Masquerade Ball for my Great Grandfather Eddie
I discovered more information about my great grandfather, Rev. James B. Eddie. In the Carson City News in Sept. 28, 1896 he invited those "who wish to take up some literary work during the coming winter" to meet at the rectory at eight o'clock. Twelve people signed up to the Leisure Hour club which met between 1896 and 1900 at St. Peters under Rev. Eddie. In 1900 the article indicates he resigned to become Dean of the Cathedral, Salt Lake City, Utah. Nevada State Museum Newsletter, May/June 2000 The article also includes of photo of a Masquerade Ball honoring Eddie and his wife. The literary club still existed in 2000.

Over a 100 years later and that Book club is still meeting - that's gotta be some kind of record. Well done Rev. Eddie.
