is found in the Conference minutes, but the instruc- tion was carried out. The real instigators of such a movement were And. Kra- mer and C. Hirschman of Indianapolis. These with Hansing met at Wawasee Lake, joined by John Riddle and Frank Ott, and selected the place and induced the purchase.
In 1893, "Conklin Hill", on the west shore of the beautiful lake, Wawasee,
265
INDIANA CONFERENCE
in Kosciusko Co., Indiana, was bought by the "Oakwood Park Company", from W. J. Fredrick, for the sum of $5,000.00, and was christened as "Oakwood Park". after the trees that mainly cover this park. The property contains 40 acres of land, more or less. There is a valuable fruit orchard, some tillable land, and about 15 acres in a grove. A few years later the above named Park Company transferred the entire park over to the Indiana Conference to which it has be- longed since. The grove slopes first rather sharply from the hill top where stands the hotel and then gradually to the lake, eastward. When it was pur- chased, the hotel on the hill, a barn, and an ice-house constituted the buildings.
Conklin Hill had not an enviable reputation as a summer resort. Its patron- age was drawn from a class of people who imbibed intoxicants freely with con- sequent behavior. The Lord's Day was desecrated freely here by the unde-

sirables of the lake region. The great change wrought by the transfer of owner- ship was much appreciated by civil authorities and the community in general.
As a Conference we may congratulate ourselves that the purchase of the park was made at that time, and the price at which it was secured, for it is doubtful if it could have been bought a few years later for a religious assembly ground. The park was then beautified by removing the undergrowth, and by gradually filling in the low places in the lake-front. The ascent from the lake- front to the top of the hill was about 100 feet. A large part of the hill was gradually removed, the top soil for filling low places, and the sand and gravel for building purposes and gravel road construction.
The first camp-meeting here was held in August, 1893. A large canvas tabernacle was set up on a natural decline towards the pulpit platform on the
266

east end. Canvas tents dotted the grounds, furnished with either straw or board floors. The ground was first lit up with gasoline lights, but these have given way to electric lighting. The dining-hall and kitchen were built to the south of the tabernacle which have since been in use, being enlarged. The sec- ond story was provided with sleeping rooms. After the experience of a number of severe wind and rain storms, tabernacle and tents were supplanted by a well built wooden tabernacle and permanent cottages, and dormitories. Lots were bought and summer homes built. At present writing there are about fifty such cottages and summer homes. The park now contains the lake-front hotel, the large pavilion, a chapel, to which Mrs. Kath. Hettler was a large contribu- tor as she was to many other enterprises for park improvements, a dining-hall. the hotel on hill, several dormitories, the superintendent's home, a water pump- ing station, many cottages, and fine two-story summer homes, besides new bar:1,

garages, fishing and boating equipments, cement walks through the park and down to lake-front, a sea-wall, a large tennis court, croquet grounds, etc.
From the first the meetings were well attended both by our church folk and community people. Disturbers also attended at first so that alert police supervision was needed, and coercion had to be exercised a few times. It be- came necessary to charge a gate-fee for two purposes, to keep a certain rabble element away, and to obtain some means to make park improvements. The Oakwood Park management at this time had no money to make improvements. It trusted in the faithfulness and financial support of the laity and pastors who attended the meetings, and gate-fees, and incomes from the boarding depart- ment, lodgings, and boatings, and sale of park lots. So of necessity improve-

ments were slow but sure, because the policy of the park authorities was not to "contract debts without a well founded probability of being able to pay them". Many expressions of appreciation came to them from considerate people for the improvements that were made as rapidly as they were with the meagre means at hand. True, not a few freely offered criticism for slow progress as they de- clared, but usually they came from such as gave little financial support. Since 1895 the Oakwood Park treasurer's report on expenses, as culled from the con- ference journals to 1923, totals nearly $98,000.00. This is expenditures for the construction of hotel, dormitories, cottages, pavilion, chapel, dining-hall, walks, sea-wall, fillings, road-building, lights, wells, taxes, garages, building and buying

boats, superintendent's home, camp-meeting and conventions, current expenses, etc., etc. At this time the park is free of debt. Some money was borrowed in 1924 to build the "Kimmel Hall". To a considerate mind these achievements are indeed marvelous for most of the improvements came from proceeds during camp-meetings and conventions held here, and from personal contributions.
In 1896 a terrific wind and rain storm swept over this ground during a camp-meeting, and tore down the tabernacle and many housing tents, and left many occupants of tents thoroughly soaked. Other storms swept over this encampment but with no loss of life. This showed the feasibility of building cottages, and a wooden tabernacle to inspire confidence and to bring the people here. In 1898 the first tabernacle, 60 x 90 fect, was designed by D. D. Spangler and constructed from funds largely contributed by local Y. P. A.'s. The minis- ters of the conference formed a "working-bee", socalled, and constructed it. Its cost, exclusive of labor, was $1500.00. H. Steininger, Y. P. A. president,

did much initial work to secure the funds. In 1899 a board floor was laid follow- ing a suggestion by Mrs. Kath. Hettler of Fort Wayne, Ind., who gave a liberal sum for this purpose. The canvas tabernacle had been seated with planks and a few canvas seats. The wooden tabernacle was seated with comfortable pews made by the ministers. May 22, 1914, this tabernacle was consumed by fire, with all its contents, including a very interesting framed record of contribu- tions by local Alliances for the first tabernacle. Many trees were also destroyed. Immediately a new octagon pavilion with a seating capacity of 1200 was con- structed. The ministers once more, and some laymen, rallied and gave their muscular forces and good will, and skillfully reared it. To their credit, let it be said, a goodly force of pastors' wives most generously served as cooks during the construction of this pavilion. The Park trustees were in supervision. This

pavilion was dedicated in August, 1914. People freely contributed of their means on this day for this new building. costing approximately $5,000.00. A few years later a small chapel was built N. W. of the pavilion for special meetings, and has proven to be a splendid asset to the Park equipment for convention work. It cost about $2,000.00. Many hill-side meetings have also been held between the pavilion and hotel on the hill, the vesper services being especially blessed seasons. Men who served as superintendents of this park were: J. M Rogers, 1893-97; C. W. Hansing, 1898; H. Steininger, 1899-1901; D. D. Spangler, 1902-03; Leo. Graffenberger, 1904-05 to Oct .; A. E. Weyrick, 1905-09; P. W. Soltau, 1910-19; Mr. Skedgel, 1920; and P. W. Soltau again, 1921-23.
Many precious souls were converted on this ground. Many reconsecrated their lives here to God and to the church, and decided for some special work in

Oh, beautiful for silver waves, For whitecaps rolling high,
Thy sandy beach for tender feet, The boats thy waters ply, Oh, Wawasee, Lake Wawasce,

We come for good to old Oakwood,
To gather sacred store.

HAVEN HUBBARD MEMORIAL OLD PEOPLE'S HOME
God's rich provision is promised to His own in His Word and His faith- fulness demonstrated in the history of His church people. "And God feedeth them", and, "Shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith", was spoken for the pledge of care for His own. On the Cross, Jesus said, "Son, behold thy mother",-thy charge, to keep the rest of her days. In like manner there is committed to the care of the church, the dependent and the homeless aged people who having contributed their years of service to society, are yet left without shelter and the deserving comforts for old age. Nor is the church left helpless to meeting this charge. God touches hearts and hands, and turns them as "the streams in the southland", to be opened for the supply of His needy ones as the following will illustrate:
Some years ago the Lord put it into the heart of Mr. Haven Hubbard, a sturdy son of toil, of New Carlisle, Indiana, to provide a Home for dependent aged persons. God's signal blessing was upon his parents in the accumulation of earthly store, and graciously rewarded his own prudence in administering this bestowed trust. But Mr. Hubbard died before his plans could mature. He was blessed with a prudent helpmeet, who had found salvation in our Evan- gelical Church in Oak Park, Illinois, under the labors of Rev. M. Hoehn. He often discussed this scheme enthusiastically with his companion, and pictured to her the building and grounds, as they were visioned by him. In all of these plans she was in happy accord with her husband. But before their well con- ceived plan could mature, the hand of Death intervened and Mr. Hubbard died. After much thinking and planning, she consulted with Bishop S. P. Spreng, and E. G. Johnson, her pastor. She accepted the suggestion that she convey the farm to the Corporation of the Ebenezer Old People's Home in New York, by deed. This was in the year 1920. Sister Hubbard had faith in the church of her choice and generously deeded the farm to the aforesaid corporation.
The farm consists of 704 acres of choice land in St. Joseph County, 21/2 miles from the town of New Carlisle, and 13 miles from South Bend, the metrop- olis of northern Indiana. There is a beautiful residence standing in a grove of sugar trees, farm houses, barns, silos, grain elevator, corn crib, pump-house, etc., connected thercwith. There are also several tracts of fine timber. Thc one consists of 80 acres of native timber and the two of good second growth of smaller area. The whole farm is well worth $175,000.00.
The trustees of the Ebenczer Old People's Home incorporated this pro- posed Home under the laws of the state of Indiana, and took over the property, which now "belongs absolutely by warranty deed" to the trustees of the "Haven Hubbard Memorial Old People's Home of the Evangelical Church". The Gen- cral Conference which met in Detroit, Michigan, October, 1922, gratefully ac- ccpted the gift, and assumed the responsibility of financing this institution
271
INDIANA CONFERENCE
which was then under construction. This addition to the church is near the center of population of the United States, which is in Central Indiana. As Mt. Zion,
Haven Hubbard Memo al Old People's Home
the ancient home of the Psalmist David, was "beautiful for situation", so it can truly be said of this Old People's Home, though it is not standing on an eminence, it is standing on one of the finest farms of northern Indiana. Indeed
272
HISTORICAL SKETCHES
the location is ideal for aged and homeless people, where everything that assures comfort is supplied. This place is 21/2 miles N. E. of New Carlisle, Indiana, near the Lincoln Highway, and in close proximity to the main line of the N. Y. Cen- tral R. R., and the Chicago L. S. and South Bend R. R., and the South Bend and Northern Indiana Electric Lines, hence easily accessible from east and west.
The trustees agreed to her proviso, namely to erect a suitable building on this farm to accommodate from 70-100 people, and that the same be ready for occupancy by August, 1923. The construction work began early in 1922, in order to keep faith with the generous donor. May 5, 1923, the Home was dedicated with an impressive service by Bishop S. P. Spreng, assisted by Bishop J. F. Dunlap. The members of the Indiana and Michigan Conferences, which at this time were in session, were present in large numbers with a large number of the laity from both conferences.
The building was planned with much care. In the erection the best material and workmanship entered into it. It is equipped throughout with modern conveniences, and is ample to give homes for a hundred people, or more. The building has a frontage of 246 feet exclusive of verandas. It has a depth of 441/2 feet. To the rear is an 85-foot wing, the building is thus in the shape of a "T". The central part of the first floor contains the superintendent's quarters, reception room and the office room; to the right and left of these are 35 guest rooms, opening into the corridor, at either end of which is a sitting room adjoining a spacious veranda. The first floor in the wing contains the dining hall, kitchen, pantries, storage and stock rooms. The second floor is reached by three stairways. This floor also has 35 guest rooms and corridor and two sitting rooms. In the wing of this floor is a beautiful chapel. There is a large attic space which can be converted into additional guest rooms when required. Both floors are completely equipped with bath and toilet rooms, supply and serving rooms. There is a basement under the entire building con- tining the boiler and fuel rooms, pumping room, vegetable cellars, trunk room, refrigerating plant, bakery, laundry, work shop, and wood and coal rooms.
The exterior of the Home is of Saraband Chinchilla brick, with Bedford stone trimmings and slate roof. The interior throughout is finished with southern gum and hard maple floors. The water is supplied from two wells, pumped by two high-pressure electrically driven pumps, discharging the water into two large steel pressure storage tanks. The boiler, fuel, laundry, bakery, and coal storage rooms are all fire-proof. The home is further protected by fire hose, and fire extinguishers conveniently placed throughout the building. There are also two large storage cisterns to supply soft water to kitchen and laundry. The building is heated by the Modulated Vapor Steam System. For front and side elevation see picture. The premises are beautified with flower hr-ds, trees, shrubs, and crescent driveway.

The general contract for the construction of the building was awarded to Kuehn and Jordan of South Bend for the sum of $99,000.00. Freyermuth and Maurer were the architects. The heating plant was installed by the A. J. Moser and Co., Berne, Indiana, for $8,470.00 The plumbing was done by John Distler of Mishawaka, Indiana, for $9,092.00. The electric wiring by Colip Bros. of So. Bend, for $1,481.00. The electric fixtures, and hardware was let under separate contracts. The electric current is secured through the Indiana and Michigan Electric Co. Through C. L. Hartman of Indianapolis, the furniture was ob- tained at cost price. Total cost of the Home, including all equipments, furnish- ings, etc., was about $160,000.00. A saving of $25,000.00 to $30,000.00 was realized by building at this time, 1922.
The district of the church to which the home has been alotted for privilege and maintenance are the following conferences: Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and the two Illinois. The following is the board of trustees: Pres., Bishop S. P. Spreng; V .- Pres., E. G. Johnson; Sec'y, G. W. Fredrick; Treas., E. F. Kimmel; Wm. Womer, C. L. Hartman, J. W. Harpster, W. H. Watson, J. C. Schafer, E. C. George. D. D. Spangler is the Supt. and S. H. Baumgartner the solicitor of funds. The executive committee consists of the officers of the trustee board, Wm. Womer, and Mrs. Armina Hubbard. The Indiana Conference assumed $50,000.00 towards the construction of the Home, which amount is now secured in cash and pledges. Other conferences assumed no definite amount to this date, but doubtless will.
There were 30 needy ones the first year who applied for admittance to the comforts of this institution, and found the open door and the hand of welcome. The ministry in physical comforts and spiritual needs is theirs daily, for as the daily bread is set before them at stated hours so is the worship at stated hours daily. The life of the home breathes the atmosphere of the heavenly home. One has been translated to the home above. One was dismissed.
