Bros. Co. functioned primarily as a hardware store. Around 1908 a new concept in kitchen

design was becoming popular across the United States: the freestanding cabinet. The McComick

Bros. Co. began to produce metal accessories for these cabinets such as flour bins and sifters,

P.250 St. Mary Catholic Church Oral History Collection, 2006-2007

The establishment of St. Mary Catholic Church dates to World War I when the pastor and

parishioners of St. Lawrence Catholic Church began to plan for a second Catholic parish in

Muncie. In July 1930, the Bishop of the Fort Wayne Diocese appointed Father Edgar J. Cyr as

pastor of the new parish and designated parish boundaries. In September 1930 construction

began on a church building at the corner of West Jackson and Nichols streets. The first Mass was

celebrated on December 8, 1930, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, in the

basement church. The upper floor of the church was not completed until 1958.

Ground was broken for the present St. Mary Church at 2300 W. Jackson Street on May 31, 1963,

and the completed building was dedicated on August 15, 1965, the Feast of the Assumption of

Mary. The new church was consecrated on August 15, 1968. In 1975 a new rectory-

administration building was completed, and in 1977 an adjacent 3.4 acres with two buildings

were purchased.

The St. Mary Catholic Church Oral History Project was initiated as part of a Library Services

and Technology Act grant for 2006-2007 to create the Middletown Digital Oral History

Collection. The goal of the grant project was to provide research material on populations that

were neglected in the seminal studies published by sociologists Robert and Helen Lynd in the

1920s using Muncie as Middletown, a representative American community. These neglected

populations were the African American, Jewish and Catholic residents of Muncie. St. Mary

Catholic Church and two other Catholic parishes in Muncie, Indiana conducted interviews with

their members to create a sub-collection of the grant project entitled the Muncie Catholic

Churches Oral History Project.

P.251 UAW-CIO, Local 499 Collection, circa 1970-1980

The Muncie, Indiana Chevrolet Plant began manufacturing manual transmissions for passenger

cars and trucks in 1935. In 1940, the employees of Chevrolet-Muncie became a union and

formed Local 499 affiliated with the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). During the

1950s and 1960s, the company witnessed a rapid expansion and growth of operations at the

plant. Several large additions and new facilities were erected to house the plant's growing

product lines.

As the United States auto industry felt the effects of foreign competition and labor struggles

during the late 1970s and 1980s, Chevrolet-Muncie began a long process of layoffs and facility

closings. As a result of these struggles, Chevrolet-Muncie's ownership changed several times

throughout the late 20th century. In 1984, the plant became part of Detroit Diesel Allison, and

two years later, a part of Hydra-Matic. In 1990, General Motors combined Muncie transmission

operation with Chrysler Corporation's New Process Gear creating New Venture Gear, Inc. The

partnership later dissolved and the company once known as Chevrolet-Muncie closed its doors

on March 31, 2006. The photograph collection features photographs of factory production

Muncie Boys Club, Muncie Chamber of Commerce, American Red Cross, Junior Achievement,

Mr. Schwartz had a number of interests that sparked his involvement with numerous community

organizations and clubs. Among these, Mr. Schwartz was very involved in the Indiana

Committee for the Humanities (now the Indiana Humanities Council). His lifelong interest in

the American Jewish experience led to his involvement in the Muncie Jewish community and in

the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. Mr. Schwartz retired from the Young Presidents

Organization in 1966 and subsequently became a founding member of the World Business

Council.

For several years, Mr. Schwartz was a part-time faculty member in the Ball State University

Department of Political Science. Mr. Schwartz has traveled extensively throughout the world and

frequently has lectured on social, business, and religious topics. In 1984, he and Ball State

University faculty colleagues created a program of informal discussion among local

business/professional and academic communities called “Town & Gown Conversations.” It

brought in experts in various fields to speak and became an important part of the cultural scene

in Muncie.

Helen B. Schwartz was born in New York in 1919. She graduated Hunter College High School

and attended Wellesley College, class of 1941. In addition Mrs. Schwartz also attended Julliard

School of Music and George Washington University. In 1940 Helen married Martin Schwartz of

Muncie, Indiana. The couple resided in Muncie for a short time, then moved to Virginia while

Mr. Schwartz served in the Navy.

They moved back to Muncie after World War II, and have remained in Muncie since. The couple

has four daughters: Judith, Susan, Deborah, and Joan. Mrs. Schwartz was an active member of

many philanthropic and Jewish organizations, including serving on the Board of Directors for

Temple Beth-El in Muncie, Indiana, as well as the World Business Council, and the Young

Presidents Organization. Mrs. Schwartz was an involved member of the National Federation of

Temple Sisterhoods where she served as vice president. She was also a founding member of

P.258 “The Man Haters” Collection, 1894-1997

In January 1994, through the efforts of Bill Barnett, Director of Library Business Services, the

families of Bill Kirtley, his sister Jenny Leach and their spouses, donated a 1915 film entitled,

“The Man Haters” to the Ball State University Libraries. The film, having an intrinsic value

simply because it still existed, became even more valuable when it was learned that it was filmed

in Muncie, Indiana, with a Muncie cast, the result of a newspaper popularity contest. Upon

viewing the film, Michael Wood, Dean of the Ball State University Libraries (1979-2006),

thought that it would make an excellent program for the upcoming Friends of the Bracken

Library program in the Spring of 1995. His idea was to use the film as a centerpiece of a video,

surrounding it with visual documentation gathered from detailed research about the producer, the

cast members, and the scenes of Muncie, Indiana from 1915. He appointed Nancy Turner, Head

of Archives and Special Collections in the Ball State University Libraries as Director of “The

Man Haters” project. This collection is the direct result of that research project. Many digital

images as well as the film from “The Man Haters” collection can be found on the Ball State

University`s Digital Media Repository Web site. See related materials from MSS.177,

P.259 Chevrolet Motor Company (Muncie, Indiana) Collection, circa 1950-1980

The Muncie, Indiana Chevrolet Plant began manufacturing manual transmissions for passenger

cars and trucks in 1935. In 1940, the employees of Chevrolet-Muncie became a union and

formed Local 499 affiliated with the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). During the

1950s and 1960s, the company witnessed a rapid expansion and growth of operations at the

plant. Several large additions and new facilities were erected to house the plant's growing

product lines.

As the United States auto industry felt the effects of foreign competition and labor struggles

during the late 1970s and 1980s, Chevrolet-Muncie began a long process of layoffs and facility

closings. As a result of these struggles, Chevrolet-Muncie's ownership changed several times

throughout the late 20th century. In 1984, the plant became part of Detroit Diesel Allison, and

two years later, a part of Hydra-Matic. In 1990, General Motors combined Muncie transmission

operation with Chrysler Corporation's New Process Gear creating New Venture Gear, Inc. The

partnership later dissolved and the company once known as Chevrolet-Muncie closed its doors

on March 31, 2006. Many digital images from the Muncie Chevrolet Plant can be found on the

Ball State University`s Digital Media Repository Web site. See related materials from SC.703,

only to be replaced by east and west districts in 1960. The Delaware County Council merged

with the Crossroads of America Council in 1972.

The Delaware County Council founded a camp outside of Muncie, known as Camp Redwing, in

1925. Organized by Council executive E.H. Justice, the camp was located on the Aretus Rees

farm southeast of Muncie. The camp opened in 1926 under the direction of Lynn Perrigo.

P.264 Temple Beth-El Photographs, 1961-2007

The first Jews came to Muncie in 1828; one year after Delaware County was organized as a

governmental unit. The first Jewish religious services in the county were held in 1852 at the

home of Frank Leon, which was located at High and Howard streets, later to be the location of

the Hotel Roberts. In 1885, the first Jewish congregation in Muncie was formally organized.

With a membership of 19, the congregation met in members' homes with student rabbis traveling

from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati to conduct services.

In 1891, the congregation took the name Beth-El Congregation and met in a building then known

as the Delaware (Masonic) Lodge, which was located at the corner of High and Main streets. In

1896, the congregation secured a permanent meeting place at Adams and High streets. This

location came to be known as the Hebrew Temple.

In 1901, the congregation dropped to 14, but members continued to maintain Sabbath services

with lay leadership and holy day services with visiting rabbis. A new structure was dedicated on

December 3, 1922, at the corner of West Jackson and Council streets. Rabbi Maurice Feuerlicht

traveled from Indianapolis to give the sermon. Charles Indorf, president of Temple Beth-El, was

presented with the keys to the temple. Rabbi Bernard Dorfman, the student rabbi serving at the

time, gave the invocation and placed the Torah scroll in the ark.

In 1985, Temple Beth-El celebrated its centennial. In over a century of existence, Temple Beth-

El has served the Jewish community of East Central Indiana. Along with providing religious

services, the Temple has supported a variety of organizations such as women's and youth groups.

1934. Their first play, Dulcy, premiered on December 15, 1931 at the Masonic Temple

Auditorium. The Muncie Civic Theatre continued to gain community involvement and support

and put on performances without interruption until 1943.

During World War II, the Muncie Civic Theatre temporarily ceased formal productions from

1943-1945. However, supporters of the theatre continued to perform radio dramas Friday nights

on WLBC. Formal performances resumed in 1946 with a performance of Laura, directed by

Horace Burr, starring Ben Janney, Howard Miller, and Ann Crapo. The Muncie Civic Theatre

has operated continuously since that time.

group initiated plans to move it's productions into its own building. The Wysor Grand Theatre

on East Jackson St., the Liberty Theatre on South Walnut and the Hoosier Theatre on East Main

Street were considered as possible sites. The group finally decided on the Hoosier Theatre,

which had opened as the Star Theatre in 1904 showcasing vaudeville performances six days a

week. The Hoosier had closed its doors in 1954 and was vacant until its purchase in 1961 by

Muncie Civic Theatre. The organization spent $300,000 in renovating the old theatre, giving it a
