Sketch of "How 'Dippers' are Initiated." From newspaper: The Irish Independent, August 20, 1907 - Baptism Sketch #2
Baptism Sketch from Impartial Reporter Oct. 20 & 27, 1904. "Rain was falling ... as some three hundred people assembled on the banks of Ballycassidy river to witness the baptism by immersion of ... four men and two women-who had embraced the faith expounded by the Tramps under the leadership of Mr. Irvine and Mr. Edward Cooney." Those present at Ballinamallard that day included Edward Cooney, John West, Jack Carroll and William Irvine who all preached to the assembly in the bitterly cold weather of the "dreary autumn afternoon". - Baptism Sketch #3
1904 "The Derry People" The first picture published in connection with the performance of the strange sect of "Dippers" or "Pilgrims" that has arisen in Fermanagh. The river in the picture is the Ballinamallard, is which the curious dippers perform their ablations. The snapshot from which the picture is drawn, was taken late in the evening, and just before the 'dipping operations' commenced. The people on the bank are sightseers waiting for the "dippers" to come on. October breezes are not favorable to the new cult, and many of the "Dippers" are now suffering from severe colds. - Baptism Sketch #4

- Kropp children-Playing Meeting
Playing meeting...this was all my sons idea. He was about 3 in this photo and his sister was about 1 yr old. I came upon this scene and just had to take a photo. My son had set up the meeting in our den. He had lined up the 3 little blue chairs in a row, like the one he is sitting in, along with Ollie (the chicken on wheels) had his sister sitting in her booster chair, a stool, and the blue rocking chair made by my Daddy. Various books are in sight and my son had assumed a pose his Dad often took in meeting, with his leg crossed over his knee. There was some singing and then he jumped up and said something with a book in his hand--and the only word I recognized was "privilege." Taken about 1980 in Longview, Texas. - Bible Study & Convention Speaker Lists 1975
