Charles and Lynn;
I did some checking at my end and found a church close to 320 Main St. The First United
Methodist Church is at 333 N. Main St., downtown South Bend. I tried phoning the church
office today to see if they might know of Pastor Elmer Ward Cole, but nobody answered. I
can try again Monday.
The church is an old building. It looks like it is at least 100 years old. Maybe it
changed denominations sometime in its history, and maybe the street addresses changed as
well.
I'll keep you posted.

And one more that gave the history behind the First Christian Church...and
again, not the exact one where Pastor Elmer Ward Cole served.
I found out where he served by calling up a site (.pdf) where it told of his
speaking at a commencement for a school. In it, they said he was pastor of
the First Christian Church of South Bend, IN. Just so you know where I got
that info of his service.
