TRIBUTE  TO  JUDGE  HOWARD 

The  success  of  the  Pageant  is  due,  largely,  to 
the  enthusiasm  and  hard  work  of  Judge  Howard. 

His  loss  is  felt  deeply  by  his  fellow  workers 
and  all  who  knew  him. 

His  memory  will  remain  with  us,  an  inspira- 
tion. 


FOREWORD 

"The  Reason  Why"  of  the  Pageant 

That  we  may  know  more  of  the  dreams,  struggles,  hard- 
ships and  rewards  of  those  sturdy  pioneers  who  braved  the 
terrors  of  a  new  country. 

That  we  may  enjoy  with  a  fuller  knowledge  the  improved 
conditions  they  left  us. 

That  the  community  may  be  welded  together  in  a  com- 
mon interest,  and  the  work,  so  well  started,  carried 
forward. 

Appreciations 

The  cast  is  so  large  that  it  is  impossible  to  print  the  names 
of  all. 

As  the  success  of  the  production  is  due  in  a  large  meas- 
ure to  their  efforts,  the  people  of  St.  Joseph  Valley  owe  to 
them  their  heartiest  appreciation. 

Thanks  is  also  due  to  all  who  have  furnished  historic 
material,  and  to  the  newspapers  for  their  able  co-operation. 

Note  on  First  Page  of  Programme 

It  has  been  the  aim  of  the  Writing  Committee  to  con- 
form to  history  in  all  important  events  and  details  so  far  as 
records  can  be  found.  However,  many  occurrences  of  great 
length  are  shown  in  the  space  of  a  few  minutes,  and  many 
interesting  happenings  necessarily  have  been  omitted.

A  Bit  of  Indiana  History 


Long  before  the  coming  of  the  white  men  to  the 
beautiful  St.  Joseph  Valley,  different  tribes  of  In- 
dians hunted  and  fought  over  the  ground. 

The  Algonquin  race,  of  which  the  Miamis  were 
a  tribe,  tilled  the  soil,  raising  their  much  loved  corn. 

The  Iroquois  Indians,  warlike  and  barbarous, 
would  not  work  to  raise  grain.  They  were  great 
hunters,  however,  and  to  obtain  the  corn  they  needed, 
either  traded  game  for  it  or  seized  it  by  force. 

Many  of  the  old  roads,  such  as  the  Crumstown 
road  and  the  Chicago-Detroit  road,  were  Indian 
trails.  Many  of  these  trails,  indeed,  were  here  be- 
fore the  coming  of  the  Indians,  made  by  the  buffalo, 
elk  and  deer,  each  being  the  shortest  course  between 
water  holes,  or  routes  taken  by  the  animals  during 
their  migrations. 

The  Pottawatomie  Indians  were  known  as  the 
"canoemen."  They  came  to  the  St.  Joseph  valley, 
near  the  Portage  between  the  St.  Joseph  River  and 
the  Kankakee  River. 


They  were  usually  peaceable  and  had  many 
friends  in  the  village  of  South  Bend. 

It  was  a  sad  time  for  both  the  Indians  and  vil- 
lagers when  they  were  driven,  by  order  of  the  Gov- 
ernment, farther  West.

1675 

Father  James  Marquette  is  one  of  the  most  beau- 
tiful characters  of  history.  He  spent  his  life  estab- 
lishing missions  for  the  "Red  children"  throughout 
the  Middle  West,  and  he  died  when  he  was  only  thirty- 
eight  as  the  result  of  hardships. 

His  headquarters  were  at  St.  Ignace,  on  Macki- 
nac Island. 

Starting  upon  his  last  voyage,  he  left  his  mission 
in  Illinois  with  three  faithful  friends  and  traveled 
north,  either  by  way  of  the  Chicago  river  or  by  our 
own  Portage. 

He  was  very  ill,  and  a  few  days  after  his  passage 
through  this  section,  died  upon  the  shore  of  Lake 
Michigan,  a  little  north  of  St.  Joseph,  deeply  mourned 
by  his  faithful  converts. 

1679 

After  Marquette,  the  next  white  man  to  visit  the 
St.  Joseph  valley  was  LaSalle. 

He  hoped  to  find  a  way  through  the  continent  to 
the  Pacific  Ocean,  that  his  French  King  might  trade 
direct  with  the  Orient. 

He  followed  the  Great  Lakes,  coming  down  Lake 
Michigan  and  turning  up  the  St.  Joseph  river.  With 
him  were  about  thirty  priests,  carpenters  and  an 
Indian  guide. 

Snow  was  falling  and  they  missed  the  Portage, 
the  Indian  guide.  White  Beaver,  being  away  hunting. 

LaSalle  landed  and  walked  nearly  to  Osceola  look- 
ing for  the  Portage. 

Later  LaSalle  made  a  treaty  with  the  Miami 
Indians  that  was  of  great  value  to  all  the  French  set- 
tlers in  America. 

He  understood  the  Indians  well  and  always 
showed  rare  good  judgment  in  his  dealings  with 
them. 

Charlevoix  came  in  1721  and  found  the  Potta- 
watomies  here.

1779 

About  this  time  General  George  Rogers  Clarke 
captured  Kaskaskia,  and  with  Father  Gibault,  took 
possession  of  Vincennes. 

Fort  St.  Joseph  was  located  on  the  east  bank  of 
the  St.  Joseph  river  between  Niles  and  South  Bend. 
It  was  a  British  fort. 

1763 

When  the  land  east  of  the  Mississippi  was  lost  to 
France,  by  the  treaty  of  1763,  the  Spanish  sent  an 
expedition  up  from  St.  Louis  and  stormed  and 
burned  Fort  St.  Joseph. 

The  spot  is  now  marked  by  a  great  boulder. 

1794 

Little  Turtle,  the  Miami  Chief,  at  war  for  many 
years  with  the  whites,  finally  was  defeated  by  Gen- 
eral Anthony  Wayne. 

1800 

Indiana  Territory  was  created  in  1800  and  Wil- 
liam Henry  Harrison  was  made  Governor.  Tecum- 
seh  and  his  brother,  the  "Prophet,"  made  their  head- 
quarters at  Prophet's  Town,  Indiana,  near  Lafayette. 

1810 

In  1810,  with  about  fifty  warriors,  they  met  Gov- 
ernor Harrison  in  council.  Tecumseh's  speech  was 
eloquent  in  behalf  of  his  injured  red  brothers,  who 
were  being  crowded  further  west. 

1811 

A  year  later  General  Harrison  defeated  the  In- 
dians in  the  Battle  of  Tippecanoe. 

1815 

Joseph  Bertrand  was  the  first  white  settler  to 
remain  in  the  St.  Joseph  valley.  He  married  Made- 
line, the  daughter  of  Chief  Topinabee.

Scene:    South  Bend 1820 

Pierre  Frieschutz  Navarre  enters  on  horseback, 
trades  with  the  Indians,  meets  a  daughter  of  a 
chief  from  Pokagon's  village. 

They  are  joined  by  Joseph  Bertrand,  his  wife, 
Madeline,  and  her  father.  Chief  Topinabee. 

Navarre  marries  the  chief's  daughter  in  the  Indian 
way. 


Indiana  Centennial  Celebration 

1820 

Pierre  Frieschutz  Navarre  was  the  first  white 
man  to  settle  in  South  Bend.  His  home  was  on  the 
north  side  of  the  St.  Joseph  river,  near  the  Michigan 
Street  bridge.  His  cabin  stands  in  Leeper  Park 
today. 

He  established  a  fur-trading  post.  He  was  a  fish- 
erman, too,  and  caught  many  of  the  great  sturgeon 
which  ascended  the  St.  Joseph  river  from  Lake 
Michigan. 

He  married  an  Indian  girl. 

1816 

On  April  19,  1816  Congress  passed  the  Enabling 
Act,  authorizing  the  people  of  Indiana  to  form  a 
State  Government. 

On  June  29,  1816,  the  Constitutional  Convention 
at  Corydon  adopted  the  Constitution. 

In  December  of  the  same  year,  Indiana  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  Union. 

In  this  same  year  the  father  of  Abraham  Lincoln 
moved  to  Indiana  with  his  wife  and  two  children. 
They  were  very  poor. 

The  young  Lincoln,  a  few  years  later,  worked  on 
a  river  boat  going  into  New  Orleans.  It  was  here 
that  he  received  his  first  impressions  of  slavery. 

1823 

Alexis  Coquillard  came  here  a  young  man  of  22. 
He  located  a  trading  post  on  what  was  then  called 
Dragoon  Trace,  now  Lincoln  Way  East.  Later  he 
moved  it  to  the  northeast  corner  of  LaSalle  Avenue 
and  Michigan  Street. 

His  home  was  a  spacious  log  cabin  and  was  long 
used  as  a  trading  post,  a  residence,  the  town  hall  and 
court  house. 

Here  the  first  ferry  boats  crossed  the  river. 

Mr.  Coquillard  was  a  man  of  great  vision,  and  we 
owe  much  of  South  Bend,  as  it  is  today,  to  his  broad- 
mindedness  and  foresight.

Over  the  valleys  and  hills  I  go. 

With  my  pack  on  my  back  and  my  seeds  in  my  sack. 
Planting  the  orchards,  and  God  makes  them  grow. 

Heigh  ho,  heigh  ho ! 

2.  Sun  and  wind  and  hail  and  snow; 
Winter  and  summer,  my  orchards  grow. 
When  the  settlers  come,  wherever  they  roam. 
They'll  find  in  the  wilderness  bits  of  home. 

Heigh  ho,  heigh  ho! 

3.  With  my  pack  on  my  back,  heigh  ho,  heigh  ho ! 
Over  the  valleys  and  hills  I  go. 

With  my  pack  on  my  back  and  my  seeds  in  my  sack. 
Planting  the  orchards,  and  God  makes  them  grow. 

Heigh  ho,  heigh  ho !

Sung  by  F.  C.  Koos.

1827 

A  little  later  Col.  Lathrop  M.  Taylor  worked 
shoulder  to  shoulder  with  him,  both  giving  freely  of 
themselves  to  better  conditions  for  those  coming  after 
them. 

Alexis  Coquillard  married  Francis  Comperet,  the 
nineteen-year-old  daughter  of  his  partner,  in  Ft. 
Wayne.  He  brought  her  here  a  year  after  his  first 
coming. 

Across  from  the  fur-trading  post  came,  in  time, 
the  first  newspaper  office,  that  of  the  Northwestern 
Pioneer,  South  Bend,  at  that  time  was  called  "South 
Hold." 

Father  Badin,  the  first  priest  to  be  ordained  in 
the  United  States,  came  here  about  1830  or  1831  and 
worked  faithfully  at  the  mission  of  Notre  Dame  "of 
the  Lake."  When  the  Indians  were  ordered  west,  he 
followed  them. 

Father  Badin's  protege  and  interpreter  was  an 
intelligent  young  Indian  girl  named  "Waceta." 

When  it  became  known  that  the  Pottawatomie 
Indians  were  to  be  sent  farther  west.  Father  Badin 
sent  for  a  young  Indian  friend  named  John  Peash- 
way.  Waceta  and  Peashway  fell  in  love,  were  mar- 
ried by  Father  Badin  before  his  departure,  and 
settled  in  South  Bend. 

Jean  Beaudoin,  the  young  Frenchman  who  had 
come  in  Coquillard's  party  was  in  Wisconsin  about 
this  time. 

He  stopped  in  an  Indian  wigwam  in  the  tribe  of 
Chief  "Black  Hawk." 

"Black  Hawk"  had  been  given  orders  to  move  his 
tribe  across  the  river  toward  the  west  and  away  from 
their  fields  of  corn  which  had  not  yet  ripened. 

In  revenge,  he  planned  to  raid  the  frontier  and 
massacre  all  whites,  including  the  villagers  of  South 
Bend. 

Jean  Beaudoin  started  at  once  on  his  mission  of 
warning  the  whites.  He  ran  160  miles,  his  trip  made 
more  difficult  by  a  broken  arm.

Having  no  strength  to  go  around  the  great  Kan- 
kakee marsh  when  he  reached  it,  he  made  his  way 
through  it  in  the  night,  probably  the  first  white  man 
to  find  his  way  across  the  marsh. 

The  heroic  run,  which  cost  his  life,  was  in  vain, 
for  Black  Hawk's  raid  was  shortlived  and  ended  long 
before  he  reached  South  Bend. 

A  three-cornered  fort  was  built  for  protection 
against  the  Indians.  The  fort  was  located  upon  the 
plot  of  ground  west  of  the  standpipe,  bounded  by  the 
streets  that  are  now  called  Lincoln  Way  East,  Jeffer- 
son and  St.  Joseph.  It  was  surrounded  by  a  stockade 
of  split  logs  eight  or  ten  feet  long,  and  furnished  very 
good  protection. 

1842 

Father  Badin,  Father  Petit,  Father  de  Seille  had 
all  worked  faithfully  with  the  Indians  and  settlers, 
here  and  at  the  mission. 

Now  came  Father  Sorin;  that  man  of  courage 
and  vision  and  unfaltering  faith. 

His  dream  was  to  build  a  great  University  from 
the  humble  mission  at  the  lake,  and  he  and  his  little 
band  had  need  of  hardyhood,  as  well  as  courage,  for 
they  had  almost  no  money,  and  only  a  tiny  log  hut  for 
protection,  though  the  winter  was  a  most  severe  one. 

A  few  years  later,  fire  wiped  out  a  large  part  of 
their  buildings,  and  one  winter,  disease  destroyed  a 
large  number  of  their  band. 

Their  trials  have  been  many  but  the  fruit  of  their 
labors  is  the  beautiful  University  as  it  stands  today. 

The  Sisters  of  the  Holy  Cross,  with  self  sacri- 
ficing devotion  have  reared  beautiful  and  far-famed 
St.  Mary's. 

Father  Sorin  was  instrumental  in  bringing  St. 
Mary's  Academy  from  Bertrand  to  its  present  site. 

1830 

In  New  Carlisle  the  first  Methodist  Church  of  the 
country  was  organized  with  eight  members.

InniANA  Centennial  Celebration 

Mishawaka  is  composed  of  several  tiny  hamlets, 
that  were  called,  respectively,  "St.  Joseph  Iron 
Works"  (vi^here  James  Oliver  worked  as  a  lad). 
"Barbee  town"  and  "Indiana  City,"  the  latter  having 
been  the  settlement  on  the  north  side  of  the  river. 

The  Sisters  of  the  Holy  Cross  were  at  one  time 
located  in  Indiana  City. 

Bogg  iron  was  discovered  just  south  of  the  pres- 
ent Mishawaka,  and  the  iron  works  located  nearby. 

It  was  said  by  Alexis  Coquillard  that  the  name 
Mishawaka,  meant  "rapid  water  between  wooded 
banks." 

Alanson  M.  Hurd  is  generally  regarded  as  the 
founder  of  Mishawaka,  althought  Wm.  L.  Earl,  A.  B. 
Judson,  Deming,  Crocker  and  many  others  advanced 
the  interests  of  the  early  town  in  every  possible  way. 

The  history  of  Mishawaka  is  one  of  industry  and 
progress.  Many  amusing  incidents  are  told  of  the 
old  days. 

Today  Mishawaka  stands,  busy  and  progressive, 
a  testimony  to  the  public  spirit  of  its  citizens,  past 
and  present. 

It  is  possible  that  the  great  fire  of  1872,  which 
wiped  out  the  business  district,  and  which,  at  the 
time,  was  considered  a  great  disaster,  was  in  reality 
a  spur  to  the  combined  effort  of  the  community,  and 
therefor,  of  lasting  benefit. 

Mishawaka  is,  without  doubt,  the  most  beautiful 
town  of  its  size  in  the  country,  which  has  manufac- 
turing as  its  industry.  Located  as  it  is  in  the  lovely 
St.  Joseph  valley,  it  is  a  gem  in  a  beautiful  setting. 

1840 

About  the  year  1840,  Mrs.  Tyra  Bray,  of  South 
Bend,  angered  at  her  husband's  neglect  of  business, 
on  account  of  politics,  and  his  failure  to  keep  her 
supplied  with  firewood  on  ironing  day,  decided  to 
take  a  half-day  from  work  every  week  "to  enjoy  her- 
self and  learn  something."  She  was  joined  in  her 
high-minded  purpose  by  thirteen  other  women  known

as  "The  Society,"  and  for  some  months  they  shocked 
the  village  by  their  weekly  gathering  in  idleness  to 
read,  sing,  chat  and  lunch  together.  One  afternoon 
they  walked  to  Mishawaka  to  hear  a  political  speech, 
to  the  consternation  and  shame  of  all  their  men  folks. 


We  come  to  you  from  the  vanished  years. 
When  our  task  was  to  toil  and  scrub. 
We  are  those  rebellious  pioneers — 
The  original  Woman's  Club. 

We  bore  our  part  with  cheerful  heart, 
At  wheel  and  loom  and  tub, 
But  we  took  a  day  to  steal  away 
And  enjoy  the  Woman's  Club. 

Our  neighbors  judged  with  a  judgment  harsh. 
They  gave  us  many  a  snub, 
But  we  looked  away  to  this  far-off  day, 
When  you  honor  the  Woman's  Club. 

— Song  by  Mrs.  E.  B.  Harris. 

The  years  preceding  the  Civil  war,  found  South 
Bend  building  saw  mills,  grist  mills  and  the  first  dam, 
a  semi-public  utility. 

In  the  early  days,  currency  was  very  scarce.  The 
dam  was  built  largely  by  subscription  and  as  the 
usual  commodities  used  for  barter  were  furs,  honey, 
sassafras,  beeswax,  etc.,  other  means  had  to  be  found 
for  building  the  dam. 

The  citizens  paid  their  subscriptions  in  labor,  and 
manufacturers,  mechanics,  professional  men,  labor- 
ers and  farmers  worked  side  by  side  until  the  dam 
was  completed. 

We  owe  much  of  South  Bend's  industrial  import- 
ance to  the  sturdy  and  public  spirited  men  who  built 
the  first  dam. 

1841-1845 

From  New  Carlisle  came  our  most  illustrious  citi- 
zen, Schuyler  Colfax,  who  in  1845,  became  the  editor 
of  the  South  Bend  Free  Press,  later  known  as  The 
St.  Joseph  Valley  Register.

Indiana  CENXENNiAr,  Celebration 

In  a  short  time  the  paper  gained  powerful  and 
widespread  influence. 

Mr.  Colfax  served  many  terms  in  Congress  and 
became  vice-president  under  Grant. 

1849 

About  this  time  gold  was  discovered  in  California 
and  during  the  next  ten  years  many  expeditions 
were  fitted  out  to  go  West. 

The  first  ones  were  called  "The  Argonauts". 
Mules  and  oxen  and  horses  drew  the  crude  prairie 
schooners,  and  while  great  hardships  were  endured, 
many  interesting  happenings  relieved  the  months  of 
tedious  travel. 

The  Michigan  road  was  the  main  highway,  and 
although  the  bog  holes  were  treacherous  in  rainy 
weather  and  the  sand  deep  at  other  times,  much 
shipping  was  done  over  it. 

Great  keel  boats  were  poled  up  and  down  the 
river,  carrying  out  skins,  grain,  maple  sugar  and 
lumber  and  bringing  to  us  in  return  coffee,  guns, 
dry  goods  and  manufactured  articles. 

1851 

The  coming  of  the  first  railroad  made  great 
changes  in  the  business  life  of  the  settlers. 

The  keel  boats  were  now  useless.  The  Michigan 
and  Chicago-Detroit  roads  were  no  longer  of  first 
importance.  The  stage  coach  as  a  means  of  travel 
ceased  to  exist. 

The  locomotive  of  the  first  train  was  called  the 
"John  Striker"  and  was  greeted  by  the  largest  crowd 
ever  seen  in  the  St.  Joseph  valley  up  to  that  time. 

The  "Underground  Railroad,"  famous  during 
the  period  leading  up  to  the  war,  came  north  through 
South  Bend.  Many  thrilling  escapes  of  the  slaves  to 
Canada  are  remembered  by  pioneers. 

South  Bend  water  supply  is  fine.  The  water  is 
clear  and  cold  and  pure.

TWBNTT-ONI 


Indiana  Centennial  Celebbaiion 

The  finding  of  the  great  underground  flow  was 
considered  a  most  fortunate  circumstance  by  the 
early  settlers. 

When  it  became  necessary  to  put  in  a  pumping 
station,  there  were  under  consideration  two  systems 
for  producing  pressure.  The  Holly  system,  vouched 
for  by  J.  M.  Studebaker  and  the  Standpipe  system 
devoutly  believed  in  by  Leighton  Pine. 

The  excitement  ran  high  and  all  South  Bend  took 
sides  with  one  man  or  the  other. 

The  standpipe  system  was  accepted,  much  to  the 
disappointment  of  Mr.  Studebaker. 

So  small  was  his  faith  in  the  system  that  he 
wagered  a  cow  that  it  could  not  produce  a  stream 
strong  enough  to  drive  him  from  the  cupola  of  the 
Studebaker  factory. 

The  force  was  sufficient,  however,  and  he  was 
compelled  to  make  a  hasty  descent. 

In  justice  to  Mr.  Studebaker,  it  should  be  stated 
that  a  short  time  ago,  South  Bend  adopted  the  direct 
pressure  system  so  dear  to  his  heart. 


"FORWARD,  NOT  BACKWARD" 

And  so  we  come  to  the  end  of  this  Story  of  One- 
Hundred  Years. 

As  people  of  Indiana  and  as  citizens  of  St.  Joseph 
county,  we  stand  upon  the  threshold  of  a  new  century. 

We  have  looked  upon  the  past  with  pride  in 
achievement;  we  cannot  but  face  the  future  with 
new  sense  of  responsibility. 

It  is  now  for  us  to  make  our  record  a  worthy  con- 
tinuation of  that  we  have  just  perused. 

St.  Joseph  county  has  its  part  to  play  in  the  Indi- 
ana of  the  future  and  we,  as  citizens  of  St.  Joseph 
county,  have  upon  us  the  duty  of  building  a  common- 
wealth worthy  of  the  noblest  part. 

We  are  aided  by  every  advantage. 

Ours  is  a  county  not  only  of  rare  beauty,  but  of 
endless  opportunity  —  attributes  which  bespeak  for 
her  continued  growth  and  prosperity.

Our  population  is  growing  rapidly. 

Our  agricultural  methods  have  become  modern- 
ized. 

Our  manufacturing  industries,  already  "world- 
famed,"  are  multiplying. 

Our  education  and  public  recreation  systems  are 
widely  praised. 

Two  noble  colleges  further  associate  our  name 
with  progress  along  the  higher  lines. 

And  a  splendid  scheme  of  Civic  and  Community 
Center  organizations  is  uniting  our  population  in 
spirit  and  in  aims  as  it  never  before  was  united. 

One  must  compare  the  present  with  the  past  to 
realize  our  progress.  In  1840  there  was  not  a  mile 
of  good  turnpike  in  the  state. 

New  Harmony  fostered  the  first  woman's  club  in 
the  country  and  developed  our  educational  laws  in 
advance  of  our  sister  states. 

An  enlightened  Hoosier,  serving  in  the  State 
Legislature  sixty  or  more  years  ago,  recommended 
that  Criminal  Laws  must  be  made  with  regard  to 
reformation  and  not  vindicative  justice. 

A  hundred  years  has  seen  the  "circuit  reader" 
making  his  lonely  rounds ;  tiny  churches  replace  the 
meetings  in  homes  and  school  houses,  and  large 
churches  take  the  place  of  the  small  ones. 

But  this  is  not  so  much  the  time  to  boast  of  past 
and  present  as  to  look  to  the  future. 

For  we  have  problems  as  well  as  prosperity. 

Empty  is  the  fame  of  him  who  wins  his  laurels 
but  to  rest  upon ;  for  tomorrow  they  may  be  stolen. 
But  glorious  is  the  name  of  him  who  endeavors  his 
own  records  to  supersede;  his  laurels  are  ever 
renewed. 

Never  must  we  develop  the  sluggard's  content, 
but  must  grow,  rather,  in  the  spirit  which  will  lead 
us  "to  see  ourselves  as  ithers  see  us" — 

And  forever  to  court  the  Unrest  of  Constant 
Striving.
