• Notes

  In 1911 the Reverend Charles Scudder became the pastor of Trinity Methodist Church, West Brighton, Staten Island, remaining until 1915. During his stay the new Church was opened and dedicated and "it was largely due to the sound spiritual foundation he established that initiated the rapid growth of the Church in the late teens and twenties." Charles was famous for his object lessons; i.e. a copper penny dropped into vinegar turned black showing that our associations and environment certainly made a difference in how we turned out; or--an ear of corn grew from just one tiny kernel; take advantage of the things we have in this bountiful world. He had a wife and two sons, Russell and Elmer.
