CHURCH AGAINST CHURCH; The Armed Conselyea Stands 'Twixt the Two Bushwicks. OLD SAYS REFORMED HAS GHOSTS Whereat the Reformed Is Angered, and Its Pastor, the Rev. W.D. Perry, Will Preach on "The Haunted Church."
The disturbance of the bones of Charles Conselyea's brother from the family vault, where they had rested for the last twenty-five years, is fast becoming a cause of strife and bitterness between the congregations of the Old Bushwick Reformed Church and the Old Bushwick Church of Brooklyn.
Isn't history so cool (and spooky).
Blessings,
