Bloomington Organ Foes Split Over Carnegie Dedication
In Bloomington the $2,500 Carnegie organ dedication at Kirkwood Avenue Christian Church recalls the 1841 church founding and a fierce vote over instrumental music led by Amzi Atwater and opposed by Abraham Smith alias Dr Oregon Smith.

Helvie, claiming his affair with Miss Clara Bailey and love letters, with allegations of trips to Porto Rico and a second visit to St. Louis.
