  Granger, Gordon L., was born on September 2, 1876, at Lamont, Wyoming 
County, N.Y. When about two years of age his family moved to Allegheny 
County. He attended the Belfast High School some time.
  His heart was inclined to the Lord so early in life that he cannot 
recall the time of conversion. His activity in Epworth League work 
developed his gifts and made manifest his call to the ministry. The 
Olean District Conference of the Genesee Conference gave him local 
preacher's license on September 19, 1897. In the fall of 1898 he went 
to South Dakota, where he was sent as supply to Blunt. In the fall of 
1899 he went to Garrett Biblical Institute, where he remained the 
larger portion of the school year. The following year he supplied 
Colman charge, and in 1901 joined the Dakota Conference. In June, 1902, 
he was transferred to this Conference, being on trial and in the 
studies of the first year, and stationed at Tioga Center.
  On November 24, 1897, he married Miss Ida Hanegan, at Belmont, N.Y.
