The Indian Memorial Cottage is a i
project of the Indian community on the
Odum Home campus. The cottage will
memoralize the memory of past Indian i

Home Children's Home was an or
phanage for Indian children only. The
Odum Home campus is now a part of
the Baptist Children's Home network.
The cottage was recently dedicated
and is nearing completion. The dinner is

inflation and finish the labor of love.
The cottage will house 12 students and
house parents in a "home" setting.

tee and served with distinction.
Also providing entertainment at the
dinner will be the popular gospel
singing group, the Harpertones. Other

Dr. English E. Jones will serve as
master of ceremonies.
The cottage, when completed, will cost
approximately SI80,000 with at least
half of that given in free labor by Indian
artisans and tradesmen.
Dr. Jones said recently, "Our goal in
building the Indian Memorial Cottage is
simply to honor our Indian prede
cessors who began Odum Home with
the help of many people of many races
and kept the doors open through
difficult times. We want to memorialize
their memories. We do not want our
children to grow up not knowing about
these wonderful people. They set a good
example for all of us. We prize their
memory and wish to memorialize it for
the generations to follow."
