Familiar Figures at the State Capitol
At the Andiana state capitol a group of long serving, little known staffers operate quietly. Samuel C. Shute, chief engraver for ten years, is a skilled mechanic who can fix elevators and climate systems. George Bingham, auditor’s office veteran, remains trusted across administrations. Mary Feacock, assistant deputy clerk, oversees supreme court affairs with ready assistance to attorneys and reporters. Maggie Irwin, matron of the appellate court, is beloved for her smile and steady presence. A colored janitor, Bill Hollingsworth, known for watermelon feasts, is popular with workers and voters. Other figures include Henry Levy and poet John Males, whose verses echo the capitol’s life, plus Capt. Isaac Hitt and elevator man Bob Batley, loved by visitors and children alike. The statehouse functions as a close-knit, capable community of about 299 people.
