After marrying the love of her life, John P. Seskes, she served for over 37 years as personal secretary to Rev. Rex Humbard, pastor of the first worldwide TV ministry at the Cathedral of Tomorrow in Akron, Ohio. Devotion to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ was paramount to how she lived her life and taught her children and grandchildren who lovingly referred to her as their “Nana”. Margaret and John raised their family in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio where they lived, until moving close to their daughters in Dallas, Texas in 2000. Margaret is survived by her two daughters, Cynthia and Pamela; Pamela’s husband Jeffrey; grandchildren, Jonathan and Hanna, and sister Dorothy Richards. Margaret is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Rev. John P. Seskes; parents, Carl and Margaret Bee; siblings, Jimmy, William and Elsie.

A Pastors Prayer Our Heavenly Father: We seek Thy face at this early hour on our Lord’s great day. Above all else, we need Thy melting grace and a sense of Thy divine presence among us. Even now, give us the humility of faith and the inner assurance of Thy enabling power. Our own reserves seem very low this morning. But we trust Thee now for all we need. Even as our Lord himself admonished Peter so long ago, help us to “feed the sheep” entrusted to our care. Rather readily we detect many cares and conflicts that surround those we serve. But often we do not read their deepest needs except on their downcast countenances and by their wistful glances.

  • A Case Study of Appalachian Migration to Akron, Ohio 1900-1940
    INDUSTRIAL VOYAGERS: A CASE STUDY OF APPALACHIAN MIGRATION TO AKRON, OHIO 1900-1940 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Susan Allyn Johnson, B.A., M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Professor Warren Van Tine, Adviser Approved by Professor David Stebenne Professor Mansel Blackford ______________________________ Adviser Graduate Program in History ABSTRACT Between 1910 and 1960, nearly nine million southerners left the South for other regions of the country. The vast majority of the historical scholarship on this “Great Migration” has focused on the out-migration of African Americans from the South. “Industrial Voyagers: A Case Study of Appalachian Migration to Akron, Ohio, 1900-1940,” examines the migration of an often overlooked element of this migration—Southern Appalachians who moved to the industrial centers of the Midwest. Akron is a significant case study for this process. Migration to Akron began in the early twentieth century as the emergence of the rubber industry attracted thousands of newcomers who sought jobs in the city’s expanding factories. The duration of this in-migration presents the opportunity to examine this movement as it evolved and changed over decades. This study focuses on the regional economic disparities that encouraged out-migration from Appalachia; the ways migration streams became established between Appalachia and Akron; the experiences and reception of newcomers; and the evolving relationship between southerners and the labor movement in Akron. The southerners who arrived in Akron during this period were encouraged to move by Akron manufacturers who suffered recurring periods of labor shortages.

  • The Religious Right, the Reagan Administration, and the Cold War A
    For God and Country: The Religious Right, the Reagan Administration, and the Cold War A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Jeremy R. Hatfield May 2013 © 2013 Jeremy R. Hatfield. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled For God and Country: The Religious Right, The Reagan Administration, and the Cold War by JEREMY R. HATFIELD has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach, Jr. Associate Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT HATFIELD, JEREMY R., Ph.D., May 2013, History For God and Country: The Religious Right, the Reagan Administration, and the Cold War Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach, Jr. In the late 1970s, a number of prominent evangelical ministers decided to become actively involved in American politics. Dubbed the New Christian Right by some, the Religious Right or the Christian Right by others, these figures immediately became very vocal about the need to restore morality to American society and to insure that the United States retained its position as a preeminent military power in the world. This dissertation examines the Religious Right’s activism in matters of American foreign policy from the late 1970s through the end of the Cold War. It illuminates the underlying theological and political beliefs that characterized the Religious Right’s politics, and explains how the Religious Right became politicized. It also demonstrates that foreign affairs played a more prominent role in the activism of the Religious Right than many historians have realized.
