Sunday School Is Cancelled

That's the good news. The bad news is: you have smallpox.

The cancellation lasted two Sundays — March 24 and 31, 1872. I suppose the Superintendent who made that decision was the same person as on April 7: Orsemus H. Spencer, brother-in-law to Harriet Hanks Chester.

Good to see that you've been able to get back to blogging. How did the kitty do?

Little Eliza didn't make it. She seemed to be doing better for awhile, but it didn't last. That's the risk of fostering -- about 20% of kittens die in the first ten weeks or so, especially when their mothers did't have good prenatal care.

Sorry to hear it :-(

I am so sorry you lost Eliza.
I was renting a room in Hampshire Illinois, where the landlady had several cats and Momma the cat took me as her person, and slept on me. I moved 4 days ago to be closer to work, and I miss her a lot.
John, are related to the Casbon Electric family?

Yes, I'm the grandson of one of the original 3 brothers. Many happy memories of exploring the store as a kid.
