    3. Indianapolis (IN) Recorder, January 28, 1899, p. 2. NEVER SAW A NEGRO A special from English, Indiana, says: A family of colored people have settled in Union Township, this county. They are supposed to be the same driven out of Oil Township, Perry County, because of their color. The majority of the people of Union Township never before saw a Negro and when (one) of the girls appeared in a schoolroom a few days ago, three-fourths of the white children fled in terror. The teacher refused to admit her to a class asserting that he had not been employed to teach a Negro school and that there were no "mixed schools" in Crawford County. The matter is still unsettled.
