Biographical Note
Charles Warren Brewbaker (1869-1960) was born October 18, 1869 at State Line, Pennsylvania. On August 30, 1899 he married
Nellie M. Stokes. Two daughters were born of their marriage. He was educated at the West Virginia Normal Academy in Buckhannon,
the Western College in Toledo, Iowa and the Union BIblical seminary. He also earned the STM and PH.D degrees from the Illinois
Wesleyan University. Brewbaker was ordained by the Iowa Conference of the United Brethren Church in 1893. His pastoral
appointments included United Brethren Churches in Maryland, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. In 1913, he was elected by the General
Conference of his denomination to serve as General Secretary of the Sunday School and Brotherhood work. From 1929 until 1933
he served as Secretary of Evangelism. After this assignment he was appointed pastor of the United Brethren Church in Dayton,
Ohio. He served there until his retirement in 1939. Brewbaker was a prolific writer, authoring twelve books and many articles
in the areas of Christian Education, Evangelism, and Churchmanship. He traveled nationally and internationally representing
the church in the interest of Christian Education. Brewbaker died on May 11, 1960 at the age of 91.
Scope Note
The collection comprises mostly Charles Warren Brewbaker's published works and other writings. The majority of the publications
include articles from church-related periodicals. These articles discuss topics such as children’s Sunday School attendance,
elderly participation in the church, preaching, and the church’s involvement in society. The unpublished works consist of
book manuscripts, sermons, and Sunday School lessons. Given the ambiguous format of the sermons and Sunday School lessons,
these often overlap in the collection. There are several miscellaneous items in the collection as well, including Brewbaker’s
passport and several photographs.
