Radio handbill 1930

Radio leaflet covering the activities of six Californian IBSA classes in November-December of 1930. Note that two of them were still advertising the “Frank and Ernest” format for official Watchtower programs at the end of 1930.

Cedar Point Ohio - photographs

Some photographs have come to hand from around 100 years ago that feature well-known Bible Students. I am grateful to Robert who has made the photo album available. It is entitled Cedar Point on Lake Erie.

The earliest photographs are from the 1919 convention at Cedar Point, Ohio. Many are of unknown groups of people and general views of the venue. But the following are those of named people many readers will know.

J F Rutherford

W E Van Amburgh and sisters

 

A H MacMillan and Sister Christiansen

 

J A Bohnet

 

Oscar Magnuson and friends (Bro and Sis Graig)

 

Shield Toutjion

W F Hudgings and wife 

Although Hudgings did not stay with the IBSA he was imprisoned as part of the case against the book The Finished Mystery.

 

W M Wisdom and wife 

Wisdom was later responsible for the book Memoirs of Pastor Russell.

The album also contains some photographs from the 1922 convention at the same venue.
