New York, 1895
The Rev. W. E. Blandly, the new pastor of the Methodist Protestant church, has become very popular here. There will be services in the church next Sunday evening at 7 o'clock.
The creeks are all frozen over and the ice extends far out into the bay. Oyster-men are taking up the bivalves through holes in the ice, and eel spearing has become a recreation.
The members and friends of the Centerville avenue M. P. Church gave a large donation on Friday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ash, on old South road, to the pastor, the Rev. William E. Blandy. Over one hundred persons were in attendance. At the close of the festivities a hearty vote of thanks was given to the friends who had subscribed liberally from Jamaica, Springfield, Morris Park, Ozone Park, Woodhaven, Smithtown, South Jamaica, and Aqueduct.
