New Pastor George Byrer Appointed at Calvary USB Church
Rev. George F. Byrer is named successor to Rev. Ad. W. Lake as pastor of Calvary United Brethren Church in Fort Wayne. He comes from Warsaw after five successful years and was born January 20 1862 in Stony Point Kosciusko County. He held pastorates in Indian Village Lagrange and Ligonier before Warsaw and has strong ties to the St Joseph conference. His transfer disappointed Warsaw, where his flock valued his leadership.
