From a Feb. 1897 issue of an open brethren (OB) publication ''The Witness'' from the U.K. in the ''The Lord's Work and Workers'' section, there was a blurb from San Francisco, [[California]]:
"Although we dare not boast of much spiritual progress in the assembly [[San Francisco Gospel Hall, CA|here]], yet I am thankful to say we are now going on in quietness with Himself. Last night we just finished Hebrews. No doubt the Lord was with us in power. Many have expressed themselves blessed while we were going through this epistle. Messrs. McClure and Faulkner are preaching at Oatland(sic: [[Oakland Gospel Hall, CA|Oakland]]), nine miles across the bay from San Francisco, also young H.A. Ironsides (sic: [[Henry Allan Ironside]]), ex-captain of the Salvation Army, has gone forth preaching Christ. The Lord is using him in Stockton, a place about 75 or 100 miles from here. There is now an assembly through his instrumentality. May our God extend the work."
Then in a 1927 assembly address book, published in St. Louis by ''Faithful Words'', there is a listing for a '''Stockton Gospel Hall''' meeting in the home of A. Tangemann @ 829 N. San Jose St. No idea if the two assemblies are related, but putting them together here for now.
