I have an old newspaper from Bridgeton, NJ (February 1903) that has an article that mentions Frank M Church in it. I thought his relatives on ancestry might be interested, so I've typed it up to share.
To Teach Music at S. J. I.
Prof. Frank M. Church, of Sandusky, Ohio, Selected
Graduate of Two Conservatories
His Brilliant Record as a Musician
The vacancy in the Music Department of South Jersey Institute caused by the resignation of Prof. DeMaris, has been filled by the election of Prof. Frank M Church of Sandusky, Ohio. While very sorry to lose the valuable services of Prof. DeMaris who has done so much for his department in the last five years, the authorities feel that they have in the new director a man in every way qualified for the position.
Prof. Church is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and of the New England Conservatory of Music, in Boston, in 1900, where he stood one of the first in a class of sixty members and was one of only four to receive a diploma as soloist. He has had considerable experience as teacher of Piano, Pipe, Organ and Harmony. Prof. Church has also served as organist and choir director in several large city churches, coming directly to the Institute from Chattanooga, Tenn. For a number of years he has engaged in concert work and has received many flattering press comments on his skill. During his stay at Boston he was engaged at different times to play on some of the largest organs in the city, having but two or three disengaged Sundays during the entire time. Among other difficult positions to which he has been called he acted as organist at the third annual concert to the People's Choral Union when the oratorio Naaman was given to an immense audience in Boston Music Hall !
on April 21, 1900, by a choir of 440 voices, assisted by noted soloist and the Boston Festival Orchestra. He has also filled engagements to play in the principal cities of the country - Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, etc. besides making a concert tour of the Canadian Provinces.
Prof. Church has not contented himself with knowing nothing but music for in his studies he has made himself an "all-around-man." He has done some special work along the lines of history and biography and is familiar with the French language. He has traveled extensively in the United States and Canada and has frequently written letters of travel and notes to various leading journals.

Do any of you have a Benajah Church in your line? I know of two men who shared this name, and I believe they were related. My 2-great-grandfather, Benajah Church, was the son of Zabrina (possibly misspelled) Church and Caroline Spaffard. Benajah married Phoebe/Phebe Underwood. He was a sharpshooter with Berdan's Raiders during the Civil War, and he lived in New York State before eventually settling in Eldorado Springs, MO. He and Phoebe had one child, daughter Caroline Church, who married George Washington Hainline.

I don't think they could be the same Miles Church. He was borned 1881 eithor North Carolina Or Virginia I found a marriage record W.M. Church & Maggie Edmonson Dec 1910 Johnson county Tennessee. Both of them were in the census in April 1910 Although he was married to a Mary I. Church.
It didn't show them having any children.So if he died in 1917 he would have missed the census 1920. My Dad Haze Carl Church was born 1912 Johnson County Tennessee.
