Re: Who was Harry Morse ?
I found a post card of a Free Methodist Church from 1915 on Ebay. I compared it to the Emanuel Pentecostal Mission and I think the old mission was once a Free Methodist Church. Both buildings were built in the same time period. They were both located in Fresno.
The Pentecostal Mission building no longer stands. Not sure about the Free Methodist Church.
Yes, I need to do some more research.
Selma Nelson was the matron of the Emmanuel Pentecostal Mission. It began as the Salem Home for Girls. Unwed pregnant teens, to be precise.
David Gray, Olive Gray and Clyde Haney were students at the Mission school. So were Helen and Louis Haney, missionaries to Liberia. Carl Hayden also was a student of Selma Nelson. He was to be one of the first teachers at WABC, but tragically died in an automobile accident before he could teach at WABC.
Hopefully, members of the Hayden family will have some old pics of Fresno, Liberia, or other events in early Pentecost.
Olive Haney wrote about her experiences in Fresno, but does not name the Matron at Fresno.
This is your update for today.
