Pastor Wightman Must Pay

New York, 1895

A special meeting of the board of health of Oyster Bay was held at Hicksville on Thursday to consider the plea for remittance of the fine imposed upon Pastor Wightman for a violation of the order of the board in holding service in his church. An appeal was made in his behalf before the board,and upon a vote being taken upon the question it was found to be the unanimous opinion of the members that the fine be allowed to stand. The board instructed its counsel, Joseph Steinert, to take measures to collect the amount of the fine at once.
