Mountain Parsonage Near Walhalla West Union
A pastor writes from the Mountain Parsonage near the West Union depot detailing location, acreage, and improvements. He notes eight rooms, solid underpinnings, and fruit trees, aiming to fence the lot and complete furnishings. Donations from Walhalla Mill and other churches total funds, with additional gifts from Bishop Duncan and others, while urging timely collections and a visit to the parsonage. Cuba’s immigration last year reached 20,000 with three fourths Spaniards.
