Bill, The Archives and Library for the Disciples of Christ is in Nashville, TN. This facillility is run by the Disciples of Christ Historical Society. I contacted them in 1997 from information on their web page. At that time you could join the Disciples of Christ Historical Society for $20 a year and that entitled you to a few hours of research by a staff member. On their web page they had an index of their biographies available at the facility, and this index included my GGGrandfather who was a Disciples minister and missionary. They sent me a good number of excerpts from publications about my ancestor, and best of all, a copy of a photograph. At that time the facility was open to the public to go there and research. I found it interesting that in the late 1800s "The Watchtower" was a Disciple magazine. It was edited by J.W. Walsh in Newbern during the 1880's and by J. L. Winfield abt. 1895. During my younger years it was a magazine for the Jehover's Witnesses. I looked today online and their web page is no longer available, although I found the link in several places. I did find the information below: Disciples of Christ Historical Society Library and Archives 1101 19th Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37212 tel. 615-327-1444 Holdings: The archive and library at the Disciples of Christ Historical Society, founded in 1931, collects material pertaining to the Stone-Campbell Movement, which includes the Disciples of Christ, the Churches of Christ, and the Christian Churches.

I have a copy of Rountree Chronicles signed by Charles C. Ware, which I purchased years ago. Have talked with them about donating it to the college. In his signing he states this is the very first copy sold to his friend. E. Leon Roebuck. Also have another book of Dr. Ware's entitled Tar Heel Disciples 1841-1852. There were a couple of other books by Mr. Ware that I donated to Sheppard Library. Bill [. __,_._,___
