The celebration was huge. New Market celebrated with a parade, a festival, and a historical pageant. New Market made centennial souvenirs - pitchers, trivets, key chains, wooden nickels, and a Centennial History Book. Imogene DeBusk, a teacher at New Market Elementary, wrote A Century of Progress, the definitive history of the town of New Market. Mrs. DeBusk thoroughly researched the beginning of New Market and the pioneers who helped build it. She interviewed several people for the book. In the beginning of the book she writes, To The Reader - A CENTURY OF PROGRESS is the history of the town of New Market, Indiana from 1872 to 1972. It is a compilation of stories and facts derived from many resources. To everyone who contributed in any way to this Centennial Book I wish to express my sincere thanks. Imogene DeBusk worked many long hours writing this book. I know because Imogene is my grandmother and I remember watching her work in her temporary office downtown. She typed the book by hand on her old typewriter. Suburban Press in Crawfordsville printed books for the Centennial celebration. At one time there were boxes and boxes of those tan-covered books but now it's difficult to find a copy. That's why I'm re-publishing this book, in order to preserve New Market's rich history. Unfortunately I don't have the photos my grandma compiled, so none of the photos from the original book are included. I know my grandma would be happy this history book is still available. May you enjoy reading all about New Market's early years "
