* Benjamin F. Jury (1870-1947)
===1931===
"You may recall, brother, that in 1931, when Dr. Walter L. Wilson, an I.O.B. leader from Kansas City, Mo., was given the platform (by arrangement of certain loose brethren) at a session of our Abilene (Kansas) Conference, it brought on a definite issue. Several of our brethren, including laborers, required that this should not be repeated, as a condition of their remaining for the further sessions of the Conference."

===First Baptist Church of Abilene===
Around 1938, Tim Gruen married Lola Mae Cormack and left the assembly for an American Baptist church in Abilene known as First Baptist Church, where they raised their children. Their son T. Lee and his first wife Libby later returned to the assemblies, to Grace and Truth Gospel Chapel to raise their own children. Benjamin Jury's son Paul Gruen also left the Newbern assembly for First Baptist of Abilene, as did George Francis McBoyle earlier in 1916.
