Thursday, October 3, 1901. Victorolas and the Episcopal Church.

Today In Wyoming's History: October 3: 1901  The Victor Talking Machine Company incorporated.

 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.
