Farewell to Elder Choules

Monday May 16, 1905 - Carlisle - Fine day.

Elder Haven and I arose about 8:30 and while Sister Lightfoot was preparing breakfast, Mary Agnes and I got the shoemaker tools and fixed my shoes.  After breakfast we came down to the lodge.  Spent the forenoon in reading about two o'clock P.M., Pres. Adams and I went up to the Lightfoot's to call on them.  Returning to Atkinson's at 4 o'clock as we Elders and the Saints were all going to have our photos taken.  The photographer got permission from a Church of England Minister to let us be taken in his garden which he consented to when we left, the Minister said the grass would grow better for having the Saints on it.  After the photos were taken we Elders took tea at Sister Atkinson's, after which we all went to the Hall, 47 Scotch St. to attend a farewell party given in honour of Elder Albert Choules.  He was released to go home.  We had an enjoyable time.  Program was rendered first after which refreshments were served and the remainder of the time was spent in playing games.  It was eleven o'clock P.M. when we dismissed our party.  Elder Hazen and I returning to Upperby, it was about 1 A.M. when we had prayer and retired.
