I’ve had this idea floating around in my head thanks to Mastodon posts by Hannah Howe. I don’t know if I’ll stick with it, but here is my first attempt.
From The Michigan Christian Advocate – January 7, 1926
Rev. William Chapman of Traverse City, suffered a painful accident to his hand, but still has nine-tenths of his good right hand left for service.
The White Gift services at South Lyon and New Hudson this year were highly successful in decoration and pageantry, finding response in gifts of $105 and $32 respectively for the Children’s Home.
(Note: $105 in 1926 is calculated to be roughly $1,922 today. $32 would be $585).
Mrs. Lincoln Ostrander, wife of the pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church at Davison lost part of her leg while saving a girl from an interurban car in Goodrich.
A vote for unification by the Annual Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South failed – 4,528 in favor, 4,108 against (3/4 majority required for approval.)
