Generations of Successful Men Pay Tribute to Teachings of “Miss Sue”

Greenfield Woman Conducts Sunday School Class Since 1868,

ENERATIONS have come and tv I gone In the fifty-five years * that Miss Susan Amanda Wilson, affectionately known as ‘‘Mi.ss Sue,” has taught the primary Sunday School class in the Presbyterian church at Greenfield. The rebellion’s guns were yet unstilled when “Miss Sue” came to Greenflfeld from Anderson in 1864 and became a member of the congregation. There was no church in those days and the congregation was obliged to hold its weekly services in the old Masonic temple, now a rapidly crumbling structure, sacred because it was the scene of the unsuccessful histrionic efforts of James Whitcomb Riley, the poet. Some of the Nation’s and many of the State's celebrities have come under the matronly tutelage of "Miss Sue,” and some of her present youthful dlsciplqs will be able to attribute, in retrospection, their success to the influence of this gentle woman. Successful Men Her Reward A few names of pupils show the influence of this remarkable woman: Will Vawter of Nashville, Indiana artist, most noted, perhaps, for his masterly illustrations of Riley's childlore poems: Col. Edwin P. Thayer, a regimental commander In the Spanish War and many times sergeant-at-arms at Republican national conventions; William A. Hough, former president of the Indiana State Bar association, now a member of the State tax board; Clarence Hough, brother of William A. Hough, Chicago journalist: John F. Mitchell Sr., publisher of the Hancock Democrat: John F. Mitchell Jr., associate editor of the Hancock Democrat and playwright. There are many more, all of whom pay deep homage to a woman whose continuous service as a Sunday school teacher perhaps is unequaled in the State. Teacher for Generations In many of these families “Miss Sue” has taught two, three and sometimes four successive generations. With a memory undulled by time "Miss Sue” today recalls the caprices of each child. Enthusiasm for her classes grows as the years pass, and today her boys and girls linger at the door to her classroom as their day of promotion approaches. “We know a good thing when we see It. No, we’ll just stay with ’Miss Sue,’ ” one of her boys remarked recently, when informed by, the superintendent that he had been passed to a higher class. "Years ago I was teaching my class the wrong of using whisky,” ’'Miss Sue” recalled. "A small, inquisitive girl In my iclass, after the discussion, Inquired: ’Miss Sue,’ it wouldn’t be wrong to use It for your stomach, would It?’ "I tried to avoid an answer." “Miss Sue” said, "but before I could re cover the child added: 'MammA drank a. whole glass before she came to Sunday school this morning-' ” "The child's mother was teaching a class near mine and overheard the conversation. After the classes were* 1 dismissed the mother came to me and said: ‘That girl’s going to be the death of me yet.” One on Will Hough “Miss Sue” teljs one on William A. Hough, when he was a stripling. Hough, apparently, was a keen admirer of one Dr. Barnett, founder of the Greenfield Presbyterian Church. When asked who was the first man in the world. Hough sprang to his feet and cried out, "Why, Dr. Barnett, of course.” In her eighth-fifth year. "Miss Spe" spends her time with her sisters, Miss Mariah F. Wilson and Mrs. John A Riley, sister-in-law of the late poet. Mrs. Riley, youngest of five sisters, Is In her seventy-fourth year With the two other sisters, Mrs. Mary F Spencer of Mansfield, Ohio, and Mrs. Sarah E. Brown of Crawfordsville, the family is reunited once each year. Two years ago the entire famDy was , entertained by the brother, William P. Wilson, of Long Beach, Cal.

TIRED OF STAYING MY; SURRENDERS Chester Caldwell Faces Murder Charge, “I just got tired of staying away,” said Chester Caldwell, 23, who walked into police headquarters and surrendered himself op the charge of murdering William O. Sparks, whom he stabbed last November in a fight at 3032 Jacksno St. “The police weren’t bothering me. They didn’t know where I he said. Caldwell punctuated his language with hearty swearing. “Sparks hit me with his fist a couple of times,” he said. “He claimed there was no such organization as the Ku-Klux Klan. I said there was, but that I wasn’t a member. Then he came after me with a club and I stabbed him once and threw the knife away.” Caldwell caught a train out of the city. In Robbins, Tenn., he was riding a freight and thought there was going to be a wreck. He jumped and a passenger train amputated his arm. This was not included in the police description, making his escape easier. Caldwell has a wife, Maude, 20. He said he does not know where she is. Caldwell waived preliminary hearing and was bound over to the grand jury. CHICAGO MAN SAVES GIRL Bandits Frightened When Companion Steps In. By United Xetcs CHICAGO, Aug. 27.—The heroism of Harry E.
