S.G.Brown, of Emporia, had been diligently employed planting churches along the Neosho River from Emporia to Leroy.Bro.Ephraim Philips, at Leroy, also at that time became known to us.Bro.Philips, after some years, returned to Pennsylvania, and there went into the oil business with his brother; the brothers were successful, and afterwards distinguished themselves by a generous and Christian liberality.

Bro.
Crocker also, before his death, had won a large place in the hearts of his brethren.

Elder Wm, Gans, at that time of Lanesfield, but afterwards of Olathe, will long be remembered with earnest affection; and it was at this time that he became known to us.
For reasons that we have already mentioned, the General Missionary Society had done nothing for us, but seeing that we were fighting a brave battle, and that we were keeping the peace with each other, they felt themselves moved to help us.Eld.

D.S.Burnett was at this time employed preaching in Western Missouri, and was deputed by the Missionary Board to visit G.W.Hutchinson at Lawrence, who was winning golden opinions as an eminently successful evangelist.Bro.
