This Day in History: 1912-04-15
Mrs. Dykema persuaded her husband, the pastor of the Ramapo Reformed Church, to take her on a trolley ride. While they were gone, friends and parishioners decorated the Parsonage for a cotton party to celebrate their two years of marriage. The couple were given cotton bags of money. The Darlington Chapel alone filled ten of them. This “cotton” money totaled $33. Abram Banta entertained with violin selections. A pleasant evening was spent by all. (Bristow)
