Biographical Note 

Samuel Plato (1882-1957) was a prominent African-American architect and builder. He designed and/ or built a wide variety of buildings including Greek Revival and Craftsman style houses, elaborate mansions, post offices, banks, churches, theaters, office buildings and government housing projects. Plato was the first African-American architect to receive a government contract to build a U.S. post office in Decatur, AL and one of the few who received government defense housing projects during World War II. He has eight buildings on the National Register of Historic Places including his Phillipsburg, NJ Post Office and Louisville’s Broadway Temple A.M.E. Zion Church.

Biographical Note

Mervin Aubespin was born in 1937 in Opelousas, Louisiana. In 1958, he graduated from the Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University). While studying at Tuskegee, Aubespin became involved with the Civil Rights movement, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott and march from Selma to Montgomery. Upon graduation Aubespin moved to Louisville where he became a teacher and remained involved in the civil rights demonstrations in the city. He then took a job at BF Goodrich, which according to Aubespin resulted in the loss of his draft deferment. In an interview, Aubespin stated that while serving his obligatory two years of military service, he decided to spend his free time studying art.

Following honorable release from the military, Aubespin returned to Louisville where he and other Black artists founded the Louisville Art Workshop. In 1967, Aubespin took a job at the Courier-Journal as a news artist.

It was during a period of pronounced racial unrest in 1968 that Aubespin’s career as a reporter began. During this time as it became unsafe for his white coworkers to report from the scene, Aubespin assumed the role of reporter and relayed stories of what was occurring in west Louisville to the writers at the Courier-Journal. Aubespin says he eventually returned to his job as an artist before being approached months later by the publisher of the newspaper and told that he was more valuable to the Courier-Journal as a reporter. In 1971, he entered the Minority Journalism Program at Columbia University.

Aubespin’s career as a journalist for the Courier-Journal spanned decades and included countless stories. Throughout his time at the Courier-Journal he worked in several positions and retired from the newspaper in 2002 as the Associate Editor/Development. Aubespin served as a consultant on media to the United Nations Development Programme’s Office of Public Affairs and led numerous trips of journalists to countries including Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Mozambique, and South Africa, among others.

Aubespin’s lifelong mission was to diversify newspaper staff and involve more people of color in the production of the news, which is reflected in his involvement with numerous professional organizations and mentorship programs. Aubespin was a longtime member of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE), and was involved in the Chips Quinn Scholars program and Multicultural Journalism Workshop, among other organizations.

In 2011, Mervin Aubespin, Kenneth Clay, and Dr. J. Blaine Hudson published their co-authored book Two Centuries of Black Louisville: A Photographic History after years of work on the project.

Aubespin has received numerous awards and accolades, including the Ida B. Wells Award in 1990 for “for exemplary leadership in providing minorities employment opportunities in journalism,” and the 1991 Distinguished Service to Journalism Award by the Association of Schools of Journalism and Mass Communications. He is a member of the Kentucky Journalism Hall of Fame.

Aubespin is married to Deborah Cahill Aubespin. He has a daughter from a previous marriage, Eleska Aubespin and a stepdaughter, Sarah Spearing.

Scope and Content Note 

The Louisville Municipal Bridge Photograph Collection is housed in one archival box (.33 cubic foot) and is made up of 193 black and white photograph prints that are split into two albums.  Album 1 is compiled of 174, 5.75”x3.5” prints and Album 2 is compiled of 19, 9.75”x7.5” prints.  The collection contains photographs of the construction of the Louisville Municipal Bridge from the beginning in June 1928 to the completion of the project in October/November of 1929.  The collection includes photographs of the bridge construction including the caissons, piers, and the superstructure of the bridge itself.  Some photographs include the construction workers and their various jobs while building the bridge. In addition to the photographs there are a few newspaper clippings.  One references the bridge commission visiting the construction site to inspect the progress of construction.

This inspecting party included Louisville Mayor William B. Harrison, and the Chairman of the commission.  Another clipping references Louisville Mayor Harrison and Harry C. Poindexter of Jeffersonville, Indiana observing the bridge with engineers and commissioners.  There is also a telegram from Western Union to C. Glennon Melville, the resident engineer on the project, from his family.

Biographical Note

The Louisville Municipal Bridge was built between 1928 and 1929.  The bridge was approved by Kentucky Governor William J. Fields in 1926 when he signed the legislation that authorized the building of a toll bridge and the creation of the Louisville Bridge Commission.  The bridge was funded by both state and private funds, secured by Louisville Mayor William B. Harrison.  The architect chosen by the commission for the project was Paul P. Cret.  The commission chose a Philadelphia based engineering firm run by Ralph Modjeski and Frank M. Masters to design the bridge.  The plans for the bridge were approved by the Louisville Bridge Commission and would be built between Second and Main Streets in Louisville and extend across the Ohio River to Illinois Avenue in Jeffersonville, Indiana.  The American Bridge Company began construction of the bridge in June of 1928 and the bridge opened in October 1929.  The bridge was a toll bridge until 1946 when it was converted to a free bridge.  The Louisville Municipal Bridge was renamed the George Rogers Clark Bridge in 1949 in honor of the founder of Louisville but it is also called the Second Street Bridge.

Biographical Note

Isaac Shelby (1750-1826) was the first and fifth governor of Kentucky and served in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. He married Susannah Hart (1764-1833), the daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah Hart. Isaac and Susannah Shelby’s oldest son James Shelby (1784-1848) married Mary “Polly” Pindell (1784-1836) in Fayette County, Kentucky. Their children who survived into adulthood were Richard Pindell Shelby (1810-1849), Susan Hart Shelby Carter Magoffin (1813-1901), Isaac Shelby (1815-1873), James Shelby (1817-1852), Lafayette Shelby (1819-1859), and Evan Shelby (1824-1853).

Joseph Bruen (1794-1848) moved to Lexington, Kentucky, where he established a brass and iron foundry and married Margery Parker (1778-1853) in 1818. Their children who survived into adulthood were Elizabeth Bruen Ingels (1820-1874), Joseph Bruen Jr. (1821-1846), Amanda Bruen Shelby (1824-1853), and Sarah “Busy” Bruen Cronly (1828-1902).

At age 13, Amanda Bruen entered the school of Bishop Benjamin Bosworth Smith and began a lifelong association with many of his children, especially Elizabeth “Lizzie” Smith. In 1844, at the age of 19, Amanda married 20-year-old Evan Shelby, the youngest child of Gen. James Shelby. Their daughter Mary Pindell Shelby (1845-1916) would be orphaned in 1853 at the age of 7 when Evan and Amanda Shelby died within five months of each other. Evan died after suffering from erysipelas and Amanda’s cause of death is not known.

After the deaths of Evan and Amanda Shelby, Mary Pindell Shelby was raised by Amanda’s sister Sarah “Busy” Bruen Cronly, and likely also by Evan’s sister Susan Hart Shelby Carter Magoffin and Evan’s brother Isaac “Ike” Shelby. During the 1870s, Mary Pindell Shelby traveled with her Aunt Busy, visiting Shelby and Bruen cousins from New Jersey to California and collecting genealogy information. In 1880, she married John Calhoun Stallcup (1841-1915), a lawyer and judge living in Denver, Colorado. In 1889, they moved to Tacoma, Washington. Their children who survived into adulthood were Margery Bruen Stallcup Smith, John Calhoun “Buster” Stallcup, Jr., and Evan Dhu Shelby Stallcup.

Scope and Content Note

The collection documents the lives of Shelby and Bruen family members, with a focus on Amanda Bruen Shelby of Fayette County, Kentucky. The 1844 marriage of Amanda Bruen and Evan Shelby, grandson of former Kentucky Governor Isaac Shelby, connected the two families. While the collection contains letters of Isaac Shelby and other Shelby and Bruen men, most of the correspondence, diaries, and other personal papers are authored by female family members and friends who lived in Lexington, Louisville, and other parts of Kentucky, as well as in Arkansas, Missouri, and Colorado. Their writings and keepsakes provide information about courtship and social life, female education, Episcopal religious activities, slavery, travel, and sicknesses and deaths. Included in the collection are genealogical materials, supplemental information, and Shelby Susan “Sue” Scherer Clark’s transcriptions of original documents, which have been digitized. To view PDF scans, click on the links provided in the folder list below.

Folders 1-4 contain late 1700s-early 1800s correspondence of Isaac Shelby, Col. Thomas Hart, Shelby family members, and Dr. Richard Pindell’s family. In the 1780s, Isaac Shelby writes to Hart primarily about disputed land claims and the sale of tobacco, land, and enslaved African Americans, particularly in reference to the ongoing settlement of the debts and estate of his father-in-law (and Thomas Hart’s brother) Nathaniel Hart. After Nathanial Hart’s wife Sarah died in 1785, Shelby writes of the education needs of the Harts’ sons. His 1789 letters discuss the land claims of Thomas Hart Benton and Daniel Boone. Thomas Hart’s letters from acquaintances and family members discuss family news, debts, and slavery. Included are letters from his son-in-law James Brown at his plantation near New Orleans. Among the personal papers of Shelby and Pindell family members are poems written by Susannah Hart Shelby Shannon, some reflecting on the death of her 16-year-old niece from yellow fever in Guatemala in 1832, and a letter from Gen. James Shelby to his wife during his military service in the War of 1812.

Folders 5-25 hold correspondence and papers of Bruen family members from the 1830s-1840s. The majority consist of young Amanda Bruen’s letters, autograph albums, and journals. Amanda’s school journals are filled with lessons and short compositions. Passports, correspondence, pressed flowers, and Amanda’s travel journals document a trip to Europe taken in 1841 by Amanda, her father Joseph Bruen, her sister Elizabeth Bruen Ingels, and architect John McMurtry. A ledger for Joseph Bruen’s iron store lists accounts with individuals and businesses; the account book later became a scrapbook for his children and/or grandchildren. There are a small number of Elizabeth Bruen Ingels’s letters, as well as letters and poems from Evan Shelby to Amanda Bruen leading up to their marriage in May 1844.

Folders 26-42 hold correspondence and journals of Amanda Bruen Shelby and other family members from 1844 through the deaths of Evan and Amanda Shelby five months apart in 1853. Shelby family letters address politics, family tensions at Gen. James Shelby’s home Richland in 1845, and the birth of Evan and Amanda’s daughter Mary Pindell Shelby in November 1845. Amanda’s prescription and account books provide information about medical treatments and the purchase of household items. Amanda’s daily journals and correspondence document the 1849 cholera epidemic in Lexington, social events and visits, stays at nearby springs, household activities, church attendance, and the lives and deaths of enslaved African Americans in Kentucky as well as in Helena, Arkansas. Letters mourn the deaths of Joseph Bruen Jr. in 1846, Joseph Bruen Sr. and Gen. James Shelby in 1848, Susan Hart Shelby Carter’s husband William Grayson Carter in 1849, and Margery Parker Bruen and Evan Shelby in early 1853. There is a lock of Amanda’s hair saved after her death on July 31, 1853.

Folders 43-66 consist primarily of letters and other personal papers of Mary Pindell Shelby, as well as an autograph book and journal belonging to Sarah “Busy” Bruen Cronly. Included are a school journal, phrenological readings, and miscellaneous papers and keepsakes. Letters between Mary Pindell Shelby and John Stallcup lead up to their marriage in 1880 in Kirkwood, Missouri, where Mary’s aunt, Susan Hart Shelby Carter Magoffin, lived. Stallcup, who lived in Denver and ran for Colorado attorney general on the Democratic ticket in 1880, writes about state and national political elections and about anti-Chinese mobs. Correspondence after 1880 includes cards and letters sent to Mary and John Stallcup’s daughter Margery Bruen Stallcup.

Folders 67-75 consist of correspondence and genealogical notes from 1890-1915, as Mary Pindell Shelby Stallcup gathered information about the Bruen, Pindell, and Shelby families.

Folders 76-89 contain supplemental materials assembled by Shelby Susan “Sue” Scherer Clark, whose great-great-grandmother was Amanda Bruen Shelby. They include information about Shelby and Bruen family members, modern-day photographs of Shelby and Bruen family homes and Kalorama, indexes of letters, and photocopies of wills and other documents. The photocopies of records from other archives are kept in the collection for reference purposes only. Researchers using the photocopies of records from other archives must cite the original repository.

Volume 90 is a scrapbook assembled by Mary Pindell Shelby Stallcup to display family documents, photographs, and clippings dating from ca. 1761-1914. Included are ca. 1865 sketches—one in the scrapbook and one in Folder 91 stored with the scrapbook—of Sarah Brown, who may have been enslaved by Shelby family members and, after the Civil War, worked for Mary Pindell Shelby.

Arrangement Note: Upon arrival at the Filson Historical Society, a large portion of the Shelby-Bruen papers were housed in three-ring binders. Original documents and their transcriptions and photocopies were removed from binders and foldered for ease of use; photocopies of supplemental information and records were put at the end of the collection.
