The Grand Opera House - Fairmont

Speaker Albert Edmund Williamson, of Pittsburg holds a “discussion” in the Grand Opera House: “Why has God appeared to be so indifferent to the race of humanity as to permit so many calamities and afflictions to come upon the human race? Will there ever be any relief from these conditions? What is the hope set forth in the Bible, the Word of God?” (FWV 12.21.07 pg. 8)

“The speaker…handles the subject in a reverent, earnest manner, and produces a very clear argument, vindicating the Divine character and showing how the whole world is soon to be blessed with greatly changed conditions.” Seats are free and no collection will be taken. (FWV 12.21.07 pg. 8)

I grew up in Monongah, WV and received my BA from Bethany College in WV and spent the next several years working the professional theatre scene in Detroit, MI as a scenic designer, painter, carpenter, and TD. In recent years, I have shifted my location to Indianapolis and my area of focus to end-of-life and death care.
