James Roger diary entry
6th July 1913
Warm day; wind north west. Mr. Lord preached Communion sermon from the text "for as oft as, etc.“ No S. S. Mrs. Thayer paid her quarterly 5 cents. Evening service at 7 P.m. The tolling bell not working.
Wonder what the problem was with the tolling bell. Was that an omen?
I just read comments previously made about Clarence White's obit. The Whites Summered in what became Dr. Cayward's home. The White family was a traveling musical family troupe with Clarence playing the clarinet. Now is the home of Peg Lee.
