Title: Grand Army of the Republic window - from Howard
Post by: Mom70x7 on August 31, 2012, 05:42:55 PM
I had a caller on the Howard UMC answering machine -

He's asking for information about this window being sold on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grand-Army-of-the-Republic-Stained-Glass-Windows-47-Star-U-S-Flag-/160874336600?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2574db9158 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grand-Army-of-the-Republic-Stained-Glass-Windows-47-Star-U-S-Flag-/160874336600?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2574db9158).

The caller was wanting information about the building it might have been in.

Do you know anything about the window? the building it came from?

I returned his call, and will give you contact information if you PM me. I'm sending him a link to here, so he might come visit.

I have no idea about these windows, but if they were donated to the Nazarene College, could they have been located in the little white church that was once a Nazarene/ Pilgrm Holiness/ Wesleyan church next to Paul and Izola Moore' home?  It was a Nazarene Church all the years I was growing up in Howard, so possibly the Nazarene Conference or whatever their governing body is called may have owned the property.   I never paid any attention to any windows that might have looked like these.  Just a thought...............

This gentleman also talked about the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War in Kansas: http://suvcwks.org/ (http://suvcwks.org/),

I know the Methodist Church burned 10-15 years ago. Did any other churches in Howard have a fire or a partial fire?

Call Alice Light and ask her if those windows could have been in the Wesleyan Church. I probably didn't spell that right. Anyway, she might know.

The Presbyterian Church burned at some point and was rebuilt on the same spot on Pennsylvania.
