Well, I had access to some archival papers including some of the Davis' 
housekeepers. This man met the sisters at Bro. William H.Durham's church in the 
EARLY day's of the movement in Chicago. He was just beginning to preach on the 
finished work of Christ. These sisters returned to Georgia, and after a time 
this man decided to come down and minister with them. He was a suitor to one of 
the sisters (Susie, I believe) but when they considered their life together, 
she was called to Eastern Canada, and He to travel the US, so they realized it 
was not to be. The suitor was AD Urshan long before NA was a twinkle in his 
eye. That ends this installment of "Love lives of the Rich in Grace and Truth 
:-) "

BTW, Bro. Cary, do you happen to know if Bro. Goss' church still exists, and if 
so where would I find it? I'm thinking of travelling up that way and would like 
to take a look.
