A Strange Church at South Bend
Wilder David Alery, a frugal, penurious, lifelong resident of South Bend, died at 81. He founded and funded Progressive Brethren worship, deeded property with conditions, and kept all finances and leases in exact memory despite blindness and approaching deafness. His odd charity was two meals yearly for relatives, yet he supported church and assets with iron discipline. Penny, his old dog, accompanied him on late-night walks.
