Historical Note

The Louisville Collegiate School (LCS) was founded in 1915 by a group of women who were concerned that Louisville’s current schools did not provide a high-quality education. The organizing committee, chaired by Virginia Perrin Speed, envisioned that girls would be the primary students and that the school would include “all primary and college preparatory departments.” LCS is the oldest independent school in Louisville, Kentucky. Many of the incoming students in 1915 came from Semple Collegiate School, a college preparatory school that provided a progressive education for girls in Louisville from 1893 to 1915.

The school’s first building was located at 512 West Ormsby Avenue, a former residence in Old Louisville.  LCS quickly outgrew the space and acquired new land through donations.  In 1926, the school moved to its current location on Glenmary Avenue in the Highlands, where Nevin, Wischmeyer, & Morgan, Architects designed a new educational complex in the colonial style.  By 1929 the school had an enrollment of 160 students with tuition averaging around $263 per student per year.

Boys in elementary school (preschool-6^th grade) were permanently allowed to enroll at LCS in 1973. In 1981, the school hired its first male principal, Douglas MacKelcan. MacKelcan had high hopes of improving the school and advocated for a coed school. In 1982, the school invested $1.1 million to construct a separate structure for the male students in order to educate the girls and boys separately while sharing the same common spaces such as the library and cafeteria. By 1983 the school was completely coed due to the efforts of MacKelcan and the first coeducational class graduated in 1987. Collegiate has continued to grow and expand since its opening in 1915.

Title: Records, 1905-2008

Rights: For information regarding literary and copyright interest for these papers, contact the Curator of Collections.

Size of Collection: 14 cubic feet (12 boxes, 1 oversized volume, 1 oversized folder)

Location Number: Mss. BF J59

Scope and Content Note

The collection consists of the records of Jewish Hospital, which opened in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1905. The papers, dating from 1905 to 2008, consist primarily of board and committee meeting minutes, administrative and financial records, fundraising materials, correspondence, federal grant applications, publications, and scrapbooks. Most of the early records of Jewish Hospital were lost when the Ohio River flood of 1937 destroyed papers stored in the hospital’s basement. As of 2018, the Filson Historical Society has acquired the administrative papers of Jewish Hospital up through the year 1980.

The collection highlights the efforts of the Jewish Hospital Association, incorporated in 1903, to build and manage a hospital that met the medical needs of both the Jewish community in Louisville and a general patient population. The records include discussions throughout the twentieth century about the meaning of the Jewish Hospital name and identity, and they provide information about the hospital’s relationships with local rabbis and Jewish organizations. Papers contain references to the provision of kosher meals, ritual circumcision ceremonies, and the observance of Jewish and Christian holidays at the hospital.

In addition to documenting the relationship of Jewish Hospital with Louisville’s Jewish community, the collection covers issues faced by many private hospitals in the twentieth century. Records detail how Jewish Hospital oversaw fundraising campaigns and confronted financial challenges. The papers include information about individual employees and the hospital’s management of its workforce, including nurses, orderlies, and housekeeping staff. There is some information, especially in the hospital’s applications for federal Hill-Burton funds, on the religious and racial background of patients and physicians. Materials also detail volunteer work at the hospital. The records from the second half of the twentieth century document how the hospital navigated major shifts in health care, including the racial integration of patients and hospital staff, the need for malpractice liability insurance, the incorporation of new medical technologies and computers into hospital care, the introduction of Medicare, and a growing number of federal regulations tied to federal funding. The papers chart the development of Jewish Hospital into a nationally renowned medical center that specialized in hand and heart surgery and organ transplantation. Also included is information about Jewish Hospital’s affiliations with the University of Louisville Medical School in regard to its teaching, open-heart surgery, and kidney transplant and treatment programs.

Folders 1-15 contain miscellaneous materials from 1910-2006, including histories about Jewish Hospital, a small number of photographs and other images, a 1941 fundraising scrapbook, and various annual reports, by-laws, certificates, correspondence, and publications.

Folders 16-84 contain papers of Jewish Hospital at its first location at the corner of Floyd and Kentucky streets in Louisville, covering the years from 1939-1954. These papers include Jewish Hospital Association by-laws, board meeting minutes, financial and fundraising records, correspondence, applications for federal Hill-Burton funds, information about medical residents, and various publications. Important issues addressed are the costs of hospital services, contributions from local Jewish organizations and individuals, the introduction of Blue Cross insurance plans, the labor shortage during World War II, and the management of nurses and the nursing school. Records from the late 1940s and early 1950s document Jewish Hospital’s decision to relocate downtown and to join the newly organized Louisville Medical Center. The records include information about the hospital’s fundraising efforts and its applications for federal Hill-Burton grants for the construction of a new hospital. Also of note are discussions in the late 1940s about eliminating the requirement that board members be Jewish, and references in the early 1950s to the decision to admit African American patients to the new hospital. For other records of Jewish Hospital before it moved downtown in 1955, see folders 289-292, 294-304, and volumes 307-309.

Folders 85-288 contain papers of Jewish Hospital from 1954-1980, covering the period during and after the hospital’s relocation downtown to Chestnut Street. Materials include a Courier-Journal magazine article on the new Jewish Hospital, board meeting minutes, financial and fundraising records, correspondence, annual reports, records of bequests, publications, and applications for federal Hill-Burton funds for additions to the hospital. The Micro-Scoop, a monthly newsletter for hospitals employees running from 1954-1957 and 1967-1980, contains images of and information about employees and new hospital equipment. Another hospital publication was Service, which was distributed to Jewish Hospital Association members. The collection houses issues of Service from 1965-1975. Also of note are materials relating to the activities of the Women’s Guild of Jewish Hospital, an organization established in 1955 to manage volunteer work at the hospital. Records document the establishment of an intensive care unit and coronary care unit (ICU-CCU) in the mid-1960s, as well as the decision-making process that led to the closing of the obstetrical department in 1967. Administrative papers discuss the impact of the decision to close the obstetrical department on the Jewish community and show how Jewish Hospital took steps to ensure that Jewish obstetrical patients at other hospitals would have access to kosher food and facilities for ritual circumcision.

Other major developments addressed in the records from the 1960s and 1970s include the creation of a cardiac catheterization laboratory, a micro-surgery unit, a nuclear medicine department, a kidney transplant program, and an end stage renal disease (ESRD) program. The records provide information about the hospital’s participation in the Medicare program after 1965. Administrative papers document the establishment of the Louisville Medical Research Foundation in affiliation with Jewish Hospital in 1970. Materials from the 1970s detail the construction of the Wheeler Tower and the pedestrian passageway between Jewish Hospital and Norton-Children’s Hospital. They provide information about the board’s efforts to set up a child care center for employees working day and night shifts, and about the board’s reaction to union organizing activities among different groups of hospital employees. Also of note are discussions in the board minutes about ways to regulate smoking in the hospital.

Folders 289-293 contain loose materials that were removed from the following volumes: the school for nurses ledger dating from 1914-1925, a scrap book of response cards and letters sent to Jewish Hospital from former patients in 1942-1943, the 1946 Jewish Hospital building fund scrapbook, the 75th anniversary scrapbook from 1980, and the Frazier Rehabilitation Center scrapbook.

Folders 294-304 contain materials from the minute book of the Board of Trustees, dating from 1911-1921. These materials include meeting minutes, financial and legal records, correspondence, and the Jewish Hospital Association’s constitution and by-laws. They contain data about hospital services, the number of paying and charity patients, and information about the nursing school and students. Records document the hospital’s relationship with local Jewish organizations, such as the Jewish Welfare Federation, the Council of Jewish Women, and Jewish Ladies’ Benevolent Society #1. They include discussions about adding more non-Jewish physicians to the hospital’s medical staff. Also of note are discussions in 1918 regarding the offer of a $100,000 donation from brothers Bernard and I. W. Bernheim, along with their request that the hospital be renamed Bernheim Memorial Hospital in honor of their parents. Some board members wrote about the importance of retaining the Jewish Hospital name, and the Bernheim brothers eventually donated the money without asking for a change in name.

Volumes 305-310 date from the years 1905-2008. A Board of Trustees ledger (vol. 305) dates from 1974-2008 and records the names and meeting attendance of board members. The Harland Sanders Geriatric Center scrapbook (vol. 306) dates from 1986-1987 and consists of proposals for a geriatric center, promotional materials and photographs of the opening of the center, an annual report, and newspaper clippings. The Jewish Hospital memorial book (vol. 307) consists of certificates from 1940-1952, with each certificate noting who made the donation and who was being memorialized. The 75th anniversary scrapbook from 1980 (vol. 308) includes photographic materials, old patient bills, and copies of newspaper articles. The school for nurses ledger (vol. 309) dates from 1914-1921 and consists of pages for each student at the Jewish Hospital School for Nurses, listing the student’s name, dates, classes, lectures, instructors, and final grades. The Frazier Rehabilitation Center scrapbook (vol. 310) covers the years 1953-2003 and includes newspaper clippings, photographic and promotional materials, and correspondence related to the history of the center and its patients. The Rehabilitation Center was established in 1954 and renamed the Amelia Brown Frazier Rehabilitation Center in 1984, when Jewish Hospital undertook its management.

Folders 311-312 include materials added to the collection after 2020: issues of the Jewish Hospital publication Choices from 1990-1995 and marketing materials relating to the Jewish Hospital Hand Care Center, ca. 2001

Historical Note

The Jewish Hospital Association was incorporated in 1903 in Louisville, Kentucky, with the aim of building a hospital for Orthodox Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and other members of the Jewish community. The association’s efforts led to the opening of Jewish Hospital in 1905 as a 32-bed institution at the corner of Floyd and Kentucky streets. While primarily a Jewish hospital, its articles of incorporation stated that “persons of any creed may be admitted as free or pay patients.” Beginning in 1909, the cost of charity patients’ hospital care was covered by the Federation of Jewish Charities, which became the Jewish Welfare Federation in 1918. The hospital offered a place to train and practice to Jewish physicians, who faced limited opportunities for internships and medical staff positions at other Louisville hospitals. Jewish Hospital also operated a nursing school from 1909 through World War II. In 1929, the hospital built a new addition and the Bernheim Nurses’ Home. The hospital endured through financial deficits, the Great Depression, and the damage of the Ohio River flood of 1937.

In the decade after World War II, a fundraising drive to build a larger hospital at a new location secured over $800,000 in donations from the community and a federal Hill-Burton allocation of $1,284,000. The Board of Trustees hired the Jewish architectural firm Joseph and Joseph to oversee the design and construction of the new Jewish Hospital, which would offer more modern and racially inclusive facilities to patients. A 1952 Courier-Journal article announced that African American patients would be admitted to the new hospital, with plans to have African American and white patients use “the same medical facilities” but not share patient rooms. In 1955, the new 118-bed Jewish Hospital opened at Brook and Chestnut streets. With its location downtown, Jewish Hospital joined the newly organized Louisville Medical Center and participated in the University of Louisville medical school’s teaching program. Like the old hospital, the new hospital benefited from the work of volunteers, most notably from the Women’s Guild of Jewish Hospital, established in 1955. Sara Greenstein, who served as the hospital’s first female president of the Board of Trustees from 1962-1965, oversaw the racial desegregation of the hospital’s medical staff and patient rooms, the creation of a pension system for employees, and the establishment of the open-heart surgery program.

In the 1960s, Jewish Hospital began to build a reputation as a regional medical center specializing in heart and hand surgery and kidney transplants and treatments. The hospital closed its obstetrical department in 1967 to provide more space for its recently established intensive care and coronary care units (ICU-CCU). Two major expansions—the addition of 1960-1962 and the completion of the Wheeler Tower in 1973—increased the number of patient beds to 403. Jewish Hospital was the site of many “firsts” in Kentucky, including the first kidney transplant in 1964, the first open-heart surgery in 1965, the first heart transplant in 1984, and the first hand transplant in 1999.

The 1980s launched an era of corporate reorganization, starting with the creation of the holding company JH Systems in 1983, later renamed Jewish Hospital HealthCare Services (JHHS) in 1988. By 1995, JHHS had expanded to take on the ownership and management of the Amelia Brown Frazier Rehabilitation Center, the Rudd Heart and Lung Center, and a regional network of outpatient facilities and twelve hospitals. In 2005, JHHS and Caritas Health Services merged to create Jewish Hospital and St. Mary’s HealthCare, with JHHS and Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) as parent companies. In 2012, Jewish Hospital and St. Mary’s HealthCare merged with Saint Joseph Health System of Lexington to form KentuckyOne Health. At this point, the board of JHHS reorganized to create the Jewish Heritage Fund for Excellence (JHFE), a nonprofit grant-making organization that gives support to medical research, community health, and the Louisville Jewish community. As of 2018, KentuckyOne Health’s Jewish Hospital and St. Mary’s Foundation provides support to patient care, medical education, and clinical research at Jewish Hospital and other KentuckyOne Health facilities and programs in the Louisville area.

Scope and Content Note

The Simon B. Buckner papers reflect the lives and pursuits of three generations of the Buckner family of Hart County, Kentucky. The papers of Simon Buckner’s parents, Aylett Hartswell Buckner (1798-1851) and Elizabeth Ann Morehead (1801-1861), largely pertain to business, family matters and the people they held in bondage. Prior to the family’s removal to Arkansas in 1843, Aylett was co-owner of an iron ore furnace in Muhlenberg County which employed both free and slave labor. Also referenced in this portion of the collection are Simon Buckner’s siblings, Turner Hartswell Buckner (1820-1854), a “forty-niner,” who died on his second trek to California and Mary Elizabeth Buckner (1831-1883) who married John Tooke (1823-1858).

The heart of the collection, however, documents the life and career of Simon Bolivar Buckner (1823-1914) who served as an officer in the U.S. Army during the Mexican War, a lieutenant general in the Confederate Army during the Civil War and as governor of Kentucky (1887-1891). Numerous letters to and from Buckner, who was known to his family as Bolivar, shed light on his West Point days and military service from 1844 to 1855. Several letters and an unfinished memoir describe his Mexican War experiences as a member of Gen. Winfield Scott’s command during the advance on Mexico City. Other letters describe his duties following the Mexican War at military posts in the territories of Minnesota and Kansas as well as New York City. Buckner’s Civil War papers contain several documents related to the major campaigns in the western theater, including Fort Donelson, Perryville, Stones River and Chickamauga. Of particular interest is a notebook in which he recorded his after-action recollections of the opening phase of the battle of Chickamauga which includes a hand drawn map. Most of his war papers, however, pertain to Buckner’s operations against Union Col. William P. Sanders 1863 cavalry raid through East Tennessee and the closing days of the conflict in the Trans-Mississippi Department. In fact, Buckner was a central figure in arranging the surrender terms for Confederate forces serving west of the Mississippi.

Buckner’s post-war papers contain several letters from prominent ex-Confederates who were adjusting to life following the collapse of the Confederacy. His correspondence also reflects his activities in New Orleans prior to his return to Kentucky in 1868. A sizeable portion of his papers from the 1870s pertains to his family, his Kentucky estate at Glen Lily and both business and legal activities. In 1883 Buckner made an unsuccessful bid to win the Democratic nomination for governor of Kentucky. Many of his papers reflect his political career, which included serving as governor (1887-1891) and as a vice presidential candidate for the Gold Democratic party in the election of 1896. Buckner’s papers prior to his death in 1914 continue to reflect an interest in politics as well as his activities with both Mexican War and Confederate veterans’ organizations.

There are a few letters relating to the courtship, and later marital problems, of Buckner and his first wife, Mary Jane Kingsbury. The collection also reflects the life of Buckner’s first wife and the Kingsbury family. Her father, Julius Kingsbury, a native of Connecticut, married Jane Creed Stebbins while he was a young army officer stationed in the Michigan Territory. The Kingsbury papers pertain to Julius Kingsbury’s military service, including the Mexican War, his business and real estate ventures in Chicago, Illinois and the settlement of his estate. Also included are letters that shed light on the education and personal life of Mary and her siblings, including Col. Henry Kingsbury who was killed fighting for the Union cause at the battle of Antietam in 1862.

The collection also sheds light on the life and family of Buckner’s second wife, Delia Hayes Claiborne. Included are numerous courtship letters between the 62-year-old General and the 28-year-old Virginia belle. Her circle of friends included Gen. George Washington Custis Lee and Mildred Lee, the children of Gen. Robert E. Lee. In addition to participating in Confederate veteran programs she was also active in the Colonial Dames and appears to have supported the Women’s Rights movement in the early 20th Century.

Also included are several documents that reflect the life and career of Gen. Simon B. Buckner, Jr. and his wife, Adele Blanc Buckner. He graduated from West Point in 1908 and served stateside during World War I. He subsequently graduated from the Command and General Staff School and the War College before joining the faculty of West Point in the 1930’s. He commanded American forces in Alaska following the outbreak of World War II and was killed in action at the battle of Okinawa in 1945. He was the highest-ranking American officer to be killed by enemy fire during World War II.

The collection is supplemented by bound materials, newspapers and scrapbooks.

Item level descriptions of a majority of the collection are linked in the folder list below at the box or folder level when available.

Biographical Note

A native of Hart County, Kentucky, Simon Bolivar Buckner graduated from West Point in 1844 and served as an officer in the 6th U.S. Infantry during the Mexican War. After the conflict he was stationed at posts in the territories of Minnesota and Kansas territories. Promoted to captain, he resigned his commission in 1855 and assisted his father-in-law with his business interests in Chicago. Buckner returned to Kentucky in 1858 and in 1860 was appointed General of the Kentucky State Guard.

At the outbreak of the Civil War he offered his services to the Confederacy and was promoted to the rank of brigadier general in 1861. He served throughout the conflict in the Western Theater and was taken prisoner following the surrender of Fort Donelson, Tennessee on February 16, 1862. Exchanged later that year, he was promoted to major general and participated in the Perryville campaign that autumn. After service in East Tennessee during the summer of 1863, he was transferred to Gen. Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee and participated in the Chickamauga and Chattanooga campaigns. Transferred to the Trans-Mississippi Department, he was promoted to lieutenant general and served in that theater until the collapse of the Confederacy in 1865.

After a brief post-war residency in New Orleans, he returned to Kentucky in 1868 and obtained employment in the life insurance business. In 1873 he left Louisville and returned to the old family estate, Glen Lily in Hart County. He also made annual trips to Chicago regarding the property he owned there.
In 1883 Buckner lost his bid to win the Democratic nomination for Kentucky governor. Following the death of his first wife, Mary Jane Kingsbury Buckner in 1874, Buckner married Delia Claiborne of Richmond, Virginia in 1885. He subsequently served as Governor of Kentucky from 1887 to 1891. Historians later described his administration as both honest and efficient. He was the vice presidential candidate for the Gold Democratic party in the presidential election of 1896.

Buckner spent his last years at Glen Lily but he continued to make public statements on both state and national politics. He died in 1914 at the age of 91 and is buried in the State Cemetery in Frankfort, Kentucky.
