1942 Agnes Knox & Blanche Chappell in Black Stockings

From the early 1900’s to sometime in the 1940's and into the 1950s in some areas,
professing women were expected to wear black stockings.

This peculiarity resulted in their church being nicknamed
"The Black Socks" and "The Black Stocking Church."

Blanche Chappell (1884-1978) wrote 2 hymns:

387 Bravely Tread the Path
367 Hold Fast Thy Confidence

She was from England, entered the work in 1907; came to Eastern Canada in 1908
