FIRST YEAR GROUP—This will be the first year that a 4-H Llama Club enters competition at the Elkhart County 4-H Fair, and Margo Unsicker, a leader for this group, reports that club members are enthusiastic and hard-working about their new adventure. Llama judging will take place Wednesday, July 26, 3p.m., in the beef-dairy arena. These photos were taken when the group entered several of their “projects" in a recent parade in Nappanee. Fair dates are Friday, July 21-Saturday, July 29, at the Goshen Fairgrounds. See schedule elsewhere in this week's issue. (Tim Fuller photos)

New theory on 'Hoosier' origin

For people in Indiana, at least, one of the most intriguing mysteries about the state’s past is where the expression “Hoosier” came .from. Explanations range front “husher,” a label given to uncouth frontiersmen, to the assumption that “Hoosier” was originally “hoozer” in the Cumberland dialect of England. Now comes a new theory that seems to have more substance than the others. Back in the days when the Methodist Church was expanding westward into Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, by way of circuitriding preachers, the Rev. Francis Asbury and other riders had a .raveling companion by the name of Harry Hoosier. Hoosier evidently had a way with words. In an article in the June 1995 issue of the Indiana Magazine of History, William D. Piersen describes the former slave as “small, very dark, physically powerful and keen-eyed, as well as an enthusiastic orator. “Hoosier was illiterate when he took his name, so his surname has no definitive spelling,” explained Piersen. “But the spellings his contemporaries gave it —Hoosier, Hosier, Hossier, Hersure, Hoshure, Hosure and Hoshyr—suggest the phonetic character of what must have been his own pronunciation.”

The uneducated orator, who had the nickname “Black Harry,” became a well-known camp meeting preacher. “Of course,” Pierson 'continues, “not everyone in early America looked with favor upon illiterate black preachers who preached to both white and black audiences, nor were more conservative southerners impressed with the whites who would heed a Negro’s admonitions on proper conduct and the way to salvation.” According to Pierson, southerners already looked down their noses at Methodists as unsophisticated and illiterate, but especially because Methodists questioned the morality of slavery. “Therefore, it does not seem at all unlikely that Methodists and then other rustics of the backcountry could have been called ‘Hoosiers’—disciples of the illiterate black exhorter Harry Hoosier —as a term of opprobrium and derision,”, wrote Piersen. “In fact, this would be the simplest explanation of the derivation of the word, and, on simplicity alone, the Harry Hoosier etymology is worth serious consideration.” The author noted that “Black Harry” was particularly disliked by Baptists in Virginia because he preached against Calvinism and the irrevocability of grace. In comparing the various explanations for “Hoosier,” Piersen concluded that the case for all of them is circumstantial, “but the best of the group in explaining how, where, when and why the term came into use is the theory that the word comes from a man’s name. Such an etymology would offer Indiana a plausible and worthy first Hoosier —’Black Harry’—the greatest preacher of his day, a man who rejected slavery and stood up for morality and the common man.” Harry Hoosier died in 1806. Methodism was spread to Indiana by circuit riders and through immigration of pioneers from Virginia and the Carolinas.
