Celebrating the First Century of Grace Agre's Life
Grace Agre was born on February 28, 1919 to Ben and Clara Salser in Racine, Ohio. The little town with a population of 500 at the time was situated on the Ohio River. (The population in 2010 was only 675.) Racine had fallen on hard times since it had once provided workers for the coal mines that had since shut down.
Grace was preceded in birth by Paul, Robert, and Ruth with the four children coming in quick succession in the course of six years. Their home was located in the countryside outside of Racine in a section called Oak Grove.
The family lived on a small farm consisting of 120 acres part of which consisted of woodland.
Their father provided for the family by working at the central loading station where oil was pumped onto trucks for distribution throughout the area. The farm, however provided the family's food so there was plenty of work to be done tending to their father's garden and the animals and with helping their mother with the canning of vegetables she did for the winter. The children were kept busy with chores.
From a very early age Grace's jobs including feeding the chickens. The house had no freezer; food was kept cool in a deep cellar.
The house they lived in didn't have electricity until Grace became a teenager, so light was provided by kerosene lamps. Heat in the winter came from two fireplaces on the first floor. Grace shared a bedroom with her sister Ruth who was two year older. Some times in the winter water would freeze in their bedrooms. Having grown up accustomed to being cold at night to this day Grace sleeps with few blankets.
One time when Grace was four years old her brothers were watering their two horses. Grace came up behind a particularly gentle horse and patted it on the leg. The horse, thinking Grace's touch was a fly instinctively kicked, knocking Grace in the head, fracturing her skull leaving an indention that lasts to this day. A doctor came to the house and prescribed some rest, but before long Grace was back to full activity.
Kindergarten in those days was only for rich kids in the city.
When Grace turned five she was eligible to enter first grade, but her mother figured she was too young to make the two mile walk down dirt roads to the one room school house and another two miles back, so she waited till Grace was six to send her to school.
The one room school house was heated in the winter by a big pot-bellied stove. School let out in late April so that the children could help with the farms.
The school house happened to be by the little Methodist Church Grace's family attended. The pastor who served the bigger Methodist church in Racine also covered three smaller country churches, so the pastor would come to preach at their church only every other week.
After four years of schooling all the one room school houses in the areas were closed down and from that point on Grace and her siblings hopped on a school bus that took them to Racine where there was an elementary school and a high school.
The family never had much money; but things got even tighter when the Great Depression took hold when Grace was ten. Rather than lay off people, the employers at Grace's father's companies reduced employees' hours to part time.
Money was tight for most everybody in town. Grace took piano lessons in a class of students.
In high school Grace played guard on the girls' basketball team, following in her footsteps of her sister Ruth who had excelled in the sport. The games were held at night and involved bus trips to other towns. Her father was too busy to attend games and so on game days Grace would stay overnight in town at the home of a friend. l.
On Sunday evenings Grace and her sister Ruth would go into town for "Epworth League", the name in those days for the Methodist Youth Group at 6:30 p.m. followed by Sunday evening worship at 7:30 p.m.
Grace's sister Ruth surprised the family by getting married at the young age of 16 during the summer between her junior and senior years. It always puzzled Grace that her sister had married so young – she wasn't pregnant.
Ruth's husband had an uncle who owned a couple of grocery stores in the area and the newlyweds moved into some rooms adjoining one of the grocery stores where Ruth's husband worked. Ruth would end up spending her entire life living in Racine.
Grace's oldest brother Paul had mental problems and would continue to live on the farm till years later when his parents could no longer look after him at which point Grace and her brother Robert arranged for him to live in a sheltered home. Robert had left Racine after high school to attend Bible College in Cincinnati becoming a Nazarene preacher, serving churches in Ohio and then later in West Virginia.
In the Spring of 1937 during Grace's final year of high school the Ohio River flooded the town of Racine shutting down the school for two months. Nevertheless, Grace managed to graduate on time with her class made up of 55 students. The family did not have the money to send Grace to college, but as a result of her hard work and good grades, she was accepted into a three year nursing program 180 miles away in Cincinnati at Christ Hospital, a hospital started by Methodists. The cost was only $80 a year which covered room and board, a uniform and two pairs of shoes. Grace borrowed the money from her parents, paying them back over time.
From the beginning of their first year the nursing students provided staffing for Christ Hospital. The student nurses only had two weeks of vacation, so Grace's visits home to Racine were few and far between.
After graduating in 1940 Grace continued working at the hospital in the Maternity Ward for three years.
In 1943 the United States entered World War II and with patriotic fervor sweeping the land Grace enlisted to serve her country in the Nursing Naval Corp.
She was stationed in Philadelphia at the Naval Hospital where she served primarily the wives of servicemen.
A intense fear gripped our nation in the face of the threat posed by Hitler and the Fascism of both Germany and Japan – a level of fear I don't think any generation since has known. Grace has a memory that expresses something of the depth of that fear.
One night while on duty there was a woman under Grace's care who suffered from severe anxiety. Grace tried to calm her down as best she could before moving on to tend to the other patients under her care. After a while Grace returned to the woman's room to discover her missing from her bed. Grace searched everywhere, finally locating her behind curtains and covered with fresh linens.
The woman was hiding, she said because she feared that Hitler had won the war. She was convinced he was coming for her.
It was during this period of time that Grace met Eli, the man who would become Grace's husband.
Eli was born in Russia in 1908, the fourth of five sons in a family during a time of severe political unrest, the result of which was that his family immigrated to the United States when Eli was only three years old, just six years before the Communist Revolution that toppled the Tsar. Eli's family settled in the Philadelphia area. Tragically, Eli's oldest brother died in the world-wide influenza that followed World War I in 1918, killing 50 million worldwide and 675,000 here in the United States.
In 1943 Eli was working for a drug company and would often have lunch in the eating place frequented by nurses. At some point they met and soon afterwards began to date.
In 1944 however Grace was transferred to the Naval Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia to work there in the maternity ward. With Eli remaining behind in Philadelphia the relationship survived the distance that separated them. Eli came to visit a couple of times. At some point Eli proposed and it came to pass that the man born in Russia and the woman born and raised on a small farm in rural Ohio were joined together in holy wedlock in Norfolk, Virginia by a Navy chaplain on December 17th, 1945 just three months after the end of World War II, and close to the time of Grace's discharge.
The newlyweds settled back in Philadelphia where once again Grace worked in a maternity ward at Presbyterian Hospital in West Philadelphia. At times she would work as a private duty nurse with individual patients who needed special attention.
Steven was born in 1947. Eli took a job with Sandoz that led to the family moving in 1950 to the house in Morris Plains that they would call home to this day. Barbara was born in 1951.
Soon after arriving in Morris Plains, a woman from Welcome Wagon directed Grace to the Parsippany Methodist Church where she began attending. She became a member on November 7th, 1954 which makes Grace presently the church member with the longest running membership, 64 years and counting.
This is Grace working at one of the earliest Church Craft Fairs in this building.
When Barbara was ten Grace returned to work part time as a nurse at Riverside Hospital in Boonton. Grace stopped working at the hospital when Lynn was born in 1964.
Grace returned to work part time when Barbara was old enough to look after Lynn after school. The hospital was desperate for nurses so Grace could quote her hours.
Grace's parents were country people who didn't stray far from home, so every summer the family would travel to Ohio for a visit.
Ruth had three sons, the youngest of which was close to Steven in age. They would also see Grace's brother the Nazarene preacher and his family.
This is a picture taken in 1977 at the wedding of a friend of Steve's from Lafayette College in which he was a groomsman. That's Lynn.
Eli's religious heritage was Judaism, although he did not attend a synagogue. His observance of the faith was limited to Yom Kippur and eating matzo at Passover.
Eli's spirituality found expression through his involvement first with the Masons, and then with the Shriners, becoming the secretary of the Shriner Temple in Livingston. He had a special passion for the work the Shriners did to help sick children, and would on occasion accompany a sick child on a flight to Boston where the Shriners had a hospital.
Through the Shriners, Eli and Grace took two trips to Hawaii, and several trips to Europe that included visits to Paris, Berlin and Greece.
Eli had suffered a heart attack in 1979 from which he fully recovered.
But we know not the hour or the day of our departure from this world. In 1982 Eli was at his desk at the Shriners Temple in Livingston talking on the phone to his friend Ernie, the head of the Shriners when he suffered a massive heart attack. He died before the ambulance could arrive. He was 74 years old at the time of his death breaking the heart of Grace, as well as those of Steven, Barbara and Lynn.
Lynn was a senior in high school when her father died. In spite of her grief, Lynn went on to graduate from Boston University in 1986. Returning to New Jersey, Lynn became a graduate student eventually completing her Phd, becoming a professor at Rutgers in New Brunswick, Lynn spends weekends with her mother in Morris Plains.
Barbara and her husband Bruno settled in Wayne. They have two children, Evan and Becky whose arrival into this world brought great joy to their grandmother.
After serving as a public defender to those who otherwise could not afford a layer, Bruno became a judge in Passaic County. Evan followed in his father's footsteps by attending Law school and becoming an attorney. Rebecca graduated from the University of New Hampshire. She presently works at the Passaic courthouse maintaining contact with plaintiffs in upcoming court cases.
Steve enjoys writing as well as training young people in the art of boxing. He ran a roofing business for many years before retiring. He lives at home watching over his mother as her mobility and energy has declined having passed one hundred years upon this earth.
It has been a special blessing to know grace these past thirty years as her pastor.
This is a picture of Grace and Lynn with my son Bobby.

Are you looking for the Best Tile Cleaning in Brisbane QLD Australia in 2019? Perhaps, a grout cleaner or sealer ? For this reason, we have set out to help you choose the best one in Brisbane City community. What is their specialty? What experience do they have? How flexible are they and much more? After careful consideration, here is our choice.
When you are looking for high quality tile and grout cleaning services South Queensland Restorations will make sure your home or business is always a clean and healthy place to live and work in. They have been on the job since 2000 and have one of the finest reputations in Brisbane City.
They do not take tile and grout cleaning for granted. The health of your employees on the job, or your family at home can be hampered by hidden dangers in your floor, walls and ceiling. Here are some of things you need to expect from these tile and grout cleaning professionals.
Ceramic tile has been around for hundreds of years and for a very good reason. It is durable and cost effective. It is used in Commercial businesses as well as residential homes. But just like anything else, it does need to be maintained.
Maintaining a clean appearance of your tiles seems to be a challenge because of the dirt that builds up in the thin grout lines that hold the tiles in place. Without a reliable cleaning company, to keep your tiles clean, your tile will eventually get water stains, mildew, mold, dirt and dust. This will hamper the looks of the finest tile with the absence of regular cleaning.
What gets Soiled? Tile or Grout?
In most cases, the actual tile is not what gets soiled, it is the grout that gets soiled. Because the grout is slightly lower than the tile itself, this allows dirt to accumulate quicker and cleaning it is more difficult because of the porous texture. Regular maintenance is necessary to maintain a sparkling clean tile grout.
The best way to have clean tile grout is to have it sealed with a penetrating sealer or impregnator when the tile was installed. If this was never done or it has been years since it was performed, the businesses (as well as residential) need a regular maintenance program.
Your bathroom, either in a business or your home, is where grout will easily get absorbed up with allergens like mildew and mold. The humidity that is in a bathroom will enhances mold growth and expose people to health issues. With clean tile grout, you will have a great finish and clean look of your tile. And, it will also ensure that your bathroom is a safe place for your family & friends and if a business, your employees health.
With a team of experienced, fully insured and licensed operators, South Queensland Restoration's total cleaning professionals offer an immediate response to your cleaning and repair needs. David Hall and his team are certified and meet Australian standards. Each of their professional team members work directly within the South Queensland's organization. No job is ever subcontracted out. They are happy to service both commercial and residential customers throughout Brisbane.

5 savage horror movies set to ruin your dreams in 2017
By Wiehahn Diederichs
Read nextTrevor Noah bags MTV Movie & TV Award as Daily Show host, thanks Trump
From entering another Stephen King saga to the return of Pennywise the Dancing (utterly demented) Clown, it seems 2017 will be a year filled with fear, tears and relentless terror. So gather your courage, go for your psychological check-up and prepare yourself for this year's fright fest.
Here's a list of some of 2017's most notable horror movie releases…
Release date: 28 July
Based on a series of Stephen King novels of the same name, The Dark Tower follows the story of Jake Chambers (Tom Taylor), a boy who discovers an alternate dimension called "Mid-World". Here he meets the lone knight (Idris Elba) who is on a quest to find the Dark Tower so that he can save Mid-World from extinction.
This quest will be anything but easy though, as a plethora of monsters and a dark sorcerer known as Walter Padick (Matthew McConaughey) will do whatever they can to stop him.
The film will continue where the novels ended but it is also said that it will be more of a new take on the series rather than a straightforward adaptation.
Whatever the case may be, the combo of a film based on a Stephen King Novel and a high-profile cast definitely makes The Dark Tower one to look out for.
Release Date: 11 August
Director: David Sandberg
The original Annabelle received mixed reviews from critics, many feeling that it did not live up to the quality of its forerunner, The Conjuring. That being said, the film did end up grossing a total of US$256.9-million worldwide, which was more than enough reason to go for round two.
Although not officially confirmed, it is speculated that Annabelle 2 will be a prequel to its 2014 predecessor, focussing on the origin of the evil doll. The film follows the story of a doll maker and his wife who lost their young daughter twenty years ago. The couple decide to shelter a group of girls and a nun who have been left homeless after the closing of a nearby orphanage, "soon becoming the target of the doll maker's possessed creation, Annabelle".
According to Trace Thurman, writer at Bloody Disgusting, who was shown a few minutes of exclusive footage, Annabelle 2 has a much "bigger emphasis on mood and atmosphere".
IT: Part 1 – The Loser's Club
Release date: 8 September
Director: Andres Muschietti
This year we will see the return of IT and the notorious Pennywise, the sadistic clown that ensured coulrophobia became a perfectly justifiable fear.
Based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, the story of IT follows the cruel exploits of an evil interdimensional creature that is able to shape shift into its prey's worst nightmares. As its favourite prey tends to be young kids, this creature often takes on the form of "Pennywise the Dancing Clown", using it to lure them into its traps.
The heroes of our story are the members of "The Losers Club", a group of outcast kids who are hunted by Pennywise and vow to destroy him.
IT will take on the same duology format as the 1990 mini-series, with Part 1 following the Losers Club as kids and Part 2 seeing them return to their hometown as adults to investigate the rumours of Pennywise's return. Director, Andres Muschietti, claims that his version of Pennywise will be much darker than the original and will make you "shit a brick".
At this point there's not much more known about this year's IT but we have recently received a terror-inducing trailer that provides us with our first glimpse at the Losers Club kids, featuring Stranger Thing's Finn Wolfhard as Richie Tozier, and Pennywise portrayed by Bill Skarsgård.
Release date: 20 October
Director: Adam Robitel
The Insidious franchise started with a low-budget indie horror in 2010 that quickly become a cult hit thanks to the suspenseful direction of James Wan. Since then it has become one of the most memorable horror franchises in modern history, spawning three more terrifying entries. This year we are treated to Insidious: Chapter 4.
Chapter 4 will be directed by The Taking of Deborah Logan's Adam Robitel, which is by far one of the most disturbing and terrifying horror films I've witnessed.
It takes off where Chapter 3 ended, with the medium Elise and the two paranormal hunters, Specs and Trucker, starting their paranormal hunting company, Spectral Sightings (as seen in the original Insidious).
According to Lin Shaye, who has played the medium Elise since the franchise's first instalment, the film goes back to Elise's beginnings.
"It's a fantastic story and it took me back into what made Elise who she is. You meet my family, my mother, my father—we go back to my hometown, which is in New Mexico. And so that's where this takes place and her quest to find the bad guy that's been haunting her."
Saw: Legacy
Directors: Michael and Peter Spierig
It's been a while (seven years to be exact) since we witnessed the brutal and gore-filled antics of Jigsaw in the Saw films. Well, the wait is finally over. This year we see the release of the franchise's eighth instalment, Saw: Legacy.
Currently, details on the new entry are rather scarce with not even as much as an official photo still to provide some clarity. We do however know that the movie will begin with multiple dead bodies being discovered throughout the city and all evidence points to John Kramer a.k.a. "Jigsaw", the main antagonist of the Saw films.
As Kramer was proclaimed dead in the previous film, it is speculated that either an apprentice has taken over his work or Jigsaw had another trick up his sleeve and was never really dead in the first place.
Tobin Bell, who has played Kramer since the original, will be returning to the role but we have no idea in what capacity. Other cast members include Laura Vandervoort (Smallville, Ted), Brittany Allen (All My Children) and Josiah Black (American Bad Boy).

Shake all of the ingredients with ice. Done. Garnish with a lemon twist if you wish. Serve in an old style champagne glass. I have broken all mine to use a small wine or martini glass instead.
NOW EXPERIMENT, a cocktail shaker is ideal but any water tight container can be used. Strain the ice out though.
As long as you remember 45ml white rum to 45ml acid and sweet you can play with this drink, changing the sugar syrup and juice ratios to suit your taste. I also buy Monin, a flavoured syrup but you can just add a fruit pulp or flavour to your simple sugar syrup.
Crush some mint leaves in the shaker then add all the ingredients and shake with ice.
Garnish with a slice of the fruit, when in season, like I have above. Yum.
a plop of passion fruit pulp.
Again garnish with the fruit if in season.
If you have a blender you can make a frozen daiquiri by adding Cointreau and adjusting again.
Blend all the ingredients with a ½ cup of crushed ice. traditionally served with a cherry on top. Perfect.
Put a sliced banana in for a stunning Banana Daiquiri, use any fresh or tinned fruit to your liking, but fresh is best. I enjoy a strawberry or apricot frozen daiquiri too. Going off track a little but pineapple and a little cream or coconut cream works a treat, not sure if this is still a daiquiri though! Whatever you choose these are cool and cleansing on a hot day, from the first icy sip to the last, melted one.


The writer/director and cast of the darkly humorous comedy/drama, 'Ms. White Light,' discuss the characters they portrayed and what the film means to them.
Ethan Hawke's outstanding performance centers Logan Marshall-Green's independent film about a 'three-strikes' ex-con trying to reintegrate into society.
Exploring what it means to be beautiful, this vivid show inspired by a West African fable lenses familiar passions and traumas into high relief.


Close by me forever, and love me I pray….
This has always been one of my two favorite carols. The imagery is so vivid; the emotion it provokes so comforting; the appeal so true to my heart, though I am no longer child.
How often my heart cries, "Be near me, Lord Jesus and love me I pray." And yet I cannot question either his nearness or his love. He has promised to be near me: "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee," Paul told us of Christ in Hebrews 13:5. "Loved with everlasting love," the hymn printed below proclaims.
His love didn't begin in the manger. His love for me didn't begin the day I accepted Him as my Savior. His love is eternal, from everlasting to everlasting, from the beginning until the end.
There is nothing I can do that changes it. "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord," Paul wrote in Romans 8:38-39. I don't care how I might feel I am loved by God. He is never the problem. And the fact I am my own stumbling block doesn't change His nearness or His love.
I am the one who makes the difference because this relationship is a two-way street. "Draw nigh (near) to God, and he will draw nigh (near) to you," James 4:8 advises me. He is always as close as I will let Him be. He will not force his love, His will, or His way on me. But He is heart cry away.
You'd think I'd get the picture once and for all, but there I am in all my humanness, disgusted with myself and forgetting His everlasting love, regardless of my best or worst efforts.
As I celebrate this Christmas I want to remember His unwavering love, and I want to move near to Him so I will enjoy the best He has for me.
Spirit, breathing from above, Thou has taught me it is so!Oh, this full and perfect peace! Oh this transport all divine!In a love, which cannot cease, I am His and He is mine!Heaven above is softer blue, Earth around is sweeter green!
Something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen; Birds with gladder songs o'erflow, Flowers with deeper beauties shine,Since as I know, as now I know, I am His and He is mine.
Things that once were wild alarms Cannot now disturb my rest Close in everlasting arms, Pillowed on the loving breast. Oh, to lie forever here, Doubt, and care, and self resign, While He whispers in my ear, I am His and He is mine.
His forever, only His; Who the Lord and me shall part? Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart!
Heav'n and earth may fade and flee, Firstborn light in gloom declines; But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine.

*To compile the list, multiple variables were used and combined into a weighted average. Specifically, six factors were used: (1) total team assets under management; (2) growth of team assets; (3) growth of team annual production; (4) average production per advisor; (5) number of full-time advisors the program manager directly supervises; and (6) number of licensed branch employees (LBE) under their supervision. The number of LBEs didn't get as much weight as the other variables. Also, in some cases, estimates of production-per-advisor were used by dividing team production by the average number of advisors year-over-year. The ranking may not be representative of any one client's experience, is not an endorsement, and is not indicative of advisor's future performance.
