On This Day October 25

On October 25, 1764 the daughter of a Congregational minister, Abigail, married John, who was the son of a farmer. The minister was so enraged that she was marrying beneath her that the lesson he read was from Luke 7 v33, "John came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine and some say he has a devil in him." John Adams (1735-1826) later became the second president of the United States.
