Dear Linda, I do not know the mailing address for the Gotham Church, but their minister Pastor Keith Aurand gave a special service on September 9, at the Brown Church in Bear Valley. On the flyer for that day was his phone number and email address. He serves three churches, Wyoming Valley, Avoca and Gotham. His address is kaurand@mhtc.net. I have a copy of the church pictoral for the Gotham United Methodist Church from around 1970, on the first page is a history of the church and it mentions your ancestors and also the window. I think it is a fairly small congregation, and that may be the reason for the delay in your reply. If someone from there does not take a picture or send one, I would be willing to go there and take one with my camera for you.

Thank you so much for this information, Sandy. Before you go to the trouble of taking the photo yourself, let me contact Pastor Aurand via email and see if he can assist me or provide a contact person who may be at the church itself. If this doesn't work, then I'd be more than happy to reimburse you for whatever costs you incur to photograph this window. Thanks again...
