A Sunday Sunday life story begins in the Boston Post, detailing Billy Sunday’s rise with new facts from his relatives and hometown in the West. The weekly liberal installments promise exclusive photographs and family snaps as the revival unfolds.
A long narrative traces Billy Sunday’s roots from Squire Corey’s Indiana farm to the Ames Iowa settlement. It recounts Mary Jane Coreys and the early log cabin home, Squire Coreys mill, and William Sunday’s enlistment and death in the 1862 Civil War, followed by the birth of William Asher Sunday.
The piece recalls Billy Sunday’s Iowa childhood on the Corey farm with Ed Sunday and other boys. It details the farm’s landscape, family routines, early mischief, and Squire Corey’s stern guiding hand as Billy grows from a windy boy to a future evangelist.
A new chapter of the biography will run in the Daily Post later this week and a large instalment with text and pictures appears next Sunday. The feature is printed in neat magazine form in the Boston Sunday Post for easy saving in sections.
