Fire at Trinity Episcopal Church

02/02/1880 |

Category:

A wreath of evergreens caught fire inside Trinity Episcopal Church.

More details

The burning wreath fell across a large Bible that had been given to the church by Lydia Sigourney.
The Bible was burned so badly that it could no longer be used.

Trust but verify

Information on this event comes from the May 16, 1910 article on Trinity Parish’s 50^th anniversary. So far, I haven’t found any contemporary reporting on this meeting.
