Joseph and Mary would have about four children. Three of whom there is little information except that they could have possibly been sent to Texas. Fredonia A. Moore the second child, however, was definitely in Brazil as she married the Rev.John L Bruce, a missionary, in December of 1891 in Brazil. Fredonia and Caroline, her mother, were both very active in the church.

DEATH 1 OCT 1917 • Americana, Sao Paulo, Brazil

Son of Confederados Jackson Monroe Scurlock and Mary M Mills On 14 May 1864, Jackson paid the fee for the administration of Louisa H Braswell's property in Alabama. She was the mother of Camilla Braswell, who became Jackson's second wife. Jackson's tombstone in

the Corinth Cemetery in Choctaw County Alabama says he was buried at sea, probably on a trip to or from Brazil. There is a question as to whether he was on the "Talisman" which veered off course and ended up in the Cape Verde Islands before reaching Brazil, months later. Some think that he is buried in Cape Verde.

Patrick Henry Scurlock was born in Choctaw County, AL. The Scurlock family left the war-torn South after the Civil War in 1867 for the promise of Brazil, as did thousands of fellow Southerners. These emigrants were called "Os Confedrados" by the Brazilians & were welcomed by King Dom Pedro II. After about nine years in Brazil, the Scurlocks all moved back to Choctaw County, AL. except Henry Scurlock and his family. He is buried in Santa Barbara De'Oreste, Sao Paulo, Brazil at historic Campo Cemetery with his wife & children. His headstone reads P. H. Scurlock Born Feb 13, 1853, Died Oct 1, 1917. The P. H. is short for Patrick Henry.

Patrick Henry Scurlock (often called "John") was born on 13 Feb 1853 in the town of Mount Sterling in Clark Co or Choctaw County, Alabama. He enlisted in the Confederate Army Company "I", the 6th Texas Calvary at Dallas Texas in 1861. Scurlock fought in the Balle of Elkhorn Tavern, Corinth, Hatchie Bridge, and the famous Atlanta campaign. He surrendered in May 1865 in Mississippi, after the Civil War was officially over. He returned to Alabama after the Civil War, a dispirited man.

Reverend John Lee Bruce

By E. H. Rawlinson

Brother Bruce was born at South Boston, July 11, 1864. His parents were Thomas and Harriet Bruce. And in young manhood he was converted and soon there-after entered Randolph-Macon College, graduating in 1887. From there he went to Vanderbilt University, where he completed the course in theology, and while at Vanderbilt he dedicated his life to foreign work.

It was my privilege to know brother Bruce intermittently, but rather intimately, over a largeperiod of his useful life, beginning when we were together as students in Randolph-Macon College. One thought, instantly, the sincerity of his spirit as a freshman college lad, the earnestness of his student purpose and the rugged integrity of his character in classroom and in all the highways and byways of college life, and at the end of the four years, rejoice in the good testimony he left behind among students and teachers. From Randolph Macon he went, great obstacles confronting him, to Vanderbilt University. Here we were thrown again intimately together, for one year rooming together in the latter institution. In Vanderbilt he left the impression of courage, studiousness to the point of scholarly learnedness, and an unflinching loyalty to duty.

At the close of his training in the seminary, the call came from Bishop Wilson for a man to go to Brazil. Nobody had thought of Bruce as a volunteer or candidate for Foreign Service. He had not been to a great volunteer conventions, sign any card, as was the custom in those days, and had made, certainly, no parade of his interest in foreign service. And yet, we were not greatly surprised at his offer to go. We felt it was just like him quietly, without much conferring with the flesh and blood, but properly and resolutely to write to Bishop Wilson and answer the call of his church, which was to him as the call of his Lord.

Quietly in his sleep, during the early hours of Sunday, July 1st, the spirit of John Lee Bruce slipped away from his frail body. His going with not unexpected, as for several months he had been confined in his bed, and he had longed for the end. His last days were spent in White Plains, New York, surrounded by his devoted wife and four children to care for him.

Today, it is not for a wonderful, or a very unusual thing, when a student- preacher offers and sails for foreign Mission service. Times have changed, the ends of the earth or not so far away, and conditions abroad are nothing like so strange and hard. But then, it was thought of as the supreme test of discipleship, the very climax of devotion and sacrificial adventure, for a young man to take his life in his hand, and turn his back upon home and friends and tongue and native land, to sail away as a missionary to every land. Other men who had seemed more interesting, and who had said much more about it, might falter and finally fail the church. But for John Bruce it was of the very essence of loyalty, out of a profound conviction of urgency, and of the solid strength of his personal character, not to count the cost, but to answer and go at his Master's call.

Brother Bruce went to the foreign field, when, if my memory serves me right, we had not another missionary from this conference in any land, and when we had had only two or three in the entire history of our missionary service abroad. In 1890 he was appointed to the Brazil mission. He went first to Piracicaba, where Bishop Granberry had hoped he might found a school for boys. No funds were fourth coming for this work, so he joined Rev J. L. Kennedy and taught in a school that Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy directed in Taubate. From there, he went to Granberry College, and Juiz de Fora, where his best work in Brazil was done.

In December 1891, brother Bruce married Miss Donnie Moore. She and her mother had been pioneers in our work in Brazil, showing great kindness and hospitality to our first missionaries. Miss Moore had taught successfully in several of our schools and was a member of the Granbury faculty at the time of her marriage.

Brother Bruce was an untiring student and became proficient in the Portuguese language. Being of a strict, upright, unflinching temperament, he did much to instill high ideals in his students. His influence in raising the standard of scholarship and in establishing the honor system at Granbury College cannot be overestimated. For a year and a half, he was president of this institution and did much toward strengthening and extending the curriculum.

During his twenty-five years in Brazil, brother Bruce did valiant service in various capacities as a pastor, Presiding Elder, teacher, treasurer, and in other positions filled by him. At one annual conference when there was no Bishop on the field, his brothers voted and elected him president.

In 1915, on account of declining health, brother Bruce left Brazil. To better fit himself for work in the homeland, he entered Columbia University, where he took the degree of M. A. At the same time, he taught Portuguese at Columbia. Several years were spent in the west in search of health. But for the last few years, his home had been near New York, where his four children reside.

Brother Bruce's interest in Brazil never diminished. During his last illness, he was often talking about and praying for the evangelization of Brazil. When a friend mentioned that he should feel satisfied at having found the seed of the gospel, he replied: “yes, but strong men are needed to cultivate the soil.”

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. E. B. Crook, a former missionary to Brazil. Other friends and co-laborers in joining the family in laying the remains to rest in a beautiful cemetery near White Plains, New York.

John Bruce was a quiet man, almost solitary sometimes in the deeper depth of his personal diligence and devotion. But he was true all the way to the bottom, and faithful. He belonged for many years to the Brazil Conference. But when, on account of illness, he must retire from active missionary service, he transferred back, and it was a real satisfaction to him to be ally again with the brethren of his home conference. In the Providence of God, he lived in his last years outside the boundaries of the conference, and it was not his privilege to see much of his brethren. No representative at the conference was near when the final summons came, and few of our number, perhaps personally knew him. But today we pause sincerely and gratefully, to do him honor. Truly he is worthy. We cannot forget that John L. Bruce moved at the very head of the noble line of boys and girls who from Randolph- Macon and from this conference who have gone for us to other lands.

Peace to his brave and precious dust. Our affectionate sympathy goes out to his loved ones today, and we pray that in such a time as this a double portion of his spirit, the spirit of his great Master, may fall upon us all.

Glenn C. Parker, Sr., 86, passed away peacefully at his home in Severna Park, MD on Friday, April 24, 2015, as a result of heart and lung failure.

Glenn was born on December 4, 1928, to Glenn and Dorothy Parker in Adams Center, NY. Raised on a dairy farm, Glenn spent his youth in Upstate New York then served in the Air Force from 1948 to 1952. He played the trombone in the Air Force band during the Korean War and then attended the University of Maryland on the G.I. bill. While at Maryland he played trombone in the University of Maryland Marching and Pep Bands, joined SAE Fraternity, and obtained a BA in History in 1955. Glenn subsequently earned a law degree at the University of Maryland Law School in 1958. He continued his trombone playing with the Baltimore Colts Marching Band. Glenn joined the law firm of Smith, Somerville, and Case where he made partner while focusing largely on worker compen-sation law. He was elected Chairman of the Executive Committee from 1981 to 1991 and retired in 1993.

Through the years, Glenn's family was at the center of his life. He married his beloved "Dottie" in 1955 and they raised three children, Nancy, Anne, and Glenn, Jr. In 1962 the family moved from Baltimore to Linstead in Severna Park then to their current home on the Severn River in 1972. Family vacations and travel revolved around Glenn's favorite hobbies: sailing and flying. Blessed with a gift for storytelling, musical talent, and a wonderful sense of humor, Glenn was a favorite at neighborhood gatherings, church events, and on the tennis court. He gave tirelessly of his time to the transformation of Tipton Airport and to Hospice of the Chesapeake for which he and Dorothy were awarded Volunteers of the Year. Dedicated to their church since 1970, Dorothy and Glenn served in a variety of volunteer roles and enjoyed the friendships they developed.

Glenn is survived by his wife of 60 years, Dorothy; his children, Nancy Ford of Virginia Beach, Anne Papaioannu of Severna Park and Glenn Parker, Jr. of Arnold; his six grandchildren, Chris and Nick Ford, Pari and Steven Papaioannu and Eric and Jessica Parker; and sisters, Doris Bates of Sandy Creek, NY and Carol Merritt of Belleville, NY. We celebrate the life of Glenn Parker, one so fully and lovingly lived.
