Scope and Content Note

This collection centers on several generations of the Stow family, Methodists and farmers in Switzerland County, Indiana in the 19^th century. Members of the Stow family immigrated to Indiana from western New York as children, and letters document the psychological impact of migration. Letters and diaries written by Stow family members and their acquaintances document many aspects of 19^th century life. Agricultural work and methods are prominently featured, as the Stow family and their extended relations were primarily farmers. Many Stow family members were active members of the Methodist Church, and their papers document 19^th century Protestant religious practices, including revivals, preaching, temperance activities, and mourning the dead. The collection also pertains to student life from early childhood through the college years. In addition, the political environment of the 1850s and 1860s surfaces in the collection; letter writers discuss their viewpoints as well as temperance and abolitionist activities. Other subjects often referenced in letters and diaries are social events and relationships, the buying and selling of goods, the weather, and the sicknesses and deaths of family and community members. Family and friends write letters from states across the country, including New York, Ohio, Kansas, California, and Alabama. (For further elaboration on the collection’s themes, see Ellen Stepleton’s “Description of the archive & its themes” in Folder 1.)

Folders 1-6 [Binders 1-2] contain information about the historical context and provenance of the collection. Several folders include genealogical charts and compiled research on letter writers.

Folders 7-15 [Binder 3] contain correspondence of the Hyde family. Many of the letters were written by Judith Hyde Manser’s sisters, who remained in Steuben County, New York when the Mansers immigrated to Indiana. Letters discuss relatives and friends, agricultural practices, and social and religious events, touching on familial separation, aging, and impending death. Another significant part of the Hyde correspondence are letters of Calvin C. Hyde, an immigrant to Kansas and active participant in the Free State Movement.

Folders 16-22 [Binder 4] contain correspondence of William Manser and his family. William was a merchant in Cincinnati, Ohio who became owner of the ironworks the Covington Rail Mill. His letters relate to his business interests as well as to personal matters, especially his resentment of his younger brother and his sense of superiority over his rural Indiana relations. The letters of his wife Mary Elizabeth Barrett Manser record the financial difficulties she experienced after the death of her husband, and the seamstress trade pursued by two of her unmarried daughters.

Folders 23-36 [Binder 5] contain the letters of Edward Manser and his wife Fannie Caffee Manser of Cincinnati, Ohio and Covington, Kentucky. Edward Manser’s correspondence touch on his employment at various commercial firms, including his father’s ironworks the Covington Rail Mill. A few letters discuss his military service during the Civil War with the Navy, where he was an executive officer aboard tinclads Petrel and Peosta on the Mississippi. Finally, there are letters relating to his uncle’s farm in rural Indiana, including Manser’s efforts to attract African American laborers to work on the farm, and the shipment of hay to market in Covington.

Folders 37-44 [Binder 6] contain Manser family correspondence, including the families of Catharine Manser Stow’s younger sisters: Harriet Manser Seymour Malin, Lucinda Manser Wells, and Angeline Manser Slawson Graham. A significant portion of the correspondence relates to the school career of Oliver E. Seymour at Moore’s Hill College. Also of interest are two letters written by Edward Wells, a federal soldier serving in Reconstruction-era Alabama.

Folders 45-52 [Binder 7] contain the letters of George and Olive Manser Winchester and their daughters. Much of the correspondence was written by George W. Winchester, a Methodist circuit preacher in Indiana for several decades in the late 19^th century. His letters report on the results of his ministry: accessions of believers into the church, true converts and backsliders, the construction of church buildings, and sales of subscriptions to Methodist publications. Family correspondence also discuss the career of daughter Claribel “Clara” Winchester, who taught music privately and in the public schools and directed church choral groups.

Folders 53-57 [Binder 8] contain correspondence of the Stow family. Brothers Uzziel and Shelomith Stow, both farmers, frequently write about agricultural work. Their mother Livia Hayward Stow’s letters contain information about recruiting a teacher to instruct children in Marble Hill, Indiana. All practicing Methodists, the Stows also occasionally comment on church meetings and visiting preachers.

Folders 58-69 [Binder 9] contain general correspondence, 1833-1895, received by Uzziel Stow. Letters regard sale of land and agricultural products, land management, and reports from friends about the prices of agricultural commodities in various cities.

Of especial interest are the letters of David Deal, a Methodist minister in California during the Gold Rush, as well as those of Marshall Bennett Hyde, a minister who established a school to educate Mormon children in Ogden, Utah.

Folders 70-75 [Binder 10] contain general correspondence, 1847-1890, received by Catharine Manser Stow. Several letters recommend domestic workers. Other letters are written by former employees who worked in the Stow household or as farm laborers. Letters touch upon social events, such as Uzziel and Catharine’s 50^th wedding anniversary in 1884. Of particular interest are several letters from Sarah Wigglesworth, a former housekeeper to the Stows, who fell upon hard times after the desertion of her husband and left her daughter in the care of the Stows.

Folders 76-81 [Binder 11] contain the correspondence of Hiram and Baron Stow. Hiram Stow’s letters document his education at Hanover College’s grammar school in 1847 and at Indiana Asbury University in Greencastle, Indiana in 1853. Baron Stow’s letters consist of his childhood correspondence, primarily from friends and classmates, and letters written to his brother Loring who was away at school.

Folders 82-87 [Binder 12] are comprised of the correspondence of Loring Stow. Loring’s letters touch on his education at various institutions: Hanover College’s grammar school in 1847, Indiana Asbury University in 1856, and Farmer’s College near Cincinnati, Ohio in 1858-1859. Of particular interest are letters documenting a student/faculty disagreement at Indiana Asbury University and correspondence describing hot air balloon contests in Cincinnati. Several letters written in 1860 describe a trip to New Orleans via flatboat to sell a hay crop.

Folders 88-98 [Binder 13] consist of letters written to Loring Stow by his friends. Many of the correspondents are Loring’s college friends from his years at Indiana Asbury University in 1856 and Farmers’ College in 1858-1859. Several of the female correspondents are friends of Loring’s sister, Viola, many of whom are studying at Elizabethtown Female Seminary in Ohio. One mysterious woman named Isabella Gleason writes several flirtatious letters to Loring, believing him to be the young man she was taken with while riding a train near Indianapolis.

Folders 99-110 [Binder 14] contain letters written by Viola Stow Dufour. Viola’s letters from the 1850s primarily concern her education at Elizabethtown Female Seminary in Elizabethtown, Ohio, including discussion of her studies and daily life at the boarding school. Viola’s letters from the 1860s-1880s, most written to her mother Catharine, document her life as a mother of young children. In a final series of letters, 1889-1912, Viola relates news of the family and happenings in the Stowtown area to her daughter Lella, who has left Indiana for distant places.

Folders 111-126 [Binder 15] consist of the correspondence of Julia Stow and Lemuel Bledsoe. Included are letters written by Julia Stow while she was a student at Elizabethtown Female Seminary from 1856-1859.

Letters to Lemuel from 1860-1900 include ones from his cousin after the death of Julia in 1865 and from his sister Bettie Bledsoe and his son Benjamin as Bettie, her husband, and Benjamin traveled to New Orleans via flatboat in 1870-1871.

Folders 128-139 [Binder 16] contain the correspondence of Horace Stow, his second wife Almira, and their children. Horace and Almira’s letters document Horace’s farming endeavors, financial troubles, and their family’s health issues in the Indiana counties of Jefferson, LaPorte, Starke, and Grant in the 1840s-1850s. Letters from their adult children discuss agricultural work, sicknesses, and schooling in the second half of the 19^th century. Horace’s 1896 memoir [Binder 16 appendix] recounts his childhood back East, his family’s trek to Indiana, and his life there.

Folders 140-151 [Binder 17] contain letters of members of the Dean family: Uzziel’s sister Abigail Stow Dean, her husband Argus Dean, their son Hiram and his wife Harriet “Hattie” Wells Dean, and their other children William, Franklin, Mary Livia, and Abigail “Abbie.” Most of the letters are from Hattie, writing from Otto and Marble Hill, Indiana to her Aunt Catharine Stow about fruit crops, sicknesses and deaths, social activities, the weather, and housekeeping in the 1860s-1890s. A few letters from William, Franklin, and Mary Livia reference some of William and Franklin’s Civil War experiences in the Union Army.

Folders 152-154 [Binder 18] hold the late 19^th and early 20^th century correspondence of Frank and Viola Stow Dufour and some of their adult children.

Biographical Note

The collection centers on the family of Uzziel Hayward Stow (1809-1890) and Catharine Manser Stow (1811-1899) of Switzerland County, Indiana. Uzziel and Catharine shared New England ancestral origins, as well as similar experiences migrating from western New York to southeastern Indiana as children in the late 1810s. Independently, their parents settled in Cotton Township, Switzerland County, Indiana in the early 1820s, and there Uzziel and Catharine ultimately met. They were married in 1834, and for the remainder of their lives resided at “Stowtown,” south of East Enterprise, Indiana. They had four children: Hiram S. Stow (1835-1853), Loring B. Stow (1838-1860), Viola A. Stow Dufour (1841-1912), and Baron P. Stow (1847-1864). Tragically, the three sons of the family all died young.

The Stows were farmers who by the 1850s were entering upon prosperity, due in part to the sheer industriousness of Uzziel Stow, and his pursuit of “improvement” in agricultural practice and technology. The family home was situated in the Ohio Valley, along one of the major inland transportation and migration routes of the day. The Stows were active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and commentators on matters of importance to the church during the mid-19^th century. Uzziel and Catharine are buried in the family cemetery at Stowtown.

Biographical Note

Ulysses P. Schenck (1811-1884)

Ulysses P. Schenck was born in the Canton of Neuchatel, Switzerland on May 16, 1811. His parents, John J. P. and Matilda Schenck came to the United States in 1817 and moved to a farm in Switzerland County above Vevay, Indiana. Schenck obtained a common school education and worked as a clerk for his father in Louisville, Kentucky before starting his own business in Louisville, which he operated for eight years. On September 21, 1830, he married Justine Thiebaud [Thoebaud], whose family was among the early settlers of Vevay. They had eleven children.

During the panic of 1837, the couple moved from Louisville to Vevay, in part because they believed the rural surroundings would help stabilize their business. There the Schencks opened a general store in a wooden building on the corner of Ferry and Pike Streets. Justine, a seamstress with a knack for picking out fashionable materials that appealed to their customers, became Ulysses’s partner in operating the store.

The first building to house the store was small, with business conducted on the first floor and the Schenck family living on the second floor. But in 1838, the Schencks constructed a new building, a large and impressive edifice that local residents took to calling the “mammoth” Schenck Store. The brick Italianate structure measured 40 by 100 feet, stood three stories high, contained a full basement, and featured a two-story brick warehouse attached to the main building.

Inside, Schenck sold groceries, hardware, glass, clothing, shoes, china, and other goods. He attempted to meet consumer demand whenever possible, stocking his shelves with the latest in patent medicines, syrup for teething children, and medicinal herbs. Instead of relying on middlemen to buy East Coast products, he personally traveled to Boston, Philadelphia, and New York at least once a year. In the 1840s, the general store also began carrying luxuries such as silk, American prints, muslin, linen, combs, cotton balling, wallpaper, cutlery, castings, tea, coffee, and molasses. In the mid-1870s, the store began selling farm implements, including mowers, reapers, and rakes.

Schenck also operated a steamboat shipping enterprise, which he started in 1846 with his brother Julius P. Schenck, a riverboat captain. This venture enabled Schenck to expand the store’s dry goods and grocery sections with goods traded from Southern markets, particularly New Orleans. One of the materials he was especially known for transporting was hay. He was known as the “Hay King” and could transport more than nine million pounds of the material in a single season. In the 1850s, Julius and Ulysses Schneck’s fleet of ten flatboats and five steamships carried numerous products to New Orleans, including beer, bacon, live animals, skins, com, and metal tools. In the late 1850s, the brothers started a private mail line that operated until the beginning of the Civil War. During the war, their fleet was purchased by the Union navy and Julius retired, putting an end the brothers’ partnership. After the war, Ulysses again became involved in the shipping business, a line continued by his son until 1893.

Over the years, Schenck operated many other business ventures. In 1864, he and several Vevay businessmen launched the First National Bank to serve the financial needs of the community. The bank operated from directly across the street from the Schenck’s store, and Ulysses held the post of bank president until his death. In 1872, Schenck created the Union Furniture Store, which shipped goods to countries throughout the world. He was also one of the principals in the construction of the Versailles Turnpike and donated large sums to Franklin College, a Baptist institution of which he was trustee for several years. Schenck died on November 16, 1884.

Andrew Jackson Schenck (1842-1908)

Ulysses Schenck’s son, Andrew Jackson Schenck, was born December 28, 1842 and completed his education at Franklin College. In July 1864, he joined his father’s business, and the name of the store changed to U. P. Schenck & Son. From 1865 to 1875, he worked on his father’s steamships, first as steward and later as a captain. In 1875, he took over management of the general store and, upon Ulysess Schenck’s death in 1884, inherited his father’s businesses. Like his father, Andrew directed the national bank, the furniture store, and a woolen mill company. Andrew died on June 16, 1908.

Americus Vespuccius Danner (1867-1952)

In 1897, Americus Vespuccius Danner, a clerk at U. P. Schenck & Son, bought the general store and renamed it “Danner’s Hardware Store.” He bought the enterprise in the same year he married his wife, Effa Morrison, a local historical authority and a founder of the Switzerland County Historical Society. Under Danner’s management, hardware and farm implements made up the firm’s primary product line, but sometime before America’s entry into World War I, he began stocking baseballs and other sporting goods. Danner later served as the first Republican mayor of Vevay. He continued running the store with his son Emmet until his death on December 9, 1952.

Emmet Danner (1909-2001)

Americus’s son Emmet Danner was born on March 20, 1909. He literally grew up in the general store, as the family lived in the two stories above the main level, but only officially started working there in 1929 after graduating from the New Albany Business College. In 1931, he married Helen Pauline Cripe of Madison. The couple had two children, Carolyn Jean and Emmett Michael. Emmett Michael Danner began working for the firm in 1963 and later became its president. Carolyn Danner later pursued her grandmother’s interest in history and wrote a small book on the life of Ulysses P. Schenck.

Danner’s Hardware Store continued expanding its product line throughout the 20th century. It remained family-owned and operated until 2010, when it was sold to new owners. It was long considered the oldest business in Indiana still in its original location.
