April 25, 1943. Easter

Easter occurred on the latest possible calendar date of the year in 1943, the last time it had done so being April 25, 1886. This will next occur on April 25, 2038, which I probably won't be around to see in my temporal form.

President Roosevelt attended Easter services at Ft. Riley, Kansas. His wife Edith was in Los Angeles.

My parents would have attended Easter Mass, assuming they had not the night prior, and likely have enjoyed a celebratory midday Easter meal.

Polish American children in Buffalo, New York, waiting to have Easter baskets of food blessed at their local parish on Easter Saturday. The food was for Easter Sunday.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
