McInnes Tree

Found a great webpage with a very detailed family chart of the descendants of John McInnes. Follow the trail down through James McInnes, Hugh McInnes I, James McInnes, and grandpa Hugh Melvin McInnes. One interesting tidbit I want to research is that the elder James died in a coal mine accident. But the elder Hugh was also the last McInnes in my line to be born in Scotland. Seems there ought to be some good stories in there.

Field Worker Added To Staff

the following article appeared in the Rural Bible Crusade of Missouri newsletter, Nov.-Dec.-Jan., 1946-1947, Vol. 2, No. 1.

Rev. Hugh M. McInnes comes to us as a Field Worker, through the efforts of Rev. Floyd Hitchcock, who broadcasts the Faith of Our Fathers Program over Radio Station KWTO in Springfield , Mo. Rev. McInnes will work chiefly in the Springfield area in order to help Rev. Hitchcock with his radio program and preaching services in the rural communities.

He will visit the rural schools in that section to enroll them in the R.B.C. Memory Contest and explain the program and purpose of this Contest.

Rev. Hugh M. McInnes was born in Massillion, Ohio. In 1925 he married Beulah Guiley, the sister of our director.

After spending nine years in the banking business he and Mrs. McInnes felt led by the Lord to train for full time service.

In 1934 after both had graduated from the Moody Bible Institute they left for Montana where they served in Home Missions Churches for about five years. Mr McInnes served pastorates in Indiana and also in Michigan. His interest has chiefly been in Rural areas.

In December of 1946 he accepted the call to become a Field Worker of the Rural Bible Crusade of Missouri. He will begin his work with the Crusade on February 1, 1947.
