  Callendar, Asa A., was born on August 25, 1869, in Fairmount 
township, Luzerne County, Pa. He is a graduate of the Bloomsburg State 
Normal School, and has been a very successful school-teacher for a 
number or years. He has covered fully two thirds of the studies 
necessary for admittance to the bar. 
  He was converted in 1895, and soon after became convinced that it was 
his duty to preach. This conviction grew upon him until he yielded. 
  On October 11, 1899, he married Miss Margaret Foxcroft, of Kingston, 
Luzerne County, Pa.
  He was a local preacher about four months before joining Conference 
in 1902, when he was stationed at Decatur. In 1903 he was appointed to 
Masonville.
