Jeanne Sundberg presents Steen History to Parish Historian Robert M. Kelly, Jr

JEANNE SUNDBERG PRESENTS STEEN BOOK GIFT TO PARISH

In 1972 the Reverend Edward Story had the History of Christ Church published in a limited numbered edition. James Steen had penned this work c 1900 and covered the parish’s history for its first 200 years. The book had never been published but that was enabled by Father Story working with the Steen estate.

Reverend Story presented Copy #1 of the publication to Louise Jost, Shrewsbury historian and founder of the Shrewsbury Historical Society. Ms. Jost believed that special copy should be with the church and gave it to Jeanne, a friend and parishioner.

On the evening of the Lantern Tour Ms. Sundberg donated this copy to the parish library and archives.
