(This is an entry from the journal entitled “Mexico Summer” written by Elizabeth Whipple Lancaster Carsey 80-years-ago)

Heard an interesting but rather odd Baptist sermon.  The preacher was young and was not accepting the “call” for reasons which are not very clear to us!  Met the Supt. and High School Principal as well as Dr. Paine who lived in Coah 38 years! Muriel Terry met us and returned to Roswell.  Not a sign from Van Horn or Sante Fe!

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:

The Cubbies take the Tigers 3-1 in Game 5 of the World Series.

Italian forces captured Adwa.

Communists in Mexico City tore the swastika flag from Germany’s honorary consulate and dragged it through the streets
