It is evident that there was a TW exclusive meeting room in Neodesha, Wilson, [[Kansas]] from earlier than 1889 thru 1933.
[[Alexander Hume Rule]] (1843-1906) from Des Moines, [[Iowa]], gave a report on December 27th, 1892 into an assembly missionary publication known as "Letters of Interest" (printed by A.J. Cowell, on Oxford Road, in Ealing; and distributed by the Bible & Tract Depot, Yonge St., Arcade, Toronto, Ontario);
Later, in the same publication, on July 26th, 1894, a brother named W.E.S. from Stapleton, NY writes this excerpt, "I received a letter from our brother [[Arthur B. Pollock]] lately, from Kansas; He says that he finds "great energy in the saints in California, Colorado and Kansas in getting over the Word. In two places, lately, in Kansas, they have got together afternoon and evening of every day. Now they are in some places harvesting, but here in Neodesha, whence I write, they meet every afternoon. Owen, who labors in these parts, has been very ill with rheumatic fever, 6 weeks in bed; he is better now, through mercy, and able to attend all the meetings."
