I have a new one for those who do not have an answer for the ear marks. I was reading a personal acct. of my grandfather who homesteaded in the Dakotas, and he said they enjoyed going to the "literaries" a couple times a month weather permitting. When I think of literary clubs I think of book clubs. Do you suppose these were book readings or church services? I have to admit it has me stumped... Myrth Sunday
