Re: Who was Harry Morse ?

Today, I followed the trail of Selma Nelson. She worked at the Peniel Mission. Later, in 1927, she began the Emmanuel Pentecostal Mission in Fresno. She was pastor there until 1943.

The mission was part boarding house, part missionary training school, part church. Like the missions in Oakland and Stockton, after the war they transformed into churches.

I do not know why she stopped being the pastor. I still do not know when she died or where. I want to read her obit.

I did find a picture of the mission.

I really need to find a local church history of Fresno. I called a few local Fresno churches today. Nothing yet.

Oakland, Stockton and Fresno had monthly fellowship meetings. Possibly Lodi as well.

I need more clues.
