[OCT. 29, 2001]  It was same date, Oct. 26; same place, Logan County Courthouse lawn; same names; same clubs; and probably the same attitude, accomplished; as it was 95 years ago for the unveiling of the Indian maiden fountain. Perhaps the only difference was that the weather may have been a little warmer that day on Friday, Oct., 26, 1906, when Lincoln Woman’s Club, Judge McCormick and Lincoln High School Glee Club spoke and sang before a large crowd. This time the 40-degree temps with the brisk wind were a sure reminder that winter is just around the corner.

Wendy Bell, director of Main Street Lincoln, announced that the dedication was going to follow much of the same format as it was for the sculpture’s first unveiling.

Bell introduced Burnetta "Bernie" DePuy from the Lincoln Woman’s Club, who pioneered much of the fund-raising for the statue restoration. The efforts began in 1995 to raise the needed funds to restore and refurbish the beloved statue. It was the Lincoln Woman’s Club that initialized the original statue. DePuy recalled the original requirements of a public property sculpture: "Any sculpture was not only to be a piece of art, but it had to be functional and useful, as well as educational." The Indian maiden filled all requirements. It was functional and useful as a fountain to provide refreshment for people and additionally so with a lower trough for pets. It was educational, as the Indian maiden was intended to remind us we are a nation of many people, including the Indians who were here first.

DePuy, who is credited with bringing this project to fruition, thanked the many who have contributed to the restoration, including sculptor David Seagram, former Sen. Robert Madigan, Dick Logan from Logan County Board, the former and present members of the Main Street board, including Kate Orr and the many citizens who have contributed to cover the costs of restoration. DePuy included in her remarks that this has "truly been a community affair."

To the delight of the audience, DePuy was recognized with a gift for her tireless efforts on the project — a custom-made, artist-signed clay cast of the formerly missing hand from the statue. With some chuckles she accepted her gift charmingly, saying, "Thank you!"

Same words, song and attitude

Present at the first dedication was Judge McCormick. To read his very same words in his stead on this day was his great-great-nephew Tim McCormick. McCormick read the following from an original newspaper account:

[to top of second column in this article]

Judge McCormick made a very appropriate speech of acceptance. He said in part:

"It is all together fitting that this useful and ornamental piece of statuary should be built, donated and dedicated to the public service as a companion piece to this handsome and magnificent building we here behold outlined against the sky. In accepting this most generous gift on behalf of Logan County let me express to its generous givers the thanks and appreciation of all our people. May no vandal dare with wantoned hand ever marr its sacred beauty or polute its crystal base. May the virtues, lives and motives of its givers and of those whose pleasure it is to receive and care heretofore be ever as pure as the limpid waters that issue forth from its fount to quench the thirst of the weary pilgrim within our gates."

The original sculptor was Charles Mulligan. His great-nephew John and wife Sharon Mulligan were also present for the ceremony. They videotaped the event to send to the sculptor’s great-niece who was the model for the papoose. She now lives in Florida.

The Indian maiden now sits facing the Arcade on Pulaski Street rather than on the Kickapoo Street side. As the refurbished statue was unveiled, the Lincoln Community High School chorale sang "America" just as the Glee Club did 95 years ago.

If you go inside the Logan County Courthouse, you will find an abundance of assorted marble lining the walls of the corridors. Some of the trim has a pinkish marbled appearance. It is this same stone the Indian maiden is carved from. The marble comes from Tennessee. The original statue cost $800.

[OCT. 29, 2001]  Lincoln College student groups will help the Lincoln/Logan County food bank by donating items they receive from their second annual Trick or Canning event.

Lincoln College students will go "trick or canning" on Wednesday, Oct. 31, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in and around the Mayfair subdivision in Lincoln. They are not in search of candy, but canned goods and non-perishable items. All items will be donated to the Lincoln/Logan County food bank.

Student groups helping with the event include Student Activities, Operation Big Help Workers (LC’s student volunteer program) and Student Admissions Ambassadors.

Angie Whiteman, director of student activities, is helping organize the event and says she expects to collect over 100 pounds of food. "Last year we canvassed the area around campus and collected about 50 pounds of food. This year we’ve set our goal at 100, and hopefully with the help of the people of Lincoln we can meet that goal," she said.

[OCT. 25, 2001]  On Oct. 23, Rep. Jonathan Wright, R-Hartsburg, attended a briefing by the Illinois Economic and Fiscal Commission. "Although I am not a member of the commission, I attended the briefing because the state is facing difficult financial times, and I want to be informed as possible," Wright said.

The Illinois Economic and Fiscal Commission revised their estimate for fiscal year 2002 to reflect a $329 million decrease in total federal and state revenue sources. The commission was informed that we are in a recession. At this time, no one can guarantee how long this recession will last.

In addition, Central Management Services also updated the status of two critical programs. During the briefing, CMS indicated that preliminary figures indicate that the funding for the state employees’ group insurance is short $100 million to $110 million for fiscal year 2002. CMS further warned that if the Legislature did not take any remedial action, the state would be forced to hold payment of claims for 100 days.

"This is unacceptable. The Legislature must take corrective action during the November veto session. No state employee should be forced to wait 100 days to receive reimbursement for a legitimate claim," Wright commented.

[to top of second column in this article]

In addition, CMS informed the commission that TRIP, the insurance program for retired teachers, is short $28.8 million for fiscal year 2002. If no action is taken in this regard, CMS would have to raise premiums for retired teachers by 80 percent early next calendar year.

"The retired teachers already were forced to accept a 21 percent premium increase early this year," Wright said. "We must make this a priority in November to properly fund this program without adding any increased premiums to retired teachers. These are people who have dedicated their lives to educating our children, and I will make every effort to see that this fund is properly funded without any additional cost to the retired teachers."

The commission will have another meeting in December of 2001 to further assess the stability of the economy.

[OCT. 24, 2001]  Main Street Lincoln received word this week that the restoration of the Indian mother statue is complete, and she will be returning to Lincoln soon. The statue has been in the hands of David Seagraves at his rural Elizabeth, Ill., studio for the last five months.

Seagraves came highly recommended, having completed several works for the Illinois Capital Development Board. He specializes in small sculptures, architectural carvings and carved furniture. Several of his works have won awards at the International Woodcarver’s Congress, the largest show of its kind in the United States.

Seagraves has been using the latest technology on the Indian mother’s restoration. After smoothing out the "wrinkles" and wear from years of exposure, an Alpha electric water-fed grinder with flexible diamond discs was used to define the contours. The missing hand and water jug were carved and attached, using the intact hand and pictures provided by the Art Institute of Chicago as guides.

"The results are incredible," according to Wendy Bell, Main Street Lincoln program manager. Seagraves included pictures of the statue in her restored condition. Laying one next to a before photo shows a dramatic difference. "He has brought her back to life," said Bell.

The statue was originally sculpted by Charles Mulligan from Tennessee pink marble. Mulligan is best known for his works "Law and Knowledge" and "Justice and Power" that stand outside the Illinois Supreme Court Building, as well as the Illinois Memorial at Vicksburg.

The Indian mother statue was featured at the Illinois State Fair before its placement on the Logan County Courthouse grounds in 1906. The Lincoln Woman’s Club contracted for its creation and gathered the funds to pay for it. Its inscription tells the story "of the people, by the people, for the people."

The statue served as a public drinking fountain, and many locals have stories to tell. Gene Baker, who is laying the bricks for the statue’s plaza, remembers "stopping to drink from the fountain often as a boy." Those good memories are his reason for wanting to be involved with the project. The base of the statue also had small pools carved out, where excess water would go and provide drinks for pets that needed refreshment.

[to top of second column in this article]

It is believed that, unfortunately, using the statue as a fountain contributed to her demise and the loss of her hand and water jug in the 1940s. No one seems to know where they went, but the Indian mother has had only one hand for more than half a century.

Burnetta DePuy from the Lincoln’s Woman Club took the statue on as a club project more than a decade ago. DePuy partnered with Main Street Lincoln about six years ago.

Since then the restoration has proceeded in slow increments due to lack of photos to go by, lack of materials and lack of funds. After other issues had been resolved, a concerted fund drive began about a year ago.

When the statue returns Thursday afternoon, Oct. 25, she will be placed on the south side of the Logan County Courthouse on a new concrete pad with footings below the frost line. The pad, poured by Mark Gates, is the initial stage in a larger plaza that will include memorial bricks, benches, a plaque telling the story and landscaping. That part will be finished in the spring.

Those who wish to contribute to the project may still purchase bricks through Christmas. They are $25 each, and forms are available at the Main Street Lincoln office, 303 S. Kickapoo, or by calling 732-2929.

The Indian mother’s rededication will take place on Friday, Oct. 26, at 4 p.m., exactly 95 years to the day that she was originally dedicated. The ceremony will be at the statue site or, in case of rain, inside the courthouse.

The rededication is closely following the original ceremony, with a presentation speech by County Board Chairman Dick Logan and the singing of "America" by the Lincoln Community High School choir. Tim McCormick, nephew of the late Judge Donald McCormick, will give a portion of his uncle’s original acceptance speech.

The public is encouraged to attend. A reception in the courthouse rotunda will follow, hosted by the Lincoln Woman’s Club and assisted by the Junior Woman’s Club.
