Much Good Is Done by Church in 1917
Friends of the Union Congregational church report the past year was its best spiritually and financially. The Pett estate yielded over 4500 for a parsonage at 1320 Jefferson Street, a church gallery, a new furnace, and paving funds. Total church giving reached 1669 with 500 from others in the church. Sixty six joined, 39 adults baptized, and 11 infants. The church bought coal for members repaid in weekly installments. A civic league formed December 20 to improve the third precinct playground and park. Officers and committees listed for 1918 include trustees, deacons, Sunday school, Endeavor, and Christian Endeavor chairs. Card of thanks to bereaved friends follows.
