From The Indianapolis News, Saturday, August 12, 1916: Thousands of men who came from counties around Indiana to live in Indianapolis are to be counted in a census that will be taken in the business district next week. The purpose is to organize reception committees to receive visitors from the old home-counties on “County Day,” October 6 as a feature of Indiana’s centennial observance. Each county will have a reunion of “exiles” and the “folk back home” culminating in a reunion of the whole state at the state fair coliseum. A force of young women, directed by W. C. Woodward and Max Hyman of the state’s centennial county day committee, will conduct this first census ever taken of the “exiles.” Sales of the Centennial Souvenir Book, showing the development of Indianapolis over the past fifty years, will cover expenses.
