Ike’s boyhood church auction reveals Kansas memory
Nearly 200 people attended the sale at a Kansan Brethren in Christ church near Navarre. Items including a German Bible, a 66 year old bread slicer, and church pews sold for modest sums. The two story church, built by the Brethren in Christ and later memorialized for Eisenhower’s family, drew buyers seeking relics of President Eisenhower’s Abilene roots and the church’s mission history.
