Sesquicentennial Scrapbook From The Writing* of Mary Lou Cooley, The News, Farmersburg Tourists passing through the 1-iVIUe town of Farmersburg sometimes ask about the one unused o’d building squeezed between ether places of business downtown. If you stop by the NEWS office, you may find a few copies remaining of the Centennial booklet which they published in 1953, and you will learn that this abandoned building has housed a number of reriaurants, an opera house, various other businesses —and was at one time the inspiration for the beginning of the first State Normal School in Indiana, which is now Indiana State University at Terre Haute. The community was at first known as Ascension as well as Farmersburg because, to quote the history sketch, “The founding of Ascension Seminary here just before the war was the principal institution of the town and -the basis of its growth and prosperity.” Ascension Seminary was begun by Captain W. T. Crawford who came to Sullivan County at the age of twenty-one and after farming a crop of corn in Jackson Township in the spring of 1860 organized a private school in a cottage of two rooms in Farmersburg. From a Sullivan newspaper dated October, 1914, it is revealed that Mr. Crawford’s methods of teaching were so new and so far in advance of local work as to greatly attract the population; students came from all over the country in such numbers that at bis own expense, Captain Crawford built a frame two story building to accommodate the increased attendance. (This is the building -mentioned above.) But before the building was plastered and furnished the Civil War broke out and Mr. Crawford became a soldier. After discharge from the Army, he returned to Farmersburg and founded Ascension Seminary with the ultimate purpose of teaching men and women not only the fundamentals of education, but how to teach others, and .the tome of Ascension spread far and

wide as the greatest school in Indliana. Teachers from Ascension Seminary easily outclassed those from any cither educational institution and as attendance expanded into many hundreds, Steps were taken through patrons the school to build such buildings as would meet the demands and raised a subscription of $70,000 for the purpose including SIO,OOO put down by the Professor himself. For some years, a State Normal School for Indiana had been discussed and this gratifying showing at Farmersburg sipunred to duty the educational interests here and there throughout the State, and resulted in the establishment of he Normal School at Terre Haute. The old newspaper stated, “The State having thus taken up the work which Professor Crawford Wad so auspiciously prospered . . . the school trustees of Sullivan persuade Professor Crawford to accept the superintendency of the Sullivan Graded Schools and to transfer Ascension Seminary to the new Sullivan building . . The closing of Ascension Seminary in Farmerabung nearly caused the death of the community, and if one man saved the town’s life, the credit must go to William A. Brunker, first postmaster of Farmersburg, through his various business enterprises. Mr. Brunker became famous through tlhe sale of Brunker’s Balsam, which is still sold these many years after his death. The Centennial book reports: “The fame of the elixer was spread by a fine medicine show which toured 'the country in a brightly colored circus wagon drawn by horses.” Showman Brunker then bought and moved the old Ascension Seminary building and converted lit into an opera house, which was a pbpular spot before the movie era. There are many interesting items in the Centennial handbook, its early history, its men of medicine, of education, and of God. Os special interest is a list of statistics compiled iby Rev. A. M.

man and published in the Farm-er-burg Bee in 1909. All communities probably have their “poet laureate”. When Farmersburg celebrated its centennial, Bryce Dickerson penned an appropriate bit for the occasion which ended with: “God surely loved this town a lot To make it such a garden spot So always in your heart do pray That God will keep it just this way.” 1 So far He has.
