Gerald posted an old assembly photo in another thread. My mother recently gave me a book of old photos. I was going through it and came across this photo. I wonder how many on this board have one similar from the 60's, and has the courage to post it Almost 47 years ago.

I don't have them scanned yet, but I have some of my mom and grandmother and other family members, from the '40s.

Jinger, I would love to see some of those photos.

Here is my mom at age 14 and her Aunt Thursa Hayes Spears.

If someone can remind me how to post photos larger I would appreciate it for the future.

Jinger, you look so much like your Mom. I sent my Mom that pic, I am sure she will love it.

Yes I do!! Sometimes it quite scary to look in the mirror as see "her" looking back at me.

I have tons of these photos many of people I do not know. This may be a good oportunity both to share some history and have some I. D.s.

Paul, As You were standing there I was getting my butt slapped by the doctor. My birthday and Old Assembly time always came at the same time.

In 1962 I was a young mother.
Wish I had some pictures of the old assembly. Only in my mind.

I remember the pic of me that was in the WWM around 1951. The ink in the printing back then was blue instead of black.

Here are some old ones from our site:

Here are a few more:























There are many more but I thought some of you might enjoy these we sure have. God Bless

I hope there is an official archive for all of these. They are historically significant and should be made available indefinitely for research.

Sorry hope I did not post to many but I think they are just priceless and many have really enjoyed them, I thought I would pick a few.

Tim they are priceless and I agree with you. I have many old Voice of Salvation tapes that my Father hosted and Brother Robert Pruitt was the minister also many times M.A. is on the tapes, I love them just a treasure. That was 1977-1980.

We have many more a Brother was so gracious to share many with us and others started to post some as well.

If there is any question as to who is who on the photos I posted I should be able to answer, we have most the info, again there are many more.

I love seeing the old cars as well, I just think it is neat.

They really should be handed over to an official archive at some point. That way they'll be preserved for posterity and historical research. Does COGOP have a well-staffed research library yet?

This Photo was taken in Paragould, Ark. some time in the 30's
The pastors were sis. Mount and Sis. Hollensworth. They would pick up children from the cotton fields and take them to Sunday School and in the summer VBS. My mom and dad were among those kids and they received the Lord in that little old church.

After they passed, stories came out in the local paper of how these two precious ladies would have rummage sales every Saturday down town. They had tabs and a little resturant, rummage clothes in the back of the church, a tab at the local gas station. During the depression when families would come through looking for work, broke out of gas. They would send them to the resturant, make sure the family had some clothes and send them to the gas station for some gas.

They would then sell rummage to pay the tabs. WOW, I get overwhelmed just thinking about these dear ladies and the impact they had on my parents and ultimately my life. It is indeed a great heritage.

BTW they built that little church our of scrap lumber nailed flattened cans on the lumber and covered it with that old Tar siding.
