Reverend John Morrow of Harlem completed a lifelong task on Thanksgiving Eve. He sought to cast a perfect shadowpicture of Christ with a crown, using contrast and pasteboard cutouts. After years of work he finished the diagram the day before Thanksgiving and died that night, leaving a wall portrait of Christ on his study wall.
A preacher and his wife shaped pasteboard heads of Christ and hung them by a cord six inches from the wall to cast shadows in dim rooms. On Thanksgiving night the wife distributed the heads to the needy while giving thanks for her husband who completed the sacred task despite sorrow.
Louis Elsmere recalls a 1888 voyage where Captain George Dewey entertained officers with a fiddle on a yacht. Commodore McGowan caused a scene over gin before Dewey played a lively hoe-down, leaving Dewey the subject of naval joke and a vivid memory of hospitality and music.
