intendent and he successfully conducted the school for several years. Captain Harris was also associated with Mr. Shockley and Mr. Foley as teachers during the war. Later, the school was moved to the new school building in the west part of the city and the old room in the Masonic hall was turned into a theatre. The hall was used for this purpose until 1897.
The building now looks as it always did, with the exception of a few modern advertisements on its walls. The third floor at the time of the com- pletion of the new Masonic Temple was rented to the Red Men, who remained there until March, 1899. The second floor has recently been used by the Eagles, who now own the building, and it is said to be one of the most attractive rooms of the order in the state. During the history of the build- ing a number of men have rented the first floor for business rooms. Among the earlier were Freeman H. Crawford, druggist ; J. J. Hauck, grocer; John Crush, meat market; Henry Chapman, tinner; S. W. Barrett, stoves and tin- ware and Hart Brothers, stoves and tinware. The first floor is now occupied by M. T. Willett, grocer, and Floyd Spangler, phimber.
MUSIC, BANDS, ORCHESTRAAS, ETC
Among the early music teachers in the county were Miss Lucinda Mor- ley. Miss Emma Millikin, Fannie Martin and Narcie V. Lockwood. They were all piano teachers. The first two probably taught at Greenfield as early as 1850. Miss Morley probably brought to town a piano of her own, since there were then very few such instruments in the homes of the people at that time. Among thie first families to own such an instrument in the county were John Myers, Thomas D. Walpole, Dr. N. P. Howard and Samuel Longnaker. Miss Martin and Miss Lockwood had charge of the musical department in the old Greenfield Academy during the latter fifties and early sixties.
About the same time, during the latter fifties, Prof. L. W. Eastman also came to Greenfield as an instructor of bands and orchestras. The first bands organized in the county were the Men's Saxhorn Band and the Ladies' Sax- horn Band, at Greenfield. These bands were both under the direction of Professor Eastman. The first saxhorn band was organized by Thomas Offutt and William E. Hart, about 1857. This is the band referred to by Riley as the "old band." It was composed of the following members: L. W. Eastman. E-flat cornet ; William Lindsey, tuba; Nathan Snow, second tenor : S. War Bennett, first tenor : Nathaniel C. Meek, first alto; William E. Hart. B-flat cornet; Thomas Richardson, second alto; Thomas Offutt, B bass : William E. Ogg, third tenor ; John .A. Riley, bass drum.
John Riley may have been rather young to be included as a charter mem-

ber of the band, but it is known that he played with them soon after their organization. Other members were taken into the band, and at the outbreak of the Civil War it enlisted as the regimental band of the Eighteenth Regi- ment of Indiana Volunteers. The report of Adjutant-General Terrell shows that at the time of enlistment the band was composed of Omer Arnold, Samuel W. Barnett, F. M. Crawford, James E. Cravens, James H. Crowder, William Elliott, AAlbert C. Griffith, William E. Hart, John W. Lambertson, Edwin MI. McCrarey, Samuel M. Martin, John H. Noble, William L. Ogg. Martin E. Pierson, Thomas E. Richardson, James T. Reed. Henry T. Snow, Nathan Snow, James F. Stewart, Alfred M. Thornburgh and David Youst. Pro- fessor Eastman was still the leader of the band. The boys were honorably discharged in the fall of 1862, and on their return home were given a hearty welcome at the Dunbar corner by the citizens of Greenfield. The Dunbar corner was the the northeast corner of Main and State streets, where Johnson's drug store now stands.
In 1859 a ladies' saxhorn band was also organized, composed of the following ladies, as nearly as can be remembered at this time: Laura Guy- mon, Ella Mathers, Nellie Millikin, Luna Meek, Fannie Martin, Flora Howard and Alice Thomas. This band seems to have played but a few years. It took part in concerts that were given at Greenfield, of which we have at least a few programs preserved. It is interesting to observe on these pro- grams the prominence held by small musical instruments. Few piano solos were included. Vocal classes, however, took part, and flutes, guitars and brass instruments were used chiefly. Following is an illustrative program that was given at the Masonic hall in Greenfield on Friday evening, July 4. 1861:

After the return of the Saxhorn Band from military service a number of its members re-enlisted as volunteers. A band was maintained, however, at Greenfield, and for several years its name appears in the local papers as the Greenfield Cornet Band.
THE ADELPHIANS.
In 1868, during the political campaign, a band was organized of the older players, including also a number of younger musicians, which styled itself the Adelphians. This band was composed of the following members, as nearly as they can be determined at this time: James Cox, driver; William Davis, Ed Millikin, War Barnett, Thomas Carr, Charles Warner, Jesse Mil- likin, Isaac Davis, John Davis, John Guymon, Fred Hafner, Emsley Wilson, Hiram Riley and John Riley.
The band had a good equipment of uniforms, band wagon, etc. The band wagon was made by Joe Cartwright in a shop that stood at the northwest corner of Noble and Main streets, where Doctor Larimore's residence now stands.
In addition to the players named above, James Whitcomb Riley. Clint Hamilton and Fred Beccher occasionally played. Riley and our present mayor, Quin Johnson, had the snare drum for a time. Charles Warner, an old German shoemaker, at first carried the bass drum, after which it was taken by Quin Johnson. After a season with the bass drum, the mayor took the snare drum and played it for a number of years in the bands that followed.
656
HANCOCK COUNTY, INDIANA.
The Adelphians maintained their organization for almost ten years. although the membership was constantly changing.
CITIZENS' BAND.
In 1871 a number of the younger boys organized a band known as the Citizens' Band. At first they styled themselves the Juniors, but later a con- stitution and by-laws were adopted and placed on record in the office of the county recorder of Hancock county, on October 20, 1871. The members of the new organization, as shown by the record, were J. R. P. Johnson. James H. Danner, Hiram Kern, Peter Johnson, W. E. Willett, J. B. Rains, J. Q. Johnson, E. B. Shumway, J. M. Chappius, B. F. Barr and H. G. Amick. This band was the first to purchase a set of upright instruments. The older bands had all used the "over shoulder" horns.
The boys played for awhile under the direction of Dewitt Sivey. Isaac Davis and probably others. After two or three years, the Citizens' Band and the Adelphians were merged and were known as the .Adelphians. This was probably about 1874. The band then played for several years and gradually became known as
THE DAVIS BAND.
During the early eighties it was composed of the following members : Isaac R. Davis, Thomas Carr. John Davis, Charles Davis, Abijah Davis, Penn Bidgood, Geatano Ponti. Quin Johnson and Frank Barr.
Isaac R. Davis, the leader of this band, was an accomplished musician. He was not only the leader of the Greenfield Band for a number of years. but was a band teacher, and instructed a number of the best bands in central Indiana. His home band, as well as the New Palestine Band, which he tanght, and others, played during several seasons of the Indiana state fair at Indianapolis. One need but refer to the histories of the bands in the county to appreciate his influence in the development of musical talent among the young men during the seventies and eighties.
The Davis band remained in existence until 1889, when the remnants of this band and the "Citizens'" or "Sivey's" band consolidated. Among the later additions to the Davis Band were William R. White, William Carr. George Mitchell, William Offutt, Frank Hammer and probably others.
DEMOCRAT BAND.
In 1884, a "Democrat Band" was organized, largely through the efforts of William M. Lewis. It was organized for campaign purposes and included
657
GREENFIELD.
the following members: William M. Lewis, Asa New, William Wright, George Mitchell, John Johnson, James W. Wilson, William Stewart, Joe Darymple, Walter Scott, Dewitt Sivey and Jeff. Cox. The band played through the campaign of 1884. though a reorganization was probably effected before the campaign closed. Either gradually, or after reorganiza- tion, the band became known as the
CITIZENS' BAND.
Dewitt Sivey was the leader and organizer of the band, and at different times it was known as "Sivey's Band," "Sivey's National Band" and as the "Citizens' Band." Among the members who played in the band at different times were: Dewitt Sivey, Ed Sivey, J. W. Wilson, Will Carr, William Wright, Emory Scott, Jeff Cox, Elsworth Goble, William Stewart, Ed Tague. William Tully, Clint Sivey, Thomas Carr, Owen Shumway, Frank Hammer. Charles Nigh, "Stover" Nigh, William Gordon, Homer Carr and probably others. On August 19, 1884, James W. Wilson presented to the band a ban- ner, made of blue silk and bound with heavy gold fringe. Gold tassels were artistically arranged at the corners. On the front of the banner was inscribed in beautiful gold letters (the work of Will H. Carr) the words, "The Green- field Cornet Band." On the other side was a collection of musical instruments in gold leaf. To the banner was pinned a gold maltese cross with the follow- ing inscription : "Presented to the Citizens' Band by J. W. Wilson, August 19. 1884." The banner was presented by Mr. Wilson in a very neat little address and was accepted on behalf of the band by William Wright. This banner was carried by the band for a number of years. The "Citizens" or "Sivey" band wore neat uniforms with belts, and cartridge boxes in which to carry their music.
THE DOBBINS BAND.
In the meantime, about the middle of the eiglities, a third band was organized, known as the Dobbins Band. Among its members were Charles Williams, Emanuel and John Dobbins, Jeff Cox, William Shumway, Ed Jackson, Ed Tague. John Hafner, William Tully, Charles Nigh, and probably others. This band played less than a year, but during its existence there were three bands in Greenfield; the Davis Band, the Sivey Band, and the Dobbins Band. After the Dobbins Band quit playing, the Davis Band and the Sivey Band remained as separate organizations until 1889, when their remaining members consolidated. During the existence of both hands there was a great deal of rivalry, not always friendly.

After consolidating, the band played until 1894, when, the Red Men's lodge having been organized. and nearly all the boys having joined the lodge, the band was reorganized as the
RED MEN'S BAND.
William R. White became the leader of the new band at this time. Among its members were William Carr, Emory Scott, William Stewart. Alvin Johnson, Charles Millicent, William Jones, William Gordon, Omer Gordon. William Offutt, John Felt. J. Ward Fletcher, and probably others. The band was known as the Red Men's Band until about 1897, when another reorganiza- tion was effected under the name of the
GREENFIELD MILITARY BAND.
The band has been known by that name to the present. William R. White has been its recognized leader since about 1894. and is the leader at this time. Among the members who have played in it at various times are : William R. White. Aubrey M. Thomas, William Niles, Von Glascock, .Albert Frost, Eher Gorman, Noble Curry, Homer Carr. William Gordon, Will Lamberson, William Jones, William Carr, William White, Charles Davis. Carl Brand. Dora Jeffries, Jesse Warrum, Malcohn Hancock, John Davis, Arthur Rafferty. Fritz Bidgood. J. Ward Fletcher, Frank Craft. Merle Glas- cock, Fred Niles, Charles Gilson, Marvin Fletcher, Samuel Moore, Samuel Trueblood, Noble Howard, Earle Frost, Charles Wisehart, Charles Rucker. Tesse Rucker, Henry Rucker, Virgil Wheeler. Thomas Moxley, Albert Bar- nard. James Barnard, Joe Reedle. George J. Richman, Emory Scott. Berry Willis Cooper, Berlin Dieter, and no doubt others.
Of the above. Carl Brand, a grandson of Isaac R. Davis, has achieved distinction as a clarionet player. For the past year or two he has been the leader of the Indiana University Band, which in the meantime has been selected as the regimental band for the Second Regiment, Indiana National Guard
In addition to the above named bands, Professor Mack, the supervisor of music in the Greenfield schools, organized a band about 1895-6, which. however, played only a few months. He also organized a cadet band among the high school boys, which played for awhile, about 1897.
ORCHESTRAS.
The Davis hoys also had an orchestra at different times during the seventies and eighties. About 1903. William R. White organized an orches-

tra composed of the following members : William R. White, Samuel J. Offutt, Jolm A. Rhue, Albert Frost, William L. Niles, Von Glascock, William Carr, Fritz Bidgood, Bynum Jackson, George and Oscar Suess, Hugh John- sond and J. Ward Fletcher. The organization was kept intact for five or six years, and from 1903-07 played for practically all the common and high school commencements in the county.
LITERARY SOCIETIES, CLUBS, ETC.
The first literary society that was organized in Greenfield, of which our oldest residents have any recollection, was a society of young men known as the "Dark Lyceum." This society was organized in the very early history of the town, when Andrew T. Hart was a young man. It is known that the society gave entertainments, including songs, readings, elocution, etc., but whether they were public or private is not remembered.
The next society, of which we do have a record, was known as the "Thespian Society." From the announcement of their first exhibition the following lines are taken : "The society announce that their first grand exhi- bition will take place on Friday evening, April 1, 1859, at Thespian Hall ( O.Id Fellows' Hall). The object of the society is to improve themselves in elocut- tion and produce such pieces as will instruct as well as amuse the people, and they sincerely hope their humble endeavors may be crowned with success."
The first evening's entertainment consisted of the presentation of a domestic drama entitled "Toodles." Those participating in the play were S. M. Martin, Barnett and Meck, J. M. McKinnie. Mr. O'Bryon. T. H. Offutt. E. S. Duncan, W. L. Ogg. E. B. Atherton, W. E. Hart, Miss Brace ard Miss Craddock. The evening's entertainment was concluded with "The Burlesque Tragic Opera (in one awful act), replete with operatic gems, thrilling imper- sonations, terrific combats, imposing marches, etc., entitled General Bom- hastes Furioso,' presented by O'Bryon, S. M. Martin, N. B. Meck and Miss Parkhurt." J. L. Mason was manager. J. L. MeKinnie, acting manager, and Mr. O'Bryon, stage manager.
A second entertainment was announced to be given on Friday evening, April 15. 1859, under the same management. The following statement of the success of the first entertainment is given on the announcement of the second exhibition : "The unbounded enthusiasm with which the first exhi- bition of the Thespian Society was received by the fashion, the elite and the respectability of Greenfield has induced the management to announce a second exhibition, to take place on Friday evening, April 15. 1850, at Thespian Hall."
The evening's entertainment consisted of the presentation of two dramas.
660
HANCOCK COUNTY, INDLIN.A.
"The Limerick Boy" and "The Golden Farmer." The first was presented by Bryan C. Walpole, F. M. Crawford, S. M. Martin, William E. Hart, S. W. Barnett, Miss Smith and Miss Brace; the second, by J. M. McKinnie, Bryan C. Walpole. F. M. Crawford, S. M. Martin, T. H. Offutt. M. V. McConaha, W. E. Hart, E. S. Duncan, E. B. Atherton, Miss Holland, Miss Brace and Miss Rounder. Doors opened at seven o'clock; exhibition com- menced at seven-thirty. Admission, fifteen cents.
During the Civil War several societies were organized and gave enter- tainments, as may be observed both in the Literary chapter and the chapter on Education.
About 1870 a dramatic club was organized and named "The Adelphi." The members were known as "The Adelphians." This organization was kept up for several years, and gave plays at the old Masonic hall. The mem- bers were James Whitcomb Riley, Lee O. Harris, George A. Carr, S. War Barnett. A. Ford. E. P. Millikin, Jesse Millikin. George B. Cooley, O. N. Ridgeway, John J. Skinner, H. McGruder, A. C. Hamilton, Mrs. Nellie Cooley. Misses Angie Parker, Mary Dille, Kate Geary, and probably others whose names cannot be recalled. The club was a prominent feature in the literary life of the town. The plays produced were of high dramatic rank, and the company endeavored to present them with all possible excellence. Many of the members showed marked dramatic ability. Here the poet Riley got his first experience in histrionics, in which he excelled. Not only did he show talent in that line, but all the stage scenery used in the plays was de- signed and painted by him. The citizens showed great interest and appreci- ation, and the Adelphians always played to crowded houses. Many of the members were also connected with the Adelphian Band.
111 1875 a "Reading Room Society" was organized, which gave a series of entertainments. It was this society which promoted the Knightstown- Greenfield spelling match, that has been discussed elsewhere.
In 1878 George Knox and a group of his associates also organized a colored debating society, etc.
On January 10, 1879. the Greenfield Reading Club was organized, with twenty-four charter members. Its first officers were Miss Belle Reed, presi- dent ; W. Frank Hays, vice-president : W. P. Bidgood, secretary; member- ship was limited to twenty-four.
In the same year the social influence of the saloon was offset by the temperance workers by the establishment of reading rooms. "The Blue Ribbon Reading Room .Association" was organized at Greenfield on April 2, 1879, with the following officers: Nelson Bradley, president: F. E. Glidden.

first vice-president ; Mrs. Inez Lyon, second vice-president ; G. T. Randall, treasurer ; H. B. Thayer, recording secretary ; Dr. L. A. Vawter, correspond- ing secretary. This society opened a reading room at the Guymon house, on the northwest corner of Mount and Main streets, that should be attractive and that should offer pleasant associations for the young men of the town.
WOMEN'S CLUBS.
Beginning with the eighties, more definite and more systematic work was undertaken, which replaced in a large measure the activity of the literary and reading room societies of the previous two decades. The first woman's club organized in the county was the
CHAUTAUQUA LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC CLUB.
This club was organized in 1880 with the following charter members : Mesdames Dr. N. P. Howard, Charles Downing, Mary Swope, Edwin Howard, Lemuel Gooding, Samuel Martin, D. B. Cooper, Ephraim Marsh, Elbert Tyner, Malissa Cooper, Jerome Black, George Cooper and M. H. Gant, Misses Elvira Gooding, Lena Banks, Viola Banks, Etta Holstock and Ada Anderson.
It took up the Chautauqua course of reading, which extended over a period of four years and from which the members graduated upon satisfac- tory completion of the four-year course of reading. The Chautauqua Lit- erary and Scientific Club was maintained for ten years or more. Following this a number of clubs were organized, the first of which was
THE IONIAN CLUB.
The lonian Club, so named in honor of its founder, Mrs. Ione Brown Black, had its beginning on December 17, 1888. Who the charter members were is not of as much importance as the purpose they had in mind. The club's motto, "We taste an intellectual pleasure twice, and with double the result when we taste it with a friend," covers the sole reason for its inception and its continuance.
In the beginning there was no organization and no definite plan of work other than the reading of new books. The first bock studied was "Robert Elsemere." The small group of women gave one afternoon of each week to an informal discussion of some book which all were reading, and since free- dom of speech was encouraged, much collateral information was forthcoming. When the private libraries of club members became inadequate, they fer- quently took the long carriage drive to Indianapolis to consult the city library.
662
HANCOCK COUNTY, INDIANA.
Interesting discussions of one of Dumas' stories turned the club's atten- tion to things foreign, and for four years its members enjoyed a most profit- able study of French history and literature. No other one subject received a like amount of attention.
Many of the club's charter members were young mothers and for several years its meetings were held on the outskirts of an inner circle of small children. Some of these children, mothers now in their turn, are among the present active members.
With the enlarging of its membership the club was organized under the name of the Woman's Club. The history of country after country was studied. Sometimes an entire year was devoted to an author, as Tennyson; and two were given to a study of Browning. In 1913 they took the work of the Chau- tanqua Reading Circle and are in the third year of their four-year course at this time ( 1915).
TIIE HESPERIAN CLUB.
The Hesperian Club was organized. October 17, 1889, at the home of Mrs. N. P. Howard. Sr. The new society gave some time to the consideration of a name that might be worthy of the company of ladies. The name of "Hes- perian" ( western star ) was finally proposed by Mary Vawter and adopted. The club was organized with twenty charter members, five of whom are now living : Mrs. Elbert Tyner, Mrs. W. H1. Scott. of Yakima, Washington, Mrs. Permelia Thayer, Mrs. Clara Strickland and Mrs. Angie Howard.
The Hesperian Club was the third literary club organized in the city. Its purpose was the social and intellectual advancement of its members. During the first seven years of its existence it lived a Bohemian life mentally. The members listened to Rienza as he addressed the Romans: followed by Victor Hugo, Sir Walter Scott and other eminent authors through interesting scenes and incidents in Egypt, Scotland, Ireland and other foreign countries Fin- ally they landed on the good American shore the year previous to the Workl's Fair at Chicago, that they might more fully understand and appreciate the beautiful White City. Since then they have gone abroad again and traveled! with Stoddard over many foreign points of interest. Later, the Bay View Reading Course kindly guided them to places and themes of interest. profit and pleasure.
Many beautiful and impressive events have been given by the club. Among them was a Bohemian tea, observance of tenth anniversary on Novem- ber 11. 1899. in the parlors of the Columbia Hotel, with all literary clubs as guests ; Greenfield day, with Mrs. John Mitchell, in which all of the city's

poets, composers and artists were discussed and quoted : "The Lullaby of Na- tions," with Mrs. Minnie Thayer.
