  Brundle, Joshua, was born on May 6, 1862, in the county of Suffolk, 
England. His father has been a local preacher in the Wesleyan, 
Primitive Methodist, and Methodist New Connection bodies over fifty 
years. He is one of twelve children, all of whom are living. He was 
converted in a prayer meeting when seventeen years of age, and very 
soon afterward was made a local preacher. He did considerable 
evangelistic work before coming to the United States, at Devonshire, 
Cornwall, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Scilly Islands (for the Bryonites), 
county of Cork, Ireland, Isle of Man, and other places. In 1892 he came 
to the United States. He was at Moody's school in Chicago one term. 
After preaching one summer in Detroit he went to Simpson's school in 
New York. In 1893 he was sent as supply to Rockdale, on Oneonta 
District, and in 1894 joined Wyoming Conference.
  In July, 1894, he returned to England, and on the 19th of the month 
married the third daughter of Mr. John Lucas, of Foxdale, Isle of Man. 
John Lucas was a local preacher in the Wesleyan body sixty-two years.
  His pastoral record is as follows: 1894, Harpursville; 1895, 
Harpursville and Nineveh; 1896-98, Masonville; 1899-1902, Davenport;
