That church produced a lot of well known preachers in UPC, including Bruce Howell, Monte Showalter, Marvin Walker, Val Treece. etc. Those were fun days for me!

Bruce Howell is related to several people I know there. He visits often too. Great man.
Who was your grandfather?
Did you know any Upchurches? They have preachers all over the place too.
Cecil Sullivan, missionary to Philipines, is from southern Illinois also.
Did you know Frank and Julie Clark? He used to pastor there back in the 50's, I think. They are both gone now. He died in 1995 and she just died this past year.
I'm getting so homesick now.
