==1930's==
===1935===
* AA 1935-5: WI: "At the six weeks' gospel meetings held by Mr. F.W. Mehl in Brodhead there were very large audiences and deep interest. Some eighteen men and women, as a result, professed to receive Christ as their Savior and Lord. He desires the prayers of the saints for this work which is but an entering wedge in a very inviting territory."
* AA 1935-10: WI: "Large audiences, much interest, conversions and the strengthening of the saints resulted from the labors of Messrs. Sheldrake & Mehl at Brodhead. Mr. Mehl hopes to return for meetings especially for those young in the faith."

* LOI 1947-3:
** M.J. Kennedy, Oklahoma City, [[Oklahoma|OK]]: "I have been helping in the different assemblies in the east since I came away from Brodhead, Wis., and I have had word from brother King and his wife that God has given them a little blessing. It would be nice for God's people to remember this little assembly in prayer as they are in great need of help. Quite a few of the Lord's servants give them a little help as they are able."
** Dan Dunnett, Lake Geneva, WI: "Bro. Dunnett spent some time in January visiting small companies of the Lord's people in Wisconsin: Brodhead, Sheboygan, Appleton, etc. Later he purposes going to Oklahoma City, speaking from his model of the Tabernacle, and from there to other places where he has been invited for meetings."

He started meetings in LaCrosse, Wisconsin in March, using the "Two Roads and Two Destinies" chart. When we last heard on March 12th, the attendance was very good, the hall being well filled almost every night.
