Delton and Jean had rented a tv "monitor" to play a video and he was quick to let us know that it was a "monitor" and did not "receive" tv broadcasts. His on Terry was pastoring a church in NJ and has "relaxed" the "standards." Delton has been retired for a couple years and they live in Dublin, OH which is in the Columbus, OH area. I'm not sure which church they are going to but last I heard it was pastored by "Bro. Cook's grandson."

My wife and I spent the first night of our honeymoon in Parkersburg at a historic gaslight era hotel downtown called The Blennerhassett. We were on a road trip to Miami to catch a cruise to the Bahamas.

The church in Columbus you're talking about was pastored by Paul Cook, RG's grandson. He has moved to TX and pastors Abundant Life in Plano. The new pastor is Jared Howell, Bruce Howell, UPC Global Mission Director's son. The church is in Westerville, OH.

I work three blocks from that hotel. Grew up with a view of the island in my front yard.

Charleston is in need of a GOOD Church.

I learned a bit more of the history of the Apostolic movement in Parkersburg.

Sister Willie Johnson came through preaching revival. Reverend Clair Ruble's parents (may have just been his mother..I'm not sure) came to the Lord and received the Holy Ghost in that revival. Bro Ruble started the Apostolic Hour of Faith in 1950 (according to Sister Ruble's obituary). In 1956 William Branham preached "Hear ye Him" at Bro. Ruble's church. I have heard that there were MANY miracles that took place in that church. It was sometime after that Bro J.C. Cole started his UPCI church in Parkersburg.

Brother Ruble is 95 now.

I wonder if anyone else hear is familiar at all with any of the events surrounding the Pentecostal revival in Parkersburg.
