Realized that this couldn’t be correct… in 1917 Knox Church would have been Presbyterian. I did a little research on this, and it’s been noted here:

Fixed. Thank you!
… it was entered by Rev. P.T. Pilkey… who seems like an interesting fellow.

(interesting, Rev Cornet thought Blodwen Davies was a man)
What a fascinating tangle!
