Scope and content
On December 3, 1935, Bishop Lemuel H. Wells helped to shovel the first bit of concrete for the foundation of the reconstructed St. Luke's Memorial Episcopal Church. It was the bishop's 94th birthday. Assisting the seated Bishop Wells is the current rector of St. Luke's, Rev. Arthur Bell. Bishop Wells was the rector of St. Luke's when it was built a half-century ago at Sixth and Broadway. The church was razed in 1934 and its stone removed to 36th & No. Gove. (TNT 12-4-35, p. 3-alt. photograph)
