Arrival at Emmaus
Time of installation 1929
This pair of windows was financed by the children in memory of their parents Hugo Burghardt Sherwood (1847-1925) and Esther Andrews Sherwood (1849 - 1925). These parents had worshiped and been active in both our first church and the one you are in now. In fact their 1873 wedding had to take place in the county courthouse, because the first church had been dismantled and this new church was not yet habitable!
Mr. Sherwood had been one of the signatories of the promissory note that made the financing of the construction of our present building feasible.
This is an Alan McCausland window, 3rd generation.
