In Memory of A Devoted Friend And Faithful Missionary
MRS. KATHRYN ENGLE CALLED AWAY IN DEATH, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6
Kathryn Lucille Engle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Byer, was born at Glendale, Arizona, on July 2, 1903. Her parents moved to California when she was about five years old.
At the age of 17, while attending Beulah College, she gave her heart to the Lord and united with the Brethren in Christ church, of which she remained a consistent member and servant as long as the choice was hers to make.
On Nov. 23, 1922, she was united in marriage to Charles Engle, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Engle of Upland, Claifornia. To them god gave four children, three daughter, Ardys, Mary Lou and Phyllis; and one son, Wayne Norman.
She, with her husband, heard and answered the call of God to full-time service. Leaving their comfortable home for which they had worked together and in which their oldest daughter was born, they gave themselves to the church accepting whatsoever was to be offered at the time.
They were ordained as missionaries by Bishops C. C. Burholder and J. H. Wagaman at the General Conference of 1926, at Fairland, Penna.
