With a membership rarely more than thirty, the core of whom were industrious farmer-folk, some did become eminent as clergymen, physicians and educators. One was the first Adventist minister to serve as a Chaplain in the United States Army. Two were missionaries to Africa. Three served as missionaries to South America. Several others became prominent educators, one a college president. Five studied medicine and became active in the healing profession. Others were dedicated nurses or devoted homemakers.
