Souvenir History of Bruce Beach/1894-1921

1900

In 1900 Mr. James S. Anderson purchased the Kennedy-Jackson cottage, which has since been greatly enlarged and beautified. From the beginning of the encampment the founders insisted on a reverent regard for the Sabbath, and for religious worship. Accordingly religious services were held each Lord's Day evening in a tent furnished by Mr. James Anderson, and later in the open air on McCosh's flats, near the hill leading to the road. The colony was thus auspiciously begun.

1902

In 1902 Mr. Chapman built a cottage now known as the Harris Cottage. The Harris family having acquired it a few years later.
