There’s an old saying that until the proverbial cows come home, nothing can be accomplished. Well, the cows did come home, and in their own good time despite needing a little help, for Marion and Co.

And another thing. Deacon James Roger reports there were many sleighs out as folks were enjoying the clear sunny day. Can you just imagine it? What a beautiful sight it must have been.

I like the dark colour of the ground level of the church. And the dark shutters. It makes it appear more solid and impressive. Wish they would paint it like that again.

Nice photo of the church showing how open were the marshy fields beyond it. That may be the Barrett Mansion in the distance. Into the 1960s church attendees either had to "hold it" or visit the foul outhouse behind.

Marion was amazing. She was a cowgirl and cow midwife, shepherd, violinist, cook, champion wood chopper, actress in a local play called "Just Like a Woman", hostess for the Wapack Lodge, put on Thanksgiving feasts, and I'm sure more that I don't know about.
