What was her name? Where was she from? What was her home church? How their hearts, and the hearts of her Loved Ones must have grieved. She obviously loved the Lord and wanted to learn more of His Word.Is she buried in Cleveland or was her body transported by train back to her home town?

Doyle,According to AJT's Diary entry for November 27, 1918, the Bible School student who died in the Tomlinson House was Mrs. Bennie (sic) Terrill. I did not see any information as to where she was from or buried.AJT reports two other students are in the home were sick as well - Blanche Koon and Mary Rowell, but it seems they recovered, as did AJT and others who were effected.The assembly that was canceled by the government was scheduled for October 30 - November 5, in Harriman, TN.Much of AJT's November 27 entry in his diary shares various expansions of the church work and printing ministry, plus news about the government shutting down churches services (four Sundays). He also records his concern about Homer, who had enlisted in the Army, being in France for sometime.He ends with entry with, My dear wife has never taken the influenza although she has had the care of fourteen or more cases. God has sustained and held her up. Thanks to His name. He is so good to us.Note: I think there were both male and female students who stayed in the Tomlinson House in the beginning years of the Bible School.

All this information is very interesting. And It is so strange my parents and those of my wife, never mentioned the Spanish Flu, and they were in their mid teens in 1918.I wish they alive now to ask....To Matt, It is amazing to be privy to Bro A.J.'s journal....My wife just said, I sure wish the split had never happened. It is strange how hindsight is supposed to be 20/20, BUT it can still be tainted by old memories and hard hearts.Life is good. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

In 2023 it will be 100 years since the split - I see new generations raising who will be open to a reconciliation for the unity of the movement.
