A Birthday Surprise

In 1886, little Frank Mc Cloud was diagnosed with bone erysipelas, an infection of the bone. As a result, he was confined to bed for several months. On his 11th birthday in February of 1887, the Chuckery community came together in order to surprise young Master Frank. Several of his school friends came to his house with presents. And, after supper, the neighborhood held a "magic" lantern celebration with music provided by the Chuckery Brass Band.
