I have a an orphaned picture postcard of the F. W. Heinly family. The postcard looks to be dated circa 1915. It pictures F. W. Heinly and his family: wife and two little girls one about age 10 mos., the other is about age 5. The content on the back of the postcard reads:
F.W. Heinly was born in Virginville, PA., Dec. 24, 1887. Came to Gospel Trumpet Office at Moundsville, WV, August 29, 1904. He began work in tract room and later became janitor. In 1905 he went to New York City, where he became Brother D.O. Teasley’s stenographer. While Brother Heinly was serving in this capacity Brother Khan, who was visiting America, dictated to him the book, “India’s Millions.” In Sept. 1909 he came to Anderson. Worked in the Sales Department 1909-1911. In June 1911, he became Managing Editor of the Gospel Trumpet, a position he resigned in 1917, spending the time until July 31, 1918 in obtaining a much needed rest and in doing home missionary work in Nebraska, TX, and a few other places. On the latter date, he sailed for India, where he became General Secretary of the work of the church in India. Brother Heinly is an enthusiastic efficient missionary, as well as an able executive in the office of Secretary. He will have charge of the new station at Kurigram, for which $10,000 was raised by special donation last Christmas.
Maude L. Meyer was born at Ableman, Wisconsin, March 10, 1890. She was a worker in the New York Home for a few years, coming to Anderson in 1909 to become a worker in the Subscription Department of the Gospel Trumpet Office. She was married to Brother Heinly in 1911. They have two children, the older, Kandice, was born in the United States, the younger Doloris, was born in India.
If you would like a look at this photo, or if you can claim this family I can send it to you. I can send a scanned pic of this photo postcard via an email.
