Hadley Gift To Fund Girls Industrial School Site
Delegates from state branches of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union visited Flatjey Indiana to accept a 120 acre gift for a girls industrial school. Addison Hadley donated the land, two miles west of Danville in Hendricks County, with the state to build suitable buildings and a large workshop. The project will educate and train girls from local dormitories and reform schools, with initial support from donations and later self-sustaining labor. Hadley, a prominent local Quaker landowner, is described as generous and community minded.
