Want Pastor Chockley to Resign.

New York, 1895

Pastor John Chockley, of the North Baptist church of Flushing, who has had a number of rows with his congregation, is again in hot water. The members complain that the minister does not preach to them often enough, and is frequently absent delivering lectures on single tax. They will hold a meeting and an effort will be made to compel him to resign.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, July 5, 1895, p. 1.

It should say the Rev. David Powell Chockley and not John.
