Mama has told you “how we come to have” the radio and it is such a joy! It makes us feel so happy to have it and will help so much to have it at the holiday time. – Shirley Dobson to Vance, 1932
Christian
character was all-important to Ina, and she supported the little church near
the cemetery the best she could. Perhaps on Sundays during advent the
congregation enjoyed singing the old familiar Christmas carols and hearing
messages of hope in these uncertain times.
The congregation had dwindled since the early homesteading days, and the minister now came only once a month, but that didn’t stop the congregants from congregating. However, mud and slush would, so today church was cancelled due to a rain/snow mix that was making the roads muddy and practically impassable.
Instead, our family enjoyed a quiet day of Bible study and reading and in the evening, they listened to special radio programming out of Portland. KW
