Historically establishedA Seventy-Fifth Anniversary
The surviving cover identifies the event as Shamokin’s Diamond Jubilee and gives the anniversary span 1864–1939.
A Weeklong Program
The celebration dates run from Sunday, June 25, through Saturday, July 1. The public record uses that printed range rather than inferring dates from later recollections.
Cavalcade of the Coalers
A multi-episode pageant called Cavalcade of the Coalers formed part of the program. Its scenes were theatrical interpretation, so dramatized dialogue and characterizations are not reused as factual testimony.
