The Goderich Signal-Star, 1972-08-17, Page 5• Salvation Army. gets new lender for group The Salvation Ariny 'opened fire" in Goderich in 1885 With _�. tk1e,.A1'riysil_ of Mayr Rowen, Now, 87 years lat4r, two new leaders of the Salvation Army have arrived in Goderich. They are Captain and Mrs. Dan Connor, from Scarborough. In Goderich for a month now, these two dedicated people have been with this religious organization for much of their lives, Darleen Connor, fresh out of college, joined in leadership of the Salvatiof Army, ,,,serving in many towns; . First . she was st4i4oned in Ingersoll, then Dundas, and later in Tweed. Dan Connor was in "the' printing business before he joined 'the Salvation Army where they stationed him in Luner burg, Nova Scotia. He hails from Windsor originally, and Mrs. Connor was born in Vancouver, B.C. After their marriage they were stationed -in Nap`anee, Birchcliff, Scarborough, and now here. Within the last -few years Mrs. Connor has been busy raising her children, Christopher, 21/2 years old, and Stephen, 16 `months. Previous totheir arrival in Goderich Captain Bill McCune was head of the Salvation Army. The friendly couple, radiating a warmth towards humanity, say they are just starting to recognize faces in town, and hope soon to be familiar with everyone here. Their blonde -haired boys are happy, perceptive children. Christopher, the oldest is more 'serious and quiet than. his little brother Stephen, who Mrs, Connor says won't stay in one place for longer " than a few seconds ata time. The Connors have the long history of the Salvation Army to beck them up in their _ new home. The citadel, built by Major Row'en in' 1885 held out until 1929 when it Oyes destroyed by fire. Then in September of 1930 the building, after renovations, was re -opened under the ,comma'hd of Ensign 'Mary Thompson. This building served until December, 1962, when, the present building was opened by Commissioner Wycliffe Booth, grandson of . the founder of the Salvation Army. Captain Alice. Bailey was the officer in charge_ at this tine. In 1964 it was a ' happy occasion for local salvationists, under the 'command of ,Captain Roy Wombold to burn .the. mortgage on the new building. The' then Divisional' Commander, Colonel John Nelson, took part ' in • this ceremony. With the, aid of people like Captain and Mrs. Connor, the Salvation Army in Goderich, 87 years old, will live past its first century and through centuries to come.
