Oakland was open from 1915 until 1941.
Stockton was open from 1922 until 1948.
Selma Nelson was in Fresno from around 1933 until 1943.

These are the years of the schools. Nelson arrived in Fresno in 1920. Morse pastored until 1962.

This was prior to the UPC. They may have been PCI. The 3 missions did fellowship together.

David Gray was a student at all 3 schools.

So interesting.
