Book Title: Counties Of Warren, Benton, Jasper And Newton, Indiana

M'CLURE WORKINGMEN'S INSTITUTE.

   The object of this association, which was organized in 1857, was "to procure
and sustain a library of useful books, to improve ourselves in reading,
discussions and lectures, and to acquire useful and practical knowledge." The
members were composed of those only "who labor with their hands and earn their
living by the sweat of their brows." The fund to secure the library was left by
the McClure bequest. The members were G. H. Norduft, J. M. Norduft, P. W. Lewis,
Robert Pearson, Peter Mahn, M. P. Woods, G. R Livingood, Samuel Ducket, Levi
Miller, A. Suhler, E. A. Boardman. J. F. Reiff, Joseph Jones, John Moore, John
Cox, Henry Wright, A. S. Jones, H. P. Downey, James Park, Alvin Heigh and H. B.
Thomas. The organization amounted to but little.
