Isaac Newton Church

THE CHURCH FAMILY

On March 7, 1900 ISSAC NEWTON CHURCH united in marriage with DORCAS GRANT in the presence of O.F. Eller and R.L. Church, believed to be Uncle Toon. Nearly 100 years later, the "marriage" of two has resulted in three sons, five daughters, our parents; twenty one grandchildren, thirty nine great grandchildren, forty six great, great grandchildren, and one great, great, great grandchild. As of this writing, (Nov., 2000) there remains one month before our grandparents one hundredth wedding anniversary to add to the Church Family.
None of these figures would have been possible without your kindness and help in sending your family history. We are honored to have one remaining of the original eight, STELLA CHURCH MOORE, with us. We are equally honored to have with us three ladies who married the three sons of 'NEWT' and DORCAS CHURCH; EVELYN ECHOLS CHURCH, RUBY VOLRATH CHURCH, and JOSEPHINE CATES CHURCH.
