Lewistown, PA
The Salvation Army in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, was founded on April 2, 1906 and was for a time located on the Klondike. Commissioners Paul and Louise Kaiser were invited back to Lewistown in 1976 for the 70th anniversary of the corps by Captains Schenk. Louise Kaiser is known to have said on that occasion that she loved Lewistown as she felt the mountains reminded her of Switerland.
When the Klondike building was condemned, Major Raymond Simpson moved the church to its current location at 9 S. Dorcas St. This building was formerly owned by the Lewistown Sentinel and was obtained for $1. Lewistown is located in the PenDel Division.

From the location of this entry in the Roll book, it would suggest that Lieutenant Weaver was the assistant to Walter Guldenschuh who was here 64 to 68. Not sure if the date is correct or the placement is wrong
