Newburg residents celebrate Katherine Seeger who refused to stop playing cards at a church event despite pastor Frank A. Stoddard’s ultimatum to dismiss her from the Moulton Baptist church choir. Seeger, a stenographer for County Judge A. F. H. Seeger, explained she had no hostility toward the pastor, only a difference of opinion, and recalled a small card party at her sister’s home where the group played Five Hundred with a modest prize. She emphasized she had not broken church laws and had not withdrawn from church attendance.
