Baptist Church The church originally stood about 102 East Main Street. It was built in 1886, closed down in 1923. It was torn down shortly after closing.

Christian Church - Waveland - Waveland's Christian Church with Rodney Coffman as minister dates back to November 1867 when two churches (Bank Springs and Antioch) were combined. Some of the materials from the Antioch church were used to build the one seen today at a cost of $5,000. The formal dedication however did not occur until December of 1890. The church has Sunday school rooms, a nice kitchen, a church library and much more to offer. I noticed the other day when I drove through town it has a nice metal roof. Another view having additions with different entrance -- an earlier view than previous -- list of charter members still living in 1907
Point of Interest - Source: Crawfordsville weekly Journal 9 Jan 1873 p 3
Waveland -- The friends of the Christian Church had a large tree on New Year’s eve, loaded down with such things as sacks of flour, meat, sausage, sugar, coffee, tea, lard, chickens (alive and dressed), canned fruit, potatoes, greenbacks, shoes, dresses, etc. all for the benefit of the poor widows and orphans of the village and vicinity. There was a sack of flour for every widow in town. How pleasant it would be if such trees would bring forth fruit more frequently. In our joy and mirth we forget the poor and bestow most of our gifts to our friends. Mr. Morris, pastor of the Christian Church, deserves much praise for taking the lead in this noble enterprise.
Dave Fullenwider took this picture of "an old printing plate (part of a set) of the Christian Church building. Don’t know how old but one of them is made of copper and it shows a reverse image." THANKS MUCHES DAVE

Gilliland "I don't know the Haskett house, but think it might be the one where Gary Dillman once lived, to the upriver end of the valley where 234 turns north again. Bunk Haskett…can't remember who he was, but something dim makes me think he worked at the Shades when we lived there."

Freedom Church -- Early member, Elizabeth Hannah said, "Now, we have Freedom" thus the name of the church. Located in Brown Township just 5 miles north of Waveland (corner of County RD 650 and State Road 234) the beautiful cemetery sit across the highway overlooking the church. A permanent meeting house was established in December 1837 - a log cabin, 24' x 36' and in May 1838 a lot was chosen on Caleb Conner's land. 78 members strong by January 1842, by December 1850, the church roll totalled 169. This particular building (later improved much) was dedicated in August of 1883. "Uncle Billy Miles" (William J.) was an aide in the remodeling done i 1921. He went across Illinois over muddy roads to get seats for the church. He was a member of the church from February 1865 to his death in August 1928. The church had its first Vacation BIble School in 1961 and Freedom has remained active in this sense. The church is referred to as, "The Light House on the Corner." In 2014, the minister is the Rev. Jim Ranard.
Source: Waveland Independent June 2, 1933 At the Freedom Homecoming the brass quartet from the Waveland band: Donald Douglas; Ben Canine; Imogene Canine and Wilmer Sharp gave several numbers and Imogene Canine rendered a cornet solo accompanied by Mrs. Ben Canine.

Gilliland, John W. -- My uncle, John Gilliland, harvesting sorghum with a single row corn picker… Assuming this is after the war as he had a big farm sale and sold most of the farm equipment before he went off to the war..

Another black/white view of the old High School and a colored one - same photo as this one --
High School & Gym (although this is marked June 1912 the gym was not built until the late 1930s (through a WPA deal) so I'd say this is like 1937-38 -- one below is similar and near the same time

Liar's Bench -- Thanks again to JD Gilliland for this super picture (you can even read the labels in Charlie Moore's store window). My gpa' used to sit on the liar's bench. Lots of "discussions" and probably fish stories told there :) Left to right -- Charlie Moore; Hubert Loudermill and grandson; George Woodcook; Bill Shular (my gpa's best friend so surprise my gpa' isn't there); Nellie (Henry "Nelson") Miles and "Old" Harmon. This pic was sent to "John" who was probably John Gilliland who was in the service - so timeframe is likely about 1942-44.
Lions' Club - Tribute to those who served in the Armed Forces - this aggrevates me somewhat as there are several others (including my father and grandfather - my father lived here over 50 years and my grandfather was born and raised in the area - and there are others, as well plus some were born here, lived here through high school and gone the rest of their lives - not really contributing to the community much or at all) not included; however, I knew most of them on here - they are well deserving and loved & appreciated 'em all - just wish all who served from the area were included :( Must be my band wagon, sorry :) kbz

McClain, Gilbert - see Kritz, Frank
McDuffy Cabin - thanks to Dave Fullenwider for catching that I had not noted where this was -- I BELIEVE (not 100% but about 85% sure) that this sat on the property of Lawrence Servies about half way down on the north side of the road going out of town on Highway 59. I vaguely remember it - just an old dumpy place when I was about 4-5 and went with my gpa' to Lawrence's for strawberries and other items he sold. It was long gone by the time I was 13 and did a paper route. - kbz

M.E. (Methodist Episcopal) -- Green Street - about 1910 ? - this building is still standing but it is not in good shape at all - another view - this had all kinds of orange spots on it - I cleaned up several but still some --- see Waveland Covenant for more information on this church - another one of the newer Methodist Church but before it was remodeled with the new big, front steps. Another view from the north east in 1959.
Covenant United Methodist Church -- In September 1965, under the guidance of Rev. Walter Porters, the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches of Waveland formed the above church. Methodism in Waveland went back to a circuit rider preaching at the McCormick home just north of Waveland in the year 1825. It was not until 1842 when this organization was deeded property from John & Lucinda Milligan in order to construct a church, this church being a rough, wood structure replaced by a brick building in the late 1860s. The first parsonage was presented to the church in 1878 by Andrew McCormick. In 1828, the Waveland Presbyterian Church organized and church was held November 28th. One of the three founders of Wabash College, Rev. James Thompson headed-up this group. Strict discipline reigned with the first churches in this area. Although a small group in 2012, wonderful folks still attend and put forth effort for the community / church.
Milligan Building -- includes another, more clear view at a later time. (thanks, Larry Dean for the 2nd photo)

There is still (2013) a concrete pier standing behind the little garage of the first house which would have been the ne corner of the barn. Thanks so very much to Jay D. Gilliland for this COOL picture of yesteryear!

Patton, Charles -- see Kritz, Frank
Patton, Charles - Grain Elevator (thanks to CDPL) Charles Patton Grain Elevator -- here is what Peggy Stewart Knepper thought about this picture -- I'm not sure but this Grain Elevator could have been on or close to where I grew up at 201 S. Cross Street, Waveland, Ind.. My parents owned the house on the hill to the creek where a railroad use to go through. My parents said before they bought the house back in 1945 the house was a stop for the train. There was also a cement "like" pool in the back yard by the house and the sidewalk in the front yard had a sidewalk all the way to the S. Cross street that had a circle walk half way down it. Following the creek going east, our family use to call "the hillside" had what we called " horses " we played on. They were made of cement, they might have been maybe 4 or 5 foot tall at one end and about a half foot shorter at the other end, from one end to the other it was smooth swayed "like a sway back horse", and was maybe a foot wide. My parents said these "cement horses" was part of the railroad that came through their land by the creek. I hope this will help and is the answer to your question.

Presbyterian Church - Waveland - this current Waveland Church basically is a combination of the Presbyterian and Methodist and is called the Waveland Covenant. An interesting service was advertised in the Waveland Independent, June 20, 1907 -- Next Sunday at 11 o'clock the pastor will preach. In the afternoon Prof. J.M. Coyner, Ph.D. who 50 years ago was one of the professors in the Waveland Academy will give a lecture - Woman's Work for the Salvation of Women in Utah." In the evening at 7:30 he will speak on the subject, "The Morman Hierarchy, the bitter foe of American Christianity." The lectures are free and everybody is invited.

Servies, Larry - definitely a town father of Waveland during my growing-up years. I think my mother, Kate Smith Bazzani may have interviewed Larry for this article.

Source: Weekly Argus News, Crawfordsville, Indiana April 17, 1897 p 4 The hotel at the Shades of Death will in all probability be in charge of a Crawfordsville man this season. Scott Steele, who formerly ran the old La Veta hotel in this city is in consultation with Wm. Detrick, of Waveland, today in regard to assuming control of hostelry. Mr. Steele in conversation with an Argus News man said that the deal had about been perfected and that unless some unforeseen circumstance should arise, he would be found in charge of the summer resort.

Shades Pavilion - thanks to Jeanna A for this one - I love it and have such fond memories of working at the Shades and hanging out here in this awesome old place with the great dance floor, ping pong tables ....
Shades Inn -- thanks again to Kat -- I worked in this building when I was a teenager. My very first cup of coffee I served went in a guy's lap. At first he was mad but I must have handled it well because we were best of buds before they went back to Chicago a few days later. He even told me I'd make a super waitress someday - since I married into the restaurant business, good thing!! kz --
Source: Waveland Independent newspaper, Waveland, Montgomery County, Indiana May 12, 1905 The Shades Hotel has been painted a modest combination of red, white and blue, and looks so much like an excursion steam boat that you fully expect to hear the whistle blow and the mates cuss.
Shades Inn, different pic - good there are other pics of this because this scan did NOT come out well - SORRY but I thought I'd leave it on just in case it looks better on someone else's computer :) kz

Shades - people gone crazy hanging on trees and such on cliffs at the Shades - perhaps a 1925-35 time - CDPL photo -- Another CDPL photo - 3 women visiting the Shades, can you imagine walking those trails in these clothes? Another CDPL photo showing a nut on a branch -- NEVER heard of this one - Dumpling Rocks & Cincinnati Bluffs - CDPL - think this is the bridge north of the Inn going back into the park - I walked across this or one in its place (it seemed bigger) many times to go hiking after working for hours at the Inn in 1964-66 when I waited tables in the old Inn - KZ -- boys stop for a drink at one of the springs in the Shades - Buzzard's Trail -- The Jolly Six area with three people enjoying the view -- #18 - Spring of Beauty in the Canyon -- Hemlock Falls at the Shades -- Sugar Creek at the Shades - CDPL - I think someone has tried to put a copyright type thing on this but it would be long outdated I'd think - anyway enjoy the Creek pic - it's awesome -- may be an early boat rental on Sugar Creek -- J.W. Frisz -- nifty pic of him - he was the overseer of Shades for many years -- Shades Inn -- on the left, facing the picture was a meeting area, dining area and kitchen; to the right were the rooms - not really sure how many there were but I'd say at least 15 - anyone know ?? I stayed in one on the higher level back side toward the Pavilion a couple of times when it was late when I got off work - the Overpecks, overseers at the time in the mid-1960s tried to keep one room open in case the girls needed it. View of the Inn from the Lagoon - oh, my I ice skating there many many times - what fun - someone always provided hot chocolate but no clue who or how :) This is what the entrance to the park looked like (on right viewing picture there was a small souvenir shop and the left looking at picture was the gate to pay plus the old Pavilion with one major wonderful dance floor :) Ahhh, memories ! Another Entrance View -- Unknown place at Shades State Park - is it the old entrance? Is it the way into the CCC Camp? What is it ???? ANY IDEAS :) -- Gatehouse -- actually, I had above entrance on the left side but CDPL said connected to the Pavilion on other side so think I'm right after all unless they changed it around which very well could be as one summer I worked there this part was a storage area for uniforms and such -- Dance Pavilion - this was soooo awesome :) == Souvenir Shop (not sure I've ever seen a pic of this - cool - memories :) == Souvenir Shop, backside -- Game Room in the Pavilion -- I've never heard it called, "The Stand" but it is here -- 1925-1930 era ? Or, earlier? -- Entrance with incoming folks and outgoing folks - I've seen it this busy, too -- The Shades Hack -- Leo Frisz driver and another year/different hack "to the Shades" (thanks JD) Another Shades Hack picture also sent by JDG -- The Speed Wagon, hack to the Shades State Park - boy is Clyde Marshall, marked 1913 - he'd have been about 14 -- he was the son of Cyrus -- the woman driver may be his mother, Susan Miles Marshall -- Hauck Family at the Shades - John; Walter; Pat & Helen -- CDPL photo - rather fuzzy :( -- Frisz family - the family almost all worked at the Shades for many years -- the father, Fabian Frisz was the main caretaker; J. W. Frisz stands behind his daughters: from left, Blanche Frisz, Helen Frisz Hauck, Ethel Frisz. -- Another Hauck Family picture; From left to right: Pat Hauck, Jean Hauck Clark, Helen Frisz Hauck, J.W. Hauck (standing), John Hauck, Joan Hauck Forester .-- I know Pat a little and most of the Forrester and babysit for JW's son, Tom Hauck's children for a few years when they lived in Waveland - great family :) Many long-gone :( -- On the CDPL site, this says this is Fabian Frisz but he doesn't look old enough to be to me -- Steamboat Rock -- Indian Trail -- please don't ask if this is THE Indian trail where Indians walked in the area - no clue - this would have been 100 years later so who knows?? -- Mansfield Sandstone at Shades State Park -- there was much sand and limestone in the area -- Bridge over Ravine -- this bridge was replaced more than once -- Spring of Beauty (by McCormick's Photo Studio - CDPL -- LONG before my time - not sure if this would have been a place to stay, if it's a maintance shack .... ?? Wish someone could tell us -- Upper Falls (and yep, there was a lower, much larger one) -- NOTE -- You can search the CDPL image database here - it's awesome but yep, there are a few they don't have I do and a whole lot they have I don't :) We like to share !!

Sharp, Wilmer Theodore (in his Drug Store. I loved to watch him twitch his ear -- he'd do it for an extra nickle -- it was worth every one I spent - kz). We called him Sharpie and everyone loved him !!
Sharp's Drug Store (I soooo remember those Cherry cokes and marshmallow sundaes - an everyday after school treat and I was SKINNY then too - go figure - kbz - newer view I think)

Spring of Youth - at Shades State Park - a part of the Crawfordsville District Public Library collection -- when I worked at the Shades in 1964-1966 I never remember seeing this and we walked on ALL the trails many times - what energy - worked from 6-9 for breakfast; trail until 11; back to work from 11-2 for lunch then sometimes I'd walk home (about 4 1/2 miles) or sometimes I'd work supper from 5-7 or so -- geez, I can barely walk in the other room now :) KBZ -- another shot of the Spring of Youth and, the Spring of Youth works for Paul Frisz
Stebbins Hotel -- see Hotel Stebbins
Spring -- any of you Wavelandites know for sure what this is - it looks to be the old Spring on what is now State Road 234 after you would have passed through the bridge and on around to the north - it was on the right maybe a mile on the right side before the Girls Scout camp ... OR ... is it in the Shades State Park -- I think it's the one I used to drink out of when a kid though on SR 234-- right or wrong ?? Thanks to Jeff S for this one :)
Street Scenes -- probably a pipe dream - could have probably just listed the few right here but would love 50-60 more :) --- kbz

Telephone Company Central Office, circa 1900 located in the Wolfe Building
I was born there --We lived in an apartment in the upstairs of the telephone office house. Grandparents lived downstairs and slept in a rollaway bed beside the telephone switchboard and woke up if anyone needed a late call. And the little room to the right end of the Y-shaped-porch was the entry to the little room with the stable door inside. There was a phone in it. You would go in ... open the top half of the inside door ... tell the operator the number you wanted ... she would connect you ... then tell you ... then after tell you what you owed for the call. The little room was only 5' square or so. Have a look at the door and the side window ... still has Coal Creek Telephone Company on the window
or door, I think -- this note by J.D. Gilliland thanks so much JD :)
Tex Terry - although Tex lived in Parke County (Coxville) he spent some time at the Vance's Cafe and other places in town in his huge car with steer horns on the front - what a hoot - thanks to Kat D for this one. Leona Miles Fox wrote this to me : "He is also buried in the Coxville cemetery. I remember him and his wife He owned the Coxville tavern AKA The Long Horn and when he had it you could go in and the walls were covered with pictures of people from Hollywood him and his wife knew and all of them were signed. I loved looking at the photos in there.." Thanks kiddo and here also is Tex's findagrave site if you'd like to find out more about this interestin' fella! .

Union Vespers - Waveland church together -- Source: Waveland Independent newspaper, Waveland, Montgomery County, Indiana 29 January 1942 The fourth Union Service was held last Sunday afternoon at the Presbyterian Church, this time with all four ministers and a large number of visitors present. Rev. Hartling delivered the sermon, while Rev. Elmore led in prayer, Rev. McBrayer led the responsive reading and Rev. Hessel conducted the singing and benediction. Mrs. Hessel played the piano. The next Union Service is planned for February 15 at the Methodist Church with Rev. Elmore preaching the sermon. - kbz

Vandalia Railroad (with train & folks) - see also Pennsylvania RR
Vandalia 2 (thanks Kat D for this one - I love it) -- I barely remember the train station but a little - I was born right at the end of 1949. Hmmmm, now I'm totally confused. This looks exactly like the one I have marked as Pennsylvania RR. Was it a different one - the PA one for awhile - my guess - or WHAT? Anyone know anything more about these stations. Also, anyone know what the big T-thing is on the building? It looks broken in this one and fixed in the one marked Pennsylvania RR - was it some way the signaled when the trains were arriving or is it broke??

-- Picture 5 -- LOVE to know who drove this #7 car - looks young
-- Note all the people on the hills watching -- I think Carol Presslor Coffman told me that her father had something to do with it. I know it was quite the excitement for many years in the little town.
