THOMAS E. NOLAN, proprietor of the Sherman House at
Crawfordsville, possesses the requisite qualities of a Boniface
to an eminent degree, and enjoys the high regard of the traveling
public. First-class accommodations are furnished by the hotel,
and the table service is of a character not surpassed, if
equalled, by any house with the same rates in the State. The
hotel contains twenty-eight rooms, well furnished and neatly
kept, for the accommodation of its guests. Notwithstanding the
high character of the accommodations, the rates are only $1 per
day, and meal tickets are sold for $3.50. The weary traveler who
once seeks rest within this pleasant hostelry invariably returns
to it upon a second visit to Crawfordsville.
A native of Crawfordsville, Ind., our subject was born July 25, 1856, and is a son of James and
Ann (Kelly) Nolan, both of whom were born in Ireland, the former emigrating to the United States when a young man. The maternal grandfather of our subject, Michael Kelly, emigrated to Canada when his daughter Ann was a young girl, and later came to Crawfordsville where he engaged in the grocery business. He also worked on a canal at La Fayette. His death occurred in Crawfordsville in 1874. James Nolan came to this city as a contractor on the New Albany Railroad, with headquarters at Crawfordsville, and built several miles of that road. Subsequently he was engaged as contractor on the Vandalia Line, and also on the main line. In Terre Haute, this State, he was united in marriage with Ann Kelly, who still makes her home in Crawfordsville. He died in 1876, at the age of sixty-four years. In the family of James and Ann Nolan there were five children, two of whom died in childhood; John died at the age of twenty-one, and Sallie when sixteen. The only survivor is Thomas E., the subject of this notice. From boyhood he has been in the hotel business and is familiar with every line of the work. At the age of fourteen he assisted his mother in conducting the National House, and continued in that connection for two years. He was with the "Robbins" for one year and the "Sherman" nineteen years. His mother resided with him until his marriage and still retains the ownership of the property,
In his social connections, Mr. Nolan is identified with the Knights of Pythias, Uniformed Rank. While he is not an active partisan, and has never desired official positions, he has always been interested in local political affairs, and is a stanch adherent of Democratic principles. In his religious belief, he is a member of the St. Bernard Catholic Church. His marriage occurred April 11, 1883, and united him with Miss Lizzie Bane, of La Fayette, Ind., an amiable lady whose active co-operation has been invaluable to her husband, and whose social position is one of prominence.
