Rowdy Waco Boys Disrupt Church (in 1874)

Continuing with a review of 19th century life in Waco, Texas, the Waco Daily Examiner, on this day in 1874, reported that a group of boys gathered beneath the Baptist church windows on Sunday and conversed at such a volume that it disrupted the service.  The article admonished the boys, saying, "This sort of thing is very reprehensible, and the boys should go inside next time.  We are sorry to have to make this complaint."
