The association is known as the Fayette Sanitarium Association. The directorate consisted originally of seven trustees, made up of a representative of each of the following organizations : The Commercial Club, the Fayette County Medical Society, the Masons, the Loyal Order of Moose, the Fraternal Order of Eagles, the city council and the county commis- sioners. Improvements were necessary for the buildings and E. W. Ansted proposed to deed the building and grounds to this association and accept five per cent. first-mortgage bonds for the consideration of the transfer. Mr. Ansted's proposition was accepted and the grounds and buildings be- came the property of the Fayette Sanitarium Association on November 10, 1914.
Front the time Mr. Brown took charge of the Fayette sanitarium it bid fair to become a popular and helpful institution for Connersville. At the end of two years of his management it was felt that a larger and more complete hospital must be provided for the needs of Connersville, and in the latter part of 1915 and early in 1916 the demands became so pronounced that committees were appointed to formulate plans to provide for more commodious and up-to-date quarters for Connersville's sick and unfortunate. Appeals were made to the county commissioners for appropriations for the building of a county hospital, but owing to the large expenditure then being made for the new county infirmary this body felt they could not make such an appropriation. Not to be daunted by the decision of the commissioners to assist the project, the hospital soliciting committee at once laid plans for a campaign to raise the necessary funds by public sub- scription. The campaign opened in June, 1916, but it was not until the latter part of that mouth that an event occurred which really put the cam- paign forcefully before the people of the county.

MR. ANSTED STARTS BALL ROLLING.
It was on June 26, 1916, that the chairman of the hospital committee received the following letter :
Mr. C. C. Hull,
Chairman Hospital Committee, City.
You perhaps know I have long been interested in onr present hospital and sani- tarium. In connection with the movement to appropriate funds for the erection of a new hospital I beg to advise that I will donate to the good of the cause all of the mortgage bonds that I hold on the Fayette sanitarium. These bonds represent the full valuation of all buildings and two hundred fifty feet of ground on Virginia avenue. The only stipulation that I ask is that the citizens of Fayette county raise in subscription the sum of thirty-six thousand dollars. I feel that this is the least amount of money that you should have to carry the project through in a creditable way. This offer holds good until August 15, 1916.
Yours truly.
E. W. ANSTED.
The announcement of this . munificent gift of twelve thousand dollars' worth of property by Mr. Ansted to the people of Fayette ; counity so inspired the soliciting committees that on July 5, the closing day of the centennial celebration of Indiana's statehood, the committee had pledges to the hospital fund to the amount of more than twenty thousand dollars and were ready to guarantee the fulfillment of the requirements of Mr. Ansted in the announcement of his gift. It was at eleven o'clock on July 5. 1916, that appropriate dedicatory services were held on the ground of the old Ansted homestead announcing the certainty of a splendid hospital for Con- nersville and Fayette county and naming it the Fayette Centennial Memorial Hospital.
APPROPRIATE DEDICATORY CEREMONIES.
It was at the above-mentioned time and place that a large number of Fayette county's citizens gathered to witness the brief but beautiful cere- monies attending the dedication of the hospital. E. P. Hawkins spoke of the magnitude of the gift and F. B. Ansted, son of E. W. Ansted, delivered to the hospital committee the bonds delivering the property free of debt. C. C. Hull, as chairman of the hospital committee, accepted the gift; B. F. Thiebaud accepting as chairman of the board of trustees for the hos- pital association, and Mrs. W. E. Ochiltree accepting in behalf of the women's associations of the city. The donor, E. W. Ansted, was present
182
FAYETTE COUNTY, INDIANA.
and was deeply moved by the exercises, as he heard the kindly and apprecia- tive expressions of his friends and neighbors.
After the dedicatory services had been completed and Mr. Ansted had returned to his palatial home on Central avenue he was given an ovation by his neighbors and friends, who were so filled with gratitude toward him for liis part in so great an enterprise that their feeling had to be manifested in outward expressions.
From the time the hospital project assumed definite form to this time (February 1, 1917) the subscription fund has steadily grown until it is now about forty thousand dollars. The centennial celebration committee donated nearly one thousand dollars to the fund, the amount left after all the expenses of the celebration were paid. The building committee has accepted plans and the work of constructing a magnificent hospital that will care for forty patients will soon be realized. This work was all made possible by the greatness of one man's soul and the ready response of the good people of Fayctte county, for in this movement there is no community in all the county that has not had a definite part in this benevolent enter- prise.
It is in truth and in deed the people's hospital- which is as Mr. Ansted would have it. The man in the factory, the farmer, the merchant, the banker, the manufacturer, the man and woman of every walk and vocation of life, all have done nobly in lending substantial aid to this much needed institution.
The main structure will cost forty thousand dollars; the interior fix- tures and equipment, seven thousand five hundred dollars. The women of the city and county, through their various organizations, propose to raise the means for the greater part of the interior fixtures and equipment. The building is to be made of brick, trimmed with Bedford stone, and will have every advantage in the way of appointments shared by our most elaborate and up-to-date hospitals. Every foot of space will be utilized for some practical purpose, and the people of Connersville and Fayette county will have, in October, 1917, one of the most beautiful, useful and complete hospitals in the Hoosier state.
POPULATION STATISTICS.
Fayette county was organized about a year before the 1820 federal cen- sus was taken and consequently figured for the first time in the returns for that decade. There was a rapid influx of people into the territory now
ยท
183
FAYETTE COUNTY, INDIANA.
included within the county in the spring and summer of 1819. In October, 1818, the United States government had bought all the central part of the state from the Indians and opened it ready for settlement, Fayette county being the first county organized out of a part of the "New Purchase." The 1820 census returned a population of 3.950 for the county and each decade since year has shown an increase. The returns for the ten decades follow : 1820, 3,950; 1830. 9,112: 1840, 9,837; 1850, 10,217; 1860, 10,225: 1870, 10,476; 1880, 11,394; 1890, 12,630; 1900, 13,495; 1910, 14,415.
The first census available which made returns by townships was in 1850. At that time Fairview township was not yet organized, its territory still being a part of Orange and Harrison townships. It first appears in the census of 1860, and its organization out of Orange and Harrison partly explains the sharp decline in the population of Orange and Harrison townships in 1860. A comparison of the population of the nine townships between 1850 and 1910 reveals the fact that every one but one, Harrison, has suffered a decline. The small increase in Harrison is fully explained by the fact that the city of Connersville has extended its limits into it. In 1850 the rural population (that is, the total outside of Connersville city) was 8,921 ; in 1910 it was only 6,677, a decrease of 2,244. It is said that some of the townships in the county actually had a larger population in 1830 than they do today, but in the absence of statistics this fact cannot be proved. The following table exhibits the population by townships from 1850 to 1880:

Of the total population of 14,415 in 1910, 7.150 were white males and 6,824 white females; 210 colored males and 230 colored females; and one Chinese. Practically all were native-born citizens, only 363 being returned as foreign-born. The total population was made up of 3.761 families, occupy- ing 3.647 dwellings.
NATURALIZATION OF FOREIGNERS IN FAYETTE COUNTY.
The population of Fayette county includes very few citizens of foreign birth. The extensive manufacturing interests of Connersville have not attracted the foreign element as has been the case in so many other cities of the state, the owners preferring native Americans to the illiterate workman from foreign shores. The few foreigners in the county are a good, sub- stantial class of citizens and make a valuable acquisition to the citizenry of the county. A study of the naturalization records of the county discloses the fact that since 1904 there have been only twenty-four citizens who have become naturalized, and most of these were in presidential election years. In 1904 there were eight and there were no more until 1908. In the latter
185

year there were six who declared their intention of becoming citizens, thereby allowing them the right to vote, but only one who hecame a full-fledged citizen. Since 1908 the record stands as follows: 1909-First papers, 3: full citizenship, 1. 1910-First papers, 2; full citizenship. 2. 1911-First papers, 12: full citizenship. 12. 1912-First papers, 7; full citizenship, o. 1913-First papers. 5 : full citizenship. 2. 1914-First papers, 4; full citizen- ship, I. 1915-First papers. 1; full citizenship, 3. 1916-First papers, 8; full citizenship, I.
CHAPTER VI.
OFFICIAL ROSTER OF FAYETTE COUNTY.
The first official on the records in the office of secretary of state at Indi- anapolis which is credited to Fayette county is that of justice of peace. For some reason, and presumably because it was known that the county was just about to be organized, Governor Jennings issued a commission as justice of peace to Richard Tyner on December 25, 1818, although it was not until three days later that the General Assembly passed the act creating the county. From that date there is a record of most of the county officials on file in the secretary of state's office. The commissions of all justices of peace are also on file, because the office is provided by the Constitution. For the purpose of preserving to the people of Fayette county this record from the secretary of state's office the full record up to 1852 ( the period of the 1816 Constitu- tion) has been copied and is given verbatim. There is also an occasional entry of court matters and they are likewise given.
In many cases it is impossible to decipher the names; in other instances there is no indication as to when the officer was to assume the office for which he was commissioned; in still other instances it is impossible to tell whether an appointee is following a deceased, resigned or removed official. The first record on Fayette county is the commissioning of a justice of the peace on December 25, 1818. three days before the bill for the creation of the county was signed by the governor. The record is given by years.
