Notes |
- "According to information from Katherine's obituary, where her name is spelled 'Catherine', and from her son's memoir, Benjamin and Katherine lived on a farm for the first years of their marriage, then, around 1880, her health began to fail, and she was an invalid for a few years. She was healed in 1888 in Cleveland, taking the Lord for her healer, and at that time consecrating herself fully to God. About a year after that they sold the farm and moved to Bluffton and opened the Bethany Home where people came to live and board while attending classes there, like short term Bible School. In the spring of 1891 the family moved to New York and spent a year doing missionary work, then they spent two years doing missionary work in Cleveland, then they returned to Bluffton and resumed the Lord's work at Bethany Home, under the Christian Alliance Association. Then they sold their home in Bluffton, and moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, and started Home and Bible School, which over the years, became Fort Wayne Bible College."
