I was told that he was a missionary in China, as my father had a scrapbook with pictures from his mission trips. We also saw a book that he wrote for the SDA church, but I do not recall the name of it. And, when I was much younger, I saw a newpaper article from a Buffalo newpaper where he was preaching on the street corner and was actually egged by the crowd. I have tried to locate the article to no avail. What is your connection to William A. Westworth? I have also been looking for history on John Westworth who resided in the NY area. Do you have any info on him? Thanks! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
