This is the seventh in the CABLE series. Because of distance requirements, I had to move to this spot. I have permission from the Pastor, so please respect where you are.
The center section of the East end is the old chapel.

Greater Love II
This is an unexpected offshoot of the Camp Adair Building Locating Exercise. This is one of the eleven chapels from the base. I had heard that one of the chapels had been moved to Dallas.
The original church that moved this chapel here is Trinity Lutheran which has moved into their new building on Fir Villa Rd. I believe that they moved the first part of 2011. Then the next user of this chapel was Living Hope City Church. It is now owned by Dallas Church. An interesting side note: when I was searching for this chapel, the first one that I found, I talked to the minister of Living Hope when she was using another church on Washington St. Though she was unable to help me at that time, neither one of us could have forseen that one day her church would be in the very one I was looking for.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
John 15 – 13
Of the four Divisions that trained at Camp Adair;
70th Infantry Division – “Trailblazers” - 775 killed in Europe
91st Infantry Division – “Powder River” - 1,575 killed in Europe
96th Infantry Division - “Deadeyes” – 603 killed in Leyte, 1,598 killed in Okinawa
104th Infantry Division – Timberwolves” – 1,447 killed in Europe
Please keep in mind that some of these men prayed in this chapel.
In John H. Baker’s book “Camp Adair” he states on page 109 that when the camp was razed, all the chapels were spared. Four were moved to be war memorials, seven for churches.
I have had a surprising success in locating some of the chapels. If you are interested in my Camp Adair investigations, you may want to try (visit link) This web page is still growing, so check back. Keep your eyes open for more “Greater Love ??” As I locate more chapels, I will try to be able to set caches, if possible.
