Marty, Are you saying here that James Stem was a Deacon at Kingdom, or that Thomas Sanders Stem was the Deacon? I know Thomas Sanders Stem was a Deacon, but haven't heard about James. Our records prior to 1962 are lost, and we have tried to piece together as much history as much history as we could. Mrs. Ella Cook provided a lot of information before she died. Also, if you happen to run across anything about the Kingdom Church in your research, please let me know. With the old obits that we stumble across, we have pieced together a list of some of the members from years ago. Thanks for all you do!!!!!
