Armstrong family

T&T 2024-7: Homecalls: "Eric Armstrong of Bancroft, ON, on April 22, 2024, age 90. He was saved as a teenager following deep conviction of sin after a night of partying. Eric later moved to Toronto, ON, and was in fellowship at the Pape Avenue assembly. While there, he married Helen Stringer and they were blessed with two children. During their later years, they were in fellowship in the Oshawa, ON, assembly. Following Helen’s homecall, he moved back to Bancroft but health issues prevented him from attending meetings. Eric loved the gospel and God’s assembly. He had a shepherd`s heart, encouraged young believers, and loved to help small assemblies. During the memorial service, his great-nephew spoke on behalf of the family. Gary Oakes spoke on his faithful testimony, Ken Nicholson preached the gospel, and Mark Freymond gave words of appreciation before closing in prayer. Please pray that God will speak to his remaining family."

Mahaffy family

In 1927, James Mahaffy was the correspondent, and the earliest known. 1927 @ 157 Glebemount. In 1921, census registered him, his wife, and three children as "Christian". By 1931, James was registered as Presbyterian, and his wife Sarah and their daughter Lillian as Anglican. James was employed in 1921 in shipping for a factory, and in 1931 as a bookkeeper for a furniture store. In 1901, as family was registered as "Brethren in Christ", and their daughter Charlotte (and husband Oscar) were both "Brethren" in 1922 at the time of her wedding, and their son Norman also in 1924, it will be presumed here that James & Sarah and their family were among the founders of this assembly, and all active as early as 1922 thru at least 1927.
