 A Victrola.

Delegates from the Diocese of Milwaukee and the Diocese of Colorado at the annual meeting of the clergy of the Episcopal Church of the United States, held in San Francisco, urged the church to change its name to "The American Catholic Church".

That's an interesting item in that it indicates that certain sections of the Episcopal Church were quite Anglo Catholic at the time.

He went to work in 1912 in San Francisco, returning home to Iowa sometime after that, and then moving to Denver where he entered the meatpacking industry, his occupation for the rest of his life.  He died in 1949.
