In a recent historical commentary — inviting churchgoers to an event at Appleton Farm — the long-dead Daniel Appleton was lauded for funding my church’s original construction in 1869.
All well and good. But the commentary went on to say this:
Although living in New York City, Appleton Farms was the family summer home and Ipswich benefited from Daniel’s civic-minded spirit.
Which is to say, Appleton Farms managed to be living in the Big Apple and serving as the summer home, all at the same time.
Heresy?
