DR. E. H. ANDERSON, LIBRARIAN, IS DEAD
Retired Director of New York System Introduced Several Advances in 21
Years
Dr. Edwin Hatfield Anderson, director emeritus of The New York Public
Library died Tuesday night in Evanston, Ill., where he was visiting a
daughter, Mrs. A. James Behrendt, according to word received here
yesterday. His age was 86.
A distinguished scholar as well as librarian, Dr. Anderson was director
of the library here for twenty-one years until his retirement in 1934.
Of late he had lived at Williamsburg, Va.
Under Dr. Anderson the public library made great strides in the
promotion of learning in general, the professional education of
librarians and the increase in the volume of books lent to the public.
The number of branches and of books in the main building and branches
increased greatly during the Anderson administration, as did the number
of visits by the, public to the various buildings.
The main library at Forty-second Street and Fifth Avenue, opened two
years before he became a director in 1913, was visited yearly just
before his retirement by from 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 persons and the
branches by many millions more Books issued annually by the
library’s circulation department at that time numbered more than
10,000,000 and reference volumes consulted annually totaled over
4,000,000.
Chose Scholars for Staff
One of Dr. Anderson's contributions was his appointing to the library
staff able librarians who were also scholars, in contrast to the custom
of some head librarians in other cities of appointing persons who were
primarily scholars and were unfamiliar with library procedure. His
ability to select and train personnel was so outstanding that he
trained many presidents of the American Library Association. He himself
was a former president of that body.
Dr. Anderson organized the Library School of the New York Public
Library and played a major part in its consolidation with the New York
State Library School to form the Columbia School of Library Service in
1926. He was largely responsible for the formation of the staff of the
reference department of the library here.
Born in Zionsville, Ind., son of Philander and Emma A. Duzan Anderson,
he was graduated with an A. B. degree from Wabash College in 1883. He
held honorary degrees of M.A. and Litt. D. from Columbia University,
honorary L. H. Ds from Wabash and New York University and an honorary
Litt. D. from Carnegie Institute of Technology.
Dr. Anderson studied in the New York State Library School and worked as
a cataloguer in the Newberry Library, Chicago, before he became
librarian of the Carnegie Free Library, Braddock, Pa., in which post he
served in 1892-95. In the latter year he organized the Carnegie Free
Library of Pittsburgh, and he remained as its director for nine years.
On the day of the library's opening, with 8,000 volumes, he had a
catalogue in book form listing everything on the shelves.
Work in Pittsburgh
His achievements in Pittsburgh included the extension of the
institution through many branches and the planning of the buildings for
the comfort of readers. He designed many of the furnishings and
arrangements himself, working with architects, and he carried on this
policy in New York in the building of branches and the interior
fittings of the main building. Under his direction the Carnegie Library
in Pittsburgh became the model for libraries in many other cities.
He gave up library work in 1904 to become superintendent of some
Missouri zinc mine properties for a year. He returned to library work
in 190G as director of the New York State Library and its Library
School and in 1908 became assistant director of the New York Public
Library.
Dr. Anderson was the recipient in 1927 of the Order of the White Lion
from the late Thomas G. Masaryk, then President of Czechoslovakia, for
public service. He was a former president of the Keystone State and New
York State Library Associations and the New York Library Club.
Upon his retirement in 1934, Dr. Anderson was praised by the late Frank
Polk, then president of the board of trustees of the local library, for
having “administered the institution most ably.” He had
been a member of the Century Club here.
Besides his daughter, he leaves a widow, Mrs. Frances R. Plummer
Anderson, and another daughter, Mrs. John W. Green Jr. of Danbury, Conn.

JUDGE ARTMAN INJURED IN FALL FROM PORCH ROOF
Jurist Picked Up Unconscious And Taken To Witham
Suffers Sever Concussion Of Brain-Side Paralyzed
Toppling from the roof of a porch at his home in Country
Club Park shortly before noon today, Samuel R. Artman, prominent
Indiana jurist and for several years a member of two state boards, was
critically injured when his head struck a cement step. He fell about
fifteen feet and was rendered unconscious. He was removed by ambulance
to the Witham Hospital where at two o’clock this afternoon he had
only partly regained consciousness. E-ray pictures failed to reveal a
fracture of the scull, but he suffered a severe concussion of the
brain. The back of his head was badly cut. His left side was partly
paralyzed, but his condition was reported to be gradually clearing this
afternoon. An Indianapolis specialist was to arrive about four
o’clock to assist in the case. The attending surgeon said he
considered Mr. Artman’s condition as being “very
serious.”
Details Lacking
Details of the fall were lacking this afternoon. Mr.
Artman was alone in the house at the time, Mrs. Artman being at
Indianapolis. He crawled through a bathroom window out on the porch
roof intently to make repairs on the roof. Standing near the edge of
the porch covering, he apparently lost his balance and fell head first.
Frank Dunn, Zionsville Banker, witnessed the fall from the Ulen Country
Club and summoning others, ran to the scene and helped carry the
injured man into the house and called for an ambulance. Mrs. Artman was
reached at Indianapolis and notified of her husband’s condition .
She reached here a short time after the accident. Few natives of Boone
County have gained more prominence in the state and nation than Judge
Artman. For a number of years he was chairman of the Indiana Industrial
Board, resigning to become a member of the Indiana Public Service
Commission. After holding that post for a short time he resigned and
was reappointed chairman of the Industrial Board. Later he resigned
again because of poor health, and about two years ago built a beautiful
home in Country Club Park where he and Mrs. Artman have since resided.
He practiced law in Lebanon and Indianapolis and served one term as
Judge of the Boone Circuit Court.. An opinion rendered in a liquor case
while he was judge of the local court gained nation-wide prominence for
him.

THOMAS ARTMAN DIED SATURDAY
Succumbed To The Inevitable After A Brave Fight
FUNERAL TO BE TUESDAY
Services to be Held at Methodist Church Here at 2:30
p.m.-- Burial Will be in Oak Hill
Death is always sad when it takes the aged, the grief of
bereaved relatives and friends is in a measure mitigated by the
knowledge that life has run its allotted span and that the final
dissolution has come as the natural result of accumulated yeas. But,
when it lays its remorseless hands upon one who has not yet reached
maturity, when it blots out the youthful dreams and ideals which are
nearing fruition, when it claims a bright mind a career of promise, the
great heart of the community is touched with the keenest sorrow and
regret. And when that youth is an only child in whose development the
fond hopes of parents are centered, the grief is intensified a hundred
fold. And thus it is that no death that has occurred for so long time
has occasioned so universal sorrow as that of Thomas B. Artman, who
passed away Saturday afternoon at 4:15 o’clock at the home of his
parents, Judge and Mrs. S. R. Artman, 1933 North New Jersey Street,
Indianapolis. Lebanon people have watched with sympathetic interest his
brave fight against the encroachments of the dread disease of typhoid
fever and they have hoped against hope that he could win the battle.
The news of his death while not unexpected came as a shock. For over
two weeks Mr. Artman has struggled against the disease, which he
contracted at Bloomington, while attending summer school at Indiana
University. In his fight he has been aided by the best medical skill
and the most careful nursing it was possible to obtain. But the disease
was of too vibrant a type to be overcome and although he made several
rallies which brought temporary hope to the anxious hearts that hovered
constantly over his bedside, he was finally forced to surrender to the
inevitable.
His death removes from the walks of life a youth of great promise. He
was an Indefatigable student and had made a splendid record in both
high school and college. He graduated from the Lebanon High School two
years ago and then entered Wabash College. He had expected to secure
his degree from the Crawfordsville institution of higher learning next
June, completing the four years’ course in three years. His work
at Indiana University summer school was for the purpose of aiding him
in attaining that end. He was popular in college and was one of the
prominent members of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He was president of his
class and was recognized as one of the best students in the college.
Besides his regular work in college, he has devoted much of his spare
time in acquiring a musical education. His interest in music began in
his boyhood and his instruction had been under the best talent
available here and in Indianapolis. He became quite proficient as a
vocalist and during the later years of his life sang in church quartets
here and in Crawfordsville. During his college course he had been
connected with the musical organizations of the school and for the
coming year he had been elected director of the Wabash Glee Club. Mr.
Artman was born and raised in Lebanon and had resided here up to about
two years ago when his parents moved to Indianapolis. He was Twenty
years old Funeral services will be held Tuesday both in Indianapolis
and in Lebanon. The services at 10:30 a.m. at the Artman home in

F. H. AUSTIN
FOUND DEAD
One of Jamestown's Prominent Professional Men Found Dead In
His Office
Last Saturday morning about 10:30 o'clock Dr. Austin was found
dead in his office in Jamestown. Late Friday night the doctor
was called out and upon leaving home told his wife he would
not be back but would sleep at the office after making his
call. About 12:30 o'clock that night he called J. R. Clore
by telephone and bade him dress and go to the store where
the doctor purchased some blankets. When found the next morning
the doctor was using the blankets on his bed in the office.
Night watchman John Adair saw a light in the office as late
as 3 a.m. but thought Dr. Austin had a patient. It is suppose
that the doctor was suffering with bowel trouble and was seeking
relief by external applications of lotions, as when found
he had a cloth across his bowels which he had placed there
to keep the machine he had been using off his undergarments.
Coroner Smith was called and investigated and gave it as his
opinion that death was due to organic heart trouble which
he had been suffering for some time.
Dr. F. H. Austin was born in Crawfordsville, Indiana, 6 June
1859. When two years of age he moved with his parents to Darlington,
but after a few years residence there his parents moved to
Thorntown. He completed the public school work at his place
in what is now known as Thorntown Academy.
At the age of sixteen he learned the printers trade, and continued
to work at this trade for twelve years. He then began the
study of medicine under Dr. W. F. Curryer of Thorntown, graduating
with highest honors from the Eclectic College of medicine
at Indianapolis on 15 March 1885.
He began the practice of his profession at North Salem, Indiana,
but after nine months practice at that place located at Jamestown
on 1 January 1880, where he resided until his death, which
occurred 26 march 1904, being that time 44 years 9 months
20 days old.
He was married to Nannie Cassity of Jamestown on 1 November
1886, two children, a daughter, Mora, aged 16, and a son,
Hunter, aged 9, together with the widow, survive the deceased.
He became a member of the Presbyterian Church when he was
twelve years old, but shortly after locating at Jamestown
united with the Christian Church. He was also a leading member
of the I.O.O.F., K.of P., Tribe of Ben Hur, and Modern Woodsmen
fraternities, being at the time of his death one of the trustees
of the first named order, scribe. Treasure and medical examiner
of the Tribe of Ben Hur. He was identified with every movement
for the betterment and uplifting of the community, speaking
his convictions fearlessly and on any proposition that presented
itself.
Dr. Austin was a man too well known for words to portray the
high esteem in which he was held be the people among who he
has lived during his professional carrier. As a husband and
father he was ever ready to supply every want that money could
purchase. In his death his family has lost a true friend,
the community a useful man, and the state an honored citizen.
Funeral services were held at the Christian Church, Monday,
at 2:30 P.M., being conducted by Revs. Jordan, Ashley and
Daughterty and Elder Martin. By common consent all business
houses of the town were closed during the funeral and it was
noticeable feature that people from every station in life
came to pay their tribute of respect. Interment at the I.O.O.F.
cemetery, under the direction of the above named orders.
Dr. Austin was a son of the late Abner V. Austin of Thorntown
and a brother of Mrs. Chas. Young of this place.

Unexpected Death
The death of Mrs. Susan Barber, near noon last Saturday, was
entirely unexpected to the community. It was known to but
few in Jamestown that she was sick, when her death was announced,

and found that she was in bed with the doors locked. Her son
John was sent for and when entrance was made she was found
in bed helpless with the bed all tumbled and soiled. She had
suffered a stroke of paralysis. Dr. Boundell was called and
treated her, and when he was recalled Friday night he saw
there was no hope, as the affection was gradually extending,
and by Saturday morning she was speechless
The old lady was a peculiar soul and seemed to fear that she
might die in want, as she saved every cent she had. After
her death money to the amount of about $60 was found sewed
up in her corset.
Burial took place Sunday at two o'clock at the Fullen Cemetery,
south of Jamestown. The deceased was born in Kentucky 17 February
1823, and had come to this state at the age of five years
with her parents, who settled in Parkersburg, Montgomery County.
She has lived in Jamestown since 1872. She leaves six children
surviving her- Marion, living near Poplar Grove; John W. in
Jamestown; Nancy J. at Crawfordsville; Martha A. at Pittsboro;
James H. at Spokane, Washington, last heard of- and two sisters-
Minerva Hedge and Bertha Williamson. Five children have preceded
her, with husband to the Unknown. All her children were present

1208 South East Street by taking carbolic acid in concentrated
form. Mr. Bell arose early this morning and built a fire in
the kitchen stove and cared for the fire in the base burner.
His wife arose a short time later and went into the kitchen
to prepare breakfast. Mr. Bell returned to his room and Mrs.
Bell believing that he was feeling badly thought little of
it and did not molest him until the meal was ready when she
went to summon him. she found him in an unconscious condition.
She did not know that he had taken the poison and did not
find it out for some time afterward when the acid bottle was
discovered under the bed. Dr. R. C. N. Cooke was summoned
immediately and arrived at the home about 8 and rendered first
aid, but the poison had been taken too long for the physician
to save the man and he passed away 8:30. Ill health and financial
troubles are thought to be the cause of his act.

Mr. Bragg by occupation was a bricklayer. He, with his brother,
Capt. Bragg, built the Lebanon courthouse. During the great
panic that came to this country in 1873, like a sirroco, he
with many others suffered great financial losses and during
this time fire destroyed his home consuming everything but
a rocking chair that he has held as a precious memory to this
dying day.
For about thirty-three years Mr. and Mrs. Bragg made their
home in Traders Point. In the year 1880 they moved to Zionsville.
Three weeks ago Mrs. Bragg was taken seriously ill with heart
trouble. One week later Mr. Bragg began complaining and both

Nathaniel S. Caldwell
Nathaniel S. CALDWELL was a native of Lee County, Virginia,
where his birth occurred on 3 April 1832. His grandfather,
Wm. CALDWELL, also a native of the Old Dominion, emigrated
to Kentucky a number of years ago and died there of a ripe
old age. Thomas CALDWELL, father of N. S. was born in Giles
County, Virginia 12 October 1799, emigrated westward in 1834,
and settled in Boone County, Indiana, locating in Jackson
township, where he purchased land and engaged in farming.
Later he disposed of his original purchase and bought other
lands which he improved, and at the time of his death, 13
July 1873 was owner of 111 acres, the greater part under cultivation.
Rachael SCOTT, wife of Thomas CALDWELL, was born 22 June 1799,
in Virginia, and was the daughter of Samuel and Alice SCOTT,
natives of the same state, where the ancestors of the family
settled at a period antedating the war of Independence, in
which struggle Samuel SCOTT bore a conspicuous part. To Thomas
and Rachael CALDWELL were born the following children in order
named: Nancy, Mary A., Nathaniel S., John W., Reuben, Jane
Elizabeth and Alice.
In early days the home of Thomas CALDWELL was a favorite stopping
place for all itenerant [sic] Methodist preachers of central
Indiana, and it was at his house that some of the first religious
meetings ever held in Jackson township were conducted.
Nathaniel S. CALDWELL was brought to Boone County when quite
young. His early educational advantages were such of the indifferent
country schools at the time afforded but such was his diligence
and application that with in a few years he had made sufficient
progress to enable him to teach, which calling he followed
for some time in Jackson township, where he earned the reputation
of a very careful and painstaking instructor. To him, as much
as to any other man, are the schools of Boone County indebted
for much of the efficiency for which they have been noted
in the past years.
Mr. Caldwell was a self made man in all terms implied, and
the beautiful farm he owned, supplied with all modern improvements
and latest agricultural appliances, represents the fruits
of his unaided industry and well directed business thrift.
He was married in February 1857 to Francis CANADA, to which
union the following children were born: Thomas. J., David,
John M. and Chas. E. CALDWELL, all of which survive him except
David who died 16 May 1871.
Early last fall Mr. CALDWELL was stricken down with diabetes
and compelled to take his bed. During his sickness he manifest
great courage and was exceedingly patient at all times. One
week before his death he called his wife, children and relatives
to his bedside and bade them good-bye telling them to meet
him in heaven. He passed peacefully away from the scenes of
earth, 18 January 1905. He leaves a widow, three sons, a brother
and a host of friends to mourn their loss.

going home apparently in the best of spirits. He had driven
his horses near the creek and tied it and was supposed that
he was hunting pawpaws as he was very fond of them. It is
not known, nor will it ever be, how he came to be in the creek
but as he had heart trouble it is thought he had fallen in.
The body lay in the water for over two nights and was in terrible

with the leading issues of the day, whether of a national
or a secular character, was seldom excelled, not even by those
of a professional character. He had the love and respect of
all who knew him. It may be said of him that his work is done,
and well done, and he is now gone to his final home and to
fill a mission in another sphere of a higher and more elevated
character than the toils of earth.
