The Fighting Pastor

The Fighting Pastor
This 1925 article from the Cleveland Press announces the retirement of Rev. William W. Bustard from his position as pastor of the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church. Bustard, who was noted for his fiery sermons, particularly against Cleveland saloonkeepers, was also a good friend and golfing partner to John D. Rockefeller. He and his wife owned and resided in the Jacob Strong home from 1919 until 1925. When in Cleveland, Rockefeller often visited the Bustards at their Shaker Heights residence. | Source: Cleveland Press Collection, Cleveland State University Library Special Collections
