James Roger diary entry

23^rd February 1913

Frosty; roads very slippery with greasy feeling. Mr. Lord preached from the text:  “and the Christians were so called first at Antioch.” Very thin attendance, owing to state of roads and for same reason there is to be no evening service. S.S. after church. George Sargent drove past with Carrie Lowe and Elizabeth Preston to Fitchburg to get Boston train. G.S. Wheeler got our ice saw, picks, and tongs; also took away the ice cream pails from Hall.
