Evangelist Nickerson Stranded

New York, 1895

Never before in the history of church societies in Patchogue has an evangelist had to go through the experience which has befallen E. E. Nickerson of Boston.

Mr. Nickerson has been circulating a petition, asking for money to pay his past two months board bill and car fare to Boston. Mr. Nickerson has tried repeatedly, but without success, to sell his two silver cornets, banjo and guitar.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, Feb. 22, 1895, p. 1.
