Historical NotesThis window is from Good Samaritan Chapel, built in 1935 and demolished March 1997. Father James Cox was a pastor at the chapel. The window was probably added in the 1960s. The topic of the window reflects the churches origin as a mission church to the poor during the Great Depression.
