Ingersol, Cherokee & Shattuck, Oklahoma Memories

"During WWII, we lived in Ingersoll (Cherokee). My father, John Heer, was the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church.

He did serve the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Shattuck, Oklahoma. He served the Bethel Baptist Church in Ingersoll (now in Cherokee --- if it still exists).

Dad was fluent in German (in fact he actually preached in German while serving a church in Shattuck) and I think that dad actually served as somewhat of a chaplin or perhaps performed special religious services or ceremonies for the prisoners. Dad never spoke about his service to any of our family but I wonder if there is any information about him being associated with the prison camp?" -- Harvey Heer - Email: hheer@rochester.rr.com   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
