Harry Van Loon

[Scott Pitta]

Looks like he was friends with Frank Ewart and was part of a mission near Azusa Street. He preached for a while in Oakland. He was AG and then was not.

Is there more info about him ? Why was he in Oakland ??

in 1913 Harry Van Loon was assistant Superintendent of the Pentecostal Gospel Mission, 6820 Denver ave, Los Angeles.

in 1920 Van Loon was pastor of the Full Gospel Assembly at 124 E. First St., Los Angeles.

In 1923 Cora, his wife was a widow living at 2445 Corralitas Drive, Los Angeles

The Oakland campaign was 10 days. September 8 was one of those days. Bro and Sis Garr are in charge after Van Loon left.

Looks like it was Alfred Garr (1874-1944) and Lillian Garr. They were early Pentecostal missionaries in Asia. They were stateside in 1911. So it could be them.

I cannot find other documentation of the campaign in the usual sources. I'm not sure if Garr's biography will mention it.

Carrie Montgomery Judd had a house of healing in Oakland from the 1890's to the present time. They just found out that it was only a healing house for 2 years. Since then, it was a mission school.

This means that Oakland had 2 pentecostal mission schools and San Fransisco had one Bible college.

The Apostolic Faith Mission of San Fransisco was pastored ( Aug. 1907) by Ernest Swing Williams (1885-1981).
