Body of message reads, Dear Friends, We have been having a delightful time here and the outdoor life and rest has benefitted me. We are contemplating moving nearer you as Mr. Mores has a call to the West Pullman Church. We shall be very glad to go nearer Sarwey, where we shall hope to see you more frequently. With love, Julia E. Moses. Addressed to, Mr. and Mrs. Crossman, 157th St. Starwey, Ill. The tree spring gave the appearance of water flowing out of a bung in a maple tree. The tree was behind the Billy Sunday Tabernacle. People were amazed at this phenomenon. More than fifty years after the discovery of the tree spring a man admitted to running some piping in the hollow spot of the tree to make it appear that the water was coming from the tree. |
