* East Jaffrey gospel work (OB) 1938-1939
** 1938-12 LaL: "Hugh Thorpe had a week of gospel meetings in a hall in East Jaffrey, New Hampshire. This is a pioneer effort. As the result of a few meetings last summer, a husband and wife professed salvation. Three others who profess to have been saved years ago are not content with the "systems". To our knowledge this state is without an "assembly" as we know them. Pray for this work."*** Hugh Thorpe evangelized (with Joe Pearson) in Crapaud, [[Prince Edward Island]] in 1932 which, followed by Russell Harris, John Spreeman, Herb Harris & Albert Joyce, resulted in the first assembly being planted there in 1934. Thorpe also ministered in 1922 in [[Barbados]], and Port Howe, [[Nova Scotia]].

Omer emigrated to the U.S. in 1947, and later to Keene (from Weare, NH) in 1955 where he was employed under MacMillin Construction as its superintendent, retiring in 1975. Likely in fellowship with the assembly in Boston while residing in Weare. Omer was converted to Christ, with his wife, Adele Nadeau Vadnais (b. 1901 Saint-Ann, Berlin, NH - d. 1960 Keene, NH) from Roman Catholicism somewhere after 1927 when they had a Catholic wedding in Hampden, MA, and by 1931 they were residing in Verdun, QC both affiliated (census-wise) with the PB, presumably in fellowship at Natural History Hall in Montreal, although there was also an open meeting in Verdun by 1936 (and perhaps as early as 1931) so there is that too. One of their children was Valerie A. Vadnais Jangro (b. 1935 Montreal, QC - d. 2009 Jessup, MD), active with the Evangelical Free.
