Every chapter of the Stokely Chronicle requires all kinds of research.

This week I’ve been working on Volume 2 of The Stokley Chronicles. This new story will carry the people of Stokely Free Church deeper into the greatest war the world has ever known.

10. When did they catch the train? Railway Schedules

9. When was sunrise that day? Sunrise / Sunset times (and phases of the moon)

8. What hymns did they sing? Hymnals

7. What was that like? December 29, 1940
