Thank you for posting this. My (how many greats I do not yet know) grandfather was a minister of this church. It helps to see some of the history of the family I know so little about. The pictures are wonderful!

I bought a book that had a bookplate for Natalie Cummings (Sept 7, 1914-Apr 12, 2000). Her father was Reverend at this church from 1905-1954. It was a child's book published in 1921 and appears to be a birthday gift, most likely her 7th birthday. Her address on the plate was the parsonage at 5 Plympton St and her funeral was at the church 6 Plympton St. She lived to the age of 85. Between the bookplate and her obituary, I almost feel like I knew her. Very pleased to find all the information on this page. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am a descendant of Samuel Fuller via his son John Sprague.
