Tabernacle Sold
Earlham College trustees yesterday paid $2,200 for the [Richmond] tabernacle as it stands at South Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. The check was paid to Ed Wilson, treasurer of the Sunday campaign and chairman of the salvage committee, which committee closed the deal.
It will be removed after the campaign closes. The Charleston, W. Va. tabernacle was sold for $1,000 and the money divided among the members of the Sunday party.
When the Charleston tabernacle was razed, men and boys spent days turning over the sawdust and many dollars in nickels, dimes, pennies and quarters were found.
