Didn't go to Sunday school today. Mother is still sick in bed. Aunt Kate and Uncle Laten came by and took me to the magazine shop.

The Missouri Pacific Railroad, also known as the MoPac,
was one of the first railroads in the United States west of the
Mississippi River. MoPac was a Class I railroad growing from
dozens of predecessors and mergers.

Missouri Pacific declared bankruptcy twice - once in 1915, when it
was reorganized and returned to operation as The Missouri Pacific
Railroad; and again in 1933, when it entered into a trusteeship. The
company was again reorganized and the trusteeship ended in 1956.
