This Day in History: 1927-05-02
Seven Mahwah children were among the members of the Christ Church Sunday School who attended the annual services at the Epsicopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City for the presentation of missionary offerings. The representatives of the Suffern Church were among 2000 Sunday Schools in New York Diocese which contributed $46,970 to the cause. The members of the Junior Choir who marched in the grand procession were particularly impressed at passing through the Children’s Arch in the uncompleted Cathedral since they had contributed to its construction. The Mahwah children who attended were Betty Ellis, Majorie Sargent, Elizabeth Tibbals, David Hartwell, Wilbur Hartwell. Junior Rountree, and Cyrus Tibbals. (Bristow)
