Dewberry Plainville USA COMPLETED
« on: Sunday 30 August 09 15:59 UTC (UK) »

Hi,
I am trying to find details about Arthur Beckingham Dewberry, what I know is he was born in 1888 Hull Yorkshire married Betsey Lewis. Arthur was a methodist pastor and arrived aboard the ship "Aurania" in 1924 at Ellis Island with his wife.
Arthur was age 35, Betsey age 34, Residence stated as Planville USA. ?
Arthur was in the Canadian Expeditionary Force prior to this time as a minister.
I would like to know, how to find him from 1924 onwards and based on his residence being known on arrival, was he in the USA prior to joining the C.E.F.
He joined the C.E.F at Halifax Nova Scotia on the 12/5/1916 with only 4 months of service.
He may have been in the USA prior to the war and travelled to Halifax to sign up.
Is it possible to find records of Methodist Pastors in the US or maybe Churches to find him.
Any possible leads would be greatly appreciated.
Kovel.

Google Books shows "A study of the preparation and activities of Wesley foundation directors at tax supported colleges and universities in the United States" authored by Arthur Beckingham Dewberry
and published by the Hartford School of Religious Education, Hartford Seminary Foundation, in 1931. Arthur also shows up in a Yale Univ. catalogue from 1930.  I can only see a snippet view, but it says something about "Hartford School of Religious Education 1914" and R.F.D. 4, Bridgeport.

An article from the Naugatuck (Conn.) Daily News from 24 Nov. 1952 says that the four Protestant Churches will hold their annual United Thanksgiving Eve service at Seymour Methodist Church and Rev. Arthur Dewberry of Derby, a retired Methodist minister, will deliver the sermon.

An article from 16 Feb. 1924 from the Bridgeport Telegram states that Rev. Dewberry was leading a course at the School of Religious Education being conducted at the First Methodist Church.

A 31 Dec. 1923 article from the Bridgeport Telegram says that Rev. A.B. Dewberry was leading a course on religious education and was taking post-graduate work at the Hartford School of Religious Pedagogy.

There is a Betsey Dewberry listed buried on this index, who might be a match:  http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rigenweb/cemetery//cemetery108.html

Seems to be someone who has Betsey on their tree:  http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jonsaunders&id=I104507

Hi shellyesq and merjones,
Wow!! what do I say, this is fantastic information on Arthur the son of Alfred a store keeper in Hull Yorkshire.
Arthurs wife name was Betsey Lewis, I had know idea she was from Rhode Island.
Arthur was well accomplished, and this was a pleasure to recieve and read.
Your help is invaluable, I take my hat off to you both, in making a family members history come to light, and be recognized.
Best Regards
Kovel.
