Brother Frank Schaffner Back At Morning Prayer

Brother Frank Schaffner, who started the Coudersport Gospel Tabernacle morning prayers nineteen years ago, returned to morning prayer this morning.

Brother Frank was shopping at Walmart in Olean recently when he fell over a new rack that was being constructed in an aisle.

He was taken to the Olean Hospital by ambulance, suffering from a broken nose, and a broken arm at his left wrist, bruises and lacerations.

Brother Frank, who is an eternal optimist, said his pain is bearable, and although his arm is in a cast, he hopes to be back in church on Sunday. He said he's getting "an awful lot of attention since the accident."

Frank's wife, Vera, nursed a broken hand for months last year, after she was injured in an auto accident. Frank said "I'm glad it was me and not Vera that got hurt."

God bless you, Brother Frank. We love you!!

Long Time Member, Former Potter County Judge H.B. Fink, Did His Best To Bring People To Christ

Former Potter County District Attorney and Judge H.B. Fink, was a long time member of the Coudersport Gospel Tabernacle Church. You could depend on a smile and a bit of friendly conversation anytime you happened to cross paths with him on a Sunday.

After being removed from the bench for publicly encouraging people to find an new life in Christ, H.B. ,as he was lovingly called, started a private law practice in Port Allegany from which he retired a couple of weeks ago at the age of 81.

The unconventional Judge, with a smile and a twinkle in his eye, was hard to dislike, even when he sent you to jail. As an attorney, he was well respected and would give his clients his best representation, even in cases other lawyers wouldn't take.

At the Gospel Tabernacle, he seldom missed a Sunday service, until recently as his illness overcame him. H.B. Fink was a loving man and his presence here will be missed.

Friends will be received Thursday at the Coudersport Gospel Tabernacle from 5:00 to 7:00 pm where a memorial service will follow at 7:00 pm.
