My dad was very good friend to Frank Curts and is buried just a few graves away from him in Cincinnati...

I came to Cincinnati in June 1957 from ABI to attend the church pastored by Frank Curts and to hear him teach. I wound up staying here and now I've been married 49 years, have 5 children, and 13 grandchildren.
I attended Bro. Curt's church from 1957 until some time in 1963 or 1964 when we started going to the local ALJC church. Eld. Joe David Sizemore was the pastor (had been since 1951) and the church had started as a split from Bro. Curts' assembly in 1945.
Bro. Curts was the District Supt. of the UPC Ohio District while I was going to his church. I taught Sunday School there and also preached for Bro. Curts several times. Bro. and Sis. Norman Paslay were assistant pastors.
In 1968 or so, there was some kind of falling out between Bro. Curts and Bro. and Sis. Paslay and Bro. Curts brought in Leroy Buller as asst. pastor. Bro. and Sis Paslay left and started Calvary Pentecostal Church which is now pastored by their son and is about 2 miles from my house. The church pastored by Bro. Curts passed on to Bro. Buller when he died and is now pastored by Bro. Urshan. I've never been to that assembly but have been to the church pastored by the Paslays several times.
