Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hand Book of the First Presbyterian Church, Burlington, Iowa
In this room, Mrs. Jerry Lamson gathered her own, and a few other children, and formed a Sabbath School. Mrs. Lamson was very much in earnest, and was general manager; acting often as Superintendent, Librarian and Teacher, the same day. When the Oregon fever became epidemic here, Mr. Lamson decided to go; but his wife said that she would never consent to the trip unless the whole party would make a pledge to rest from Saturday night to Monday morning. Finding her resolute in her determination, the pledge was finally given, and the party proceeded.' Mrs. Lamson, through the kindness of a friend, had secured a small Sabbath School Library, which she took with her; and every Lord's day during the long journey overland, taking many months.
