 | | William M. Parham (1846-?), from an old Philadelphia family, of noble English ancestry, married a German lady, Ann Maria Eckel (?-1885) of Germantown, Pennsylvania, and settled in Muscatine, Iowa, where on June 4, 1873, Charles Fox Parham (1873-1929) was born. |
 | | Parham and his wife became more committed to healing as they studied the Bible and experienced an increasing number of dramatic healings in their ministry. |
 | | Parham remembers that "scores of persons, married and single, were consecrating their lives to God, and volunteering for His service, without money and without price, to preach this gospel, but felt the need of Bible teaching" (Parham, p.135). |
