Almanac error sparks fear of judgment day in Gainesville
In Gainesville on July 17 a colored pastor J. D. Lovejoy warned his congregation of the end of the world based on a typographical error in Grier's 1908 almanac. The misprint changed 5:01 p.m. to 1:01 p.m. on November 26, prompting belief that Judgment Day would occur at noon. The pastor cited Amos and linked the misprint to the recent tornado scares, with St. Paul church destroyed in the storm.
