Lost Commencement Sermon in Gainesville Delayed Train Return
In Gainesville a commencement sermon for Gainesville High School was preached by Rev H C Christian after Rev M L Troutman failed to arrive due to a broken Gainesville Midland train near Athens. Troutman sought transport, but delays and engine boiler water issues forced a long wait before a car finally carried him to Gainesville as the service began and the congregation listened to Christian. The episode highlights both Troutman’s prior Gainesville ties and the practical travel woes of the period.
