Biographical Note

Viola Stow (1841-1912) was the only daughter of Uzziel Hayward Stow (1809-1890) and Catharine Manser Stow (1811-1899) of Switzerland County, Indiana. The Stow family home and farm were in Stowtown not far from the Ohio River, one of the major inland transportation and migration routes of the day. The Stows were prosperous farmers and active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Viola had three brothers, Hiram S. Stow (1835-1853), Loring B. Stow (1838-1860), and Baron P. Stow (1847-1864), who all died young.

From 1857 to 1860, Viola Stow attended Elizabethtown Female Seminary in Ohio, sixteen miles from Cincinnati. She worked as a schoolteacher in Stowtown, Indiana, from circa 1860 to 1862. She married Frank Dufour (1836-1907) in October 1862, and they lived outside Vevay on a farm in Switzerland County. Their children were Julia (1865-1937), Clara (1867-1944), Lella (1867-1942), Grace (1870-1872), Loring (1876-1910), Olive (1880-1961), and Belle (1883-1979).

Biographical Note

Donald “Don” Dufour Stepleton was born August 4, 1909, in Indiana. In 1910, Don and his parents, Paul Edward Stepleton (1875-1919) and Belle Dufour Stepleton (1883-1979), were living in Indianapolis, where Paul worked as a bookkeeper. Paul died in 1919. According to the 1920 census, Don was living with his mother Belle and his brothers, Kenneth and John, in the home of Belle’s sister, Julia Dufour, near Vevay. Don graduated from Vevay High School in 1927.

Don served in the U.S. Merchant Marine from 1928 to 1930. For the next two years he attended classes at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University and considered pursuing a career in journalism, but he quit school in 1932. For the next nine years he was often unemployed. He performed farm labor when and where he could; he rode the rails; he built sailboats and made two solo voyages down river. In 1941, Don worked as a construction foreman at the E. I. DuPont de Nemours and Co.’s powder plant near Charlestown, Indiana.

In September 1942, at age 33, Don enlisted in the U.S. Army. He trained in Texas, was deployed to North Africa, and arrived in Salerno at the start of the Italian campaign. For the next year, his primary duty was to set up and command forward observation and communication posts to serve the advancing Fifth Army. From August 1944 to August 1945, Don was stationed in Vada, a small Tuscan town on the Mediterranean coast. His official duty in Vada was to retrieve from the sea large model planes that the Army used in anti-aircraft training exercises. He spent much of his time in the company of Vada’s fishermen.

Back in the United States, Don took on several supervisor jobs at construction sites and industrial plants. He built a rammed earth house in Vevay, providing a residence for his mother and an apartment for himself. He worked as a bookkeeper and mechanic in a tractor shop. He managed the Trafelet farm for his cousin Lella following the death of Walter Trafelet. He made furniture and art pottery. He restored two Federalist-era houses, one of which he resided in with his wife Margaret, whom he married circa 1960. He built sailboats, fished, and ran an informal marina for small boats at the bottom of Ferry Street at Vevay. He served as justice of the peace for the town through the 1960s. He contributed a weekly column to the Vevay Reville-Enterprise.

In the late 1970s, Don and Margaret moved to Dunedin, Florida. He remained healthy and active until the week before his death at age 93. Donor Ellen Stepleton, Don’s niece, wrote of her uncle, “He attempted to disengage himself from the yoke of capitalism, or even money itself… He mourned humankind’s impact on the natural world. The environmental degradation of the Ohio Valley in general and Switzerland County in particular was profoundly distressing to him… He always lived simply and manifestly appreciated leisure.”

Scope and Content Note

This collection consists of photographs documenting the life of Donald “Don” Dufour Stepleton (1909-2003), his family members, and his friends. Stepleton lived near the Ohio River in Switzerland County, Indiana, for much of his life. He took university classes in Chicago in the early 1930s, served in the U.S. Merchant Marine from 1928 to 1930 and in the U.S. Army during World War II, and retired to Florida in the late 1970s. Materials include printed and digitized photographs.

Folder 1 holds the names index for individuals represented in the photographs (see Note about arrangement and names index below).

Folders 2-53 contain photographs from seven albums dismantled by the donor of the collection, Don’s niece Ellen Stepleton. Photographs from the albums date from circa 1927-1990s, with the bulk from 1927-1940s. Most document people and places in Vada and Switzerland County, Indiana, and Chicago, Illinois; World War II training camps and locations in Northern Africa and Italy; and Merchant Marine voyages to ports in Europe and Africa.

Note about arrangement and names index:

The donor sleeved and foldered photographs removed from album pages. Other photographs could not be removed from album pages; the donor added page numbers to those pages before foldering them. Many prints and pages include Don’s captions; the donor copied all captions from album pages that photographs were removed from.

The donor created a names index to document individuals represented in each album. The index references the donor’s organization for the material: she stored photographs from each album in a box or binder, putting photographs and album pages in archival folders or sleeves. Her index references the album number (1-7) and either the page or folder number (each album’s page numbers and/or folder numbers begin at 1).

A processing archivist foldered all photographs and album pages, renumbered the folders sequentially, and retained the donor’s original locations in brackets in the folder list below and on each folder.

Folder 54 contains a small number of loose photographs. Most date from 1950-1953 and are of Don Stepleton, other men, and their boats on the Ohio River near Vevay. Two other photographs date from 2006, when Don’s niece and nephew, Ellen and James Stepleton, visited members of the Catarsi family in Vada, Italy, one of the places Don was stationed during World War II.

Historical Note

Founded in 1853, the Louisville branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) was one of the earliest branches in the United States. The YMCA is a global youth organization that aims to use Protestant Christian values to develop a healthy body, mind, and spirit.

The Louisville YMCA constructed buildings in 1913, at the corner of 3rd Street and Broadway, and again in the 1970s. The YMCA was also involved at Camp Knox during World War I. The YMCA also sponsored sports leagues for area churches, offered exercise classes, gymnastic classes, swimming classes and many other forms of physical education. As of 2024, the Louisville YMCA has ten branches throughout the Greater Louisville area.

Historical Note

Grace English Lutheran Church organized as a Sunday School on October 13, 1889, by Reverend Harlan K. Fenner and members of the Second Lutheran Church. The congregation was organized with fourteen charter members. Construction on the church began in the west end of Louisville on 26th and Bank Streets. Reverend Charles F. Steck settled as the first pastor on January 1, 1892. By 1924, the church had grown so much that a secondary educational building was added. By 1926, the original church building was condemned, and the congregation continued meeting in the recently added educational building for the following twelve years.

In 1938, a new church building was designed by E. T. Hutchings at 452 N. 26th Street. The Board of American Missions designated Grace Lutheran Church as an official “urban church.” The Church building design was revised by Grossman, Chapman, Kinglsey Architects Inc. in the 1980s-1990s. The church building still exists at 26th and Bank as of 2024 but is non-operational.

Biographical Note

Fred G. Burdorf, Sr. (1886-1962) was born to German immigrants Hermann G. Burdorf (1859-1940) and Elizabeth Brockmann Burdorf (1862-1927) in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1886. The Burdorfs were a family of manufacturers, with Hermann as a builder and Fred manufacturing mantels as a young man. Fred went on to become the president of the Plumbing and Mill Employer Co. before joining business in Burdorf’s-Brecher, a company which manufactured gas lighting, fireplace mantles, tile, fire brick, and fireplace accessories in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.

In 1918, Brecher split from the company to form Brecher Lighting Co. Fred created Burdorf’s Furnishings Co. at 415 Main St. Burdorf’s company occupied several locations throughout its history: the Seelbach Hotel, 642 S. 4th St., and on Broadway. The name of the company can still be seen on the 2nd St. building.

Fred Sr. was married to Irene Clair Mills (1886-1978). Fred and Irene had two children together: Catherine Claire Burdorf (1909-1953) and Fred G. Burdorf, Jr. (1911-1995). Fred Jr. joined the family business as vice president, becoming president after his father’s death, but ultimately sold the company to Herman Kessler, Jr. in 1976. Fred Jr., married Cecil Raleigh Cooke (1912-1991). They had three daughters together: Anne, Marilyn, and Catherine.

Biographical Note

Homer Harold Davis, known as H. Harold Davis, was born in Corydon, Indiana, in 1908. He self-admittedly always felt drawn to the beautiful scenery of the South, and early in his career he made the move to Kentucky. Upon graduating from DePauw University, Davis began working in the advertising department of a tobacco company before leaving to work as a staff photographer at the Courier-Journal and The Louisville Times in 1935. Because of his experience in advertising at a tobacco company, as well as a childhood fascination with prisms, Davis had an ardent interest in color photography. His thought process was this: if a prism can split light into red, yellow, and blue, why couldn’t the colors be put back together to form a permanent picture?

Davis spent his early professional years working under fellow Courier-Journal photographer Charles Betz, whom he considered to be the best black-and-white photographer in the region. Davis was first discouraged from looking into the expensive color process by his coworkers. But when the Bingham family assigned him to work with their printing company Standard Gravure, he got the chance to refine the rotogravure printing press process of color photography. As a result, the Courier-Journal sent Davis to New York to study at the Eastman Graphic Arts Laboratory under notable color photographer Carlton E. Dunn.

While studying in New York, Davis was called away to Washington, D.C., to take a color photograph of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on an experimental type of film. On May 15, 1938, Davis’s portrait of FDR became the first color photograph to be published in the roto section of the Courier-Journal and the first color photograph of a U.S. president.

Davis was one of the key figures in perfecting the technique of the color separation process, which made color printing in newspapers possible. Due to Davis’s persistence and the support of Barry Bingham, Sr., the Courier-Journal was one of the first newspapers to print photographs in color. Davis went on to photograph every U.S. president and presidential candidate from Roosevelt through Nixon, as well as every candidate for Kentucky governor and U.S. senator.

During his long career at the Courier-Journal, his favorite subjects to photograph were food, wild birds, thoroughbred horses and horse farms, and Americana scenes and landscapes. Due to his successes and contributions to the field of color photography, Davis received an honorary Master of Photography degree from the Professional Photographers Association of America in 1952. He regularly won awards in the University of Missouri’s “News Pictures of the Year” competitions, some of which are featured throughout this collection.

Davis married Helen Claire Hazelip in October 1939, and together they had one son: Homer Harold “Hal” Davis, Jr. Both Helen and Hal are featured heavily throughout the photograph collection. Davis retired as Chief Color Photographer for the Courier-Journal in 1973. In 1975, he published a book titled This Place Kentucky, which features his own photographs alongside poetry and prose written by various Kentucky authors. He died on August 11, 1980, at the age of 71.
