Changes

The assembly met from 1895 (or before) thru 1945 (or after), in Belleville, Republic County, Kansas.

In the February 1895 issue of The Witness, a long-running British Open PB monthly publication, in the Lord's Work and Workers section, it was reported: Republic County, Kansas - "In the entire county, so far as we know, '''only 49 ''' are separated to and meet in Jesus' name alone. We give away tracts and sow the good seed in much weakness. Pray for us."

=1902=Mike Hardesty moved from The bold print is editor's choice. "Only 49" would suggest that the Belleville assembly was meeting long prior to help start first assembly 1895, and/or the evangelistic efforts of the 1890's in Colorado Republic County (Longmontand elsewhere) along with William Milnerwere tremendously blessed, and his sons David & Josephas a Brethren assembly today of "only 49" in Kansas is considered modestly sized.

=1899=There was a general store opened in 1899 in Belleville by A.H. Loomis and W.A. Hollandsworth. The relevancy of this is simply that the Loomis name is significant of leadership [[Diamond Springs Gospel Hall, KS]] from the early 1900's thru 1940's, and within the [[Elm Springs Bible Hall, KS]] near Gypsum, from the late 1930's thru the mid 1970's, the latter of which played a notable role in the founding of the [[Sunset Bible Chapel, KS]] started in the 1960's in Salina that still exists, as of 2020.  =1902-1904=In 1902, Mike Hardesty moved from Belleville to help start first assembly in Colorado (Longmont) along with "William Milner, and his sons David & Joseph". In the 1904 assembly address book, under Kansas is listed: Belville (sic?) with a contact of Rob Milner.  * Robert Milner (1826-1907), with his wife Saloma Zea Milner (1835-1901). Presuming Robert's middle name was surely William. Two of their several children included:** David Leroy Milner (1859-1927) married Ina Belle Muth (1866-1956). Ina curiously died in forementioned Longmont, Colorado, where the first Brethren assembly was planted in 1902 by William Milner. ** Joseph S. Milner (1857-1940) married Mary Margaret Oliver (1866-1914). One of their children included:*** William Ralph Milner (1883-1965) married Fleta May Clabaugh (1886-1924), both died in Longmont. It is worth noting that a Rev. Milner served as the charter treasurer of Washington Township, in Republic County, in 1872.

==Albert Burton Bachelor==The contact for the Belleville assembly in 1927 was A.B. BatchelorAlbert Burton Bachelor (1849-1930), 1203 Sixteenth St. There Albert was born on Nov. 20, 1849 in Sterling Heights, Michigan, to Elijah (1808-1880) and Eunice (1808-1877) M. Wales Bachelor. Elijah was born in London, Ontario, Canada, and by 1840 thru 1850, living in Sterling, MI, then by 1860 farming in Melrose (near Cedar Falls), Iowa, then by 1870 farming in Clay, IA, then Brownville, Nebraska, and dying in Scandia, KS. Elijah's wife Eunice was born in Newfoundland, Canada, they were married in 1831 in Michigan.  Albert was employed by 1900 as a hardware merchant in Belleville, married in 1873 to Martha James (1846-1915), who was born in Belmont County, Ohio to Henry James (1818-1880) and Eleanor James (1822-1903), who also both died in Ohio. Eleanor's parents were Quakers in Germantown, Pennsylvania. Albert and Martha had at least two children that lived and died in Belleville:* Jesse Guy Bachelor (1879-1966) married Mary Blanche Hinman (1877-1951)* Frank Russel Bachelor (1876-1954) married Minnie Mabel Stone (1879-1958). Minnie was a daughter of Dr. Edward Stone (1841-1894), the first physician in nearby Narka, who also built a local store there later occupied by William Thomas.  After Martha's death, Albert remarried Alzina E. Burge Hill (1854-1921), who was born in Monroe Center, Ohio to Josiah Burge (1812-1868) and his wife Fanny A. Everts Burge (1820-1890). It's worth noting that Alzina's aunt Maria (1852-1925) married George Sharp Milner (1842-1918), Civil War veteran who was a separate grandfather to Archie Irvin Milner (1904-1971) who is the sole online mention having attended primary school at the Milner Schoolhouse which coincidentally hosted a Brethren assembly in 1927.  ==Milner Schoolhouse==There was apparently an assembly [[Milner Schoolhouse Gospel Hall, KS]] meeting by this point1927, separate from Belleville Gospel Hall, no further information is presently available, except that it is listed in the 1927 Assembly Address Book, published by Faithful Words Publishing in St. Louis, Missouri.
