"Golden Jubilee of
Swedish Baptist Temple."
Portland Oregon-1934
"The
honor of being the only living charter member of the Swedish Baptist Temple at
East Seventh and Clackamas Streets, Portland, was bestowed upon our Mother,
Grandmother and Great-Grandmother, Mrs. August Palmblad, when the church
celebrated its Golden Jubilee-January 1st to 7th, 1934.
"Mrs. Palmblad was present during the Anniversary
Services and took an active part.
"On Tuesday, January 3rd of this service, a history of
the events of the church was given. Included in this was a talk by Paul
Palmblad, who spoke regarding the prevailing conditions at that time. All
of Mrs. Palmblad's children and several of her grand children were present at
this service to show her the esteem to which she is held.
"May we all follow in her footsteps and uphold her
traditions for the betterment of Christianity, the Home and the Church."
