* I found several citations for Rev. Tyng in the index of George Strong’s diary. George is vaguely insulting in the ones I looked up. Not surprising, since Strong is strictly high church and The Reverend Tyng is of the Evangelical Episcopal persuasion. The next mention comes on March 27.

** A skeptical George Strong viewed the Assumption and wrote about it on January 18th (reply #9).
