Yeow, I grew up in this church too until the "big split" and easily remember the Garbers. Mom and Dad were married in this church in '38 or maybe '39..... and it's where I first smelled "hell fire and brimstone", first "went forward" and even got baptized there!.....mac ----- Original Message ----- From: BRWest@aol.com To: IADECATU-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 11:43 AM Subject: [IADECATU] Re: Brethren Church Mar 1943 Leon Journal-Reporter Barry - I grew up in this church and heard Angie Garber speak many times. She was a long time missionary to the Navajos in New Mexico. I can't post to the general web site (something off kilter in my workplace server) so can only respond to individual messages. Thanks for the memories. - Ed Poush, Grinnell. -----Original Message----- From: BRWest@aol.com [mailto:BRWest@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 4:20 PM To: IADECATU-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [IADECATU] Brethren Church Mar 1943 Leon Journal-Reporter found in grandmother West's scrapbook Barry West summary around names Brethren Church The Junior High class, taught by Ethel Bunch was the banner class upstairs, and the second year primaries, taught by Angie Garber, won the banner downstairs.
