Summary

Description

A historical marker describes the first successful Caesarean section in the state of Indiana. The marker is located in Tippecanoe County along U.S. Route 52 south of Lafayette. The marker reads:

Site of first successful Caesarean section in Indiana

On the kitchen table of this house, the morning of November 6, 1880, Mrs. Luther Lucas, a farmer's wife, was delivered of a healthy infant son, after a mid-line incision made by Dr. Moses Baker, a pioneer physician-surgeon of Stockwell. Observed by six attending doctors who refused responsibility for its success or failure, it became the first in Indiana medical history in which both mother and child lived.
