Mary Purnell, along with her husband Benjamin, founded the House of David in Benton Harbor, Michigan. After his death, she had to overcome a series of challenges to create her own colony, the City of David. Some of the tenets of her faith included celibacy, vegetarianism and pacifism. This fascinating story of a charismatic woman will introduce the person, beliefs and achievements of Mary Purnell to a new generation."--Back cover blurb. 001380437 60010 $$aPurnell, Mary Stallard,$$d1862-1953. 001380437 60010 $$aPurnell, Benjamin Franklin,$$d1861-1927. 001380437 60017 $$aPurnell, Benjamin Franklin,$$d1861-1927.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00282727 001380437 60017 $$aPurnell, Mary Stallard,$$d1862-1953.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01916336 001380437 61020 $$aMary's City of David$$vBiography. 001380437 61020 $$aHouse of David (Religious society)$$vBiography. 001380437 61027 $$aHouse of David (Religious society)$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00561104 001380437 61027 $$aMary's City of David.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01660250 001380437 648_7 $$a1900-1999$$2fast 001380437 650_0 $$aAdventists$$zMichigan$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001380437 650_7 $$aAdventists.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00797436 001380437 651_7 $$aMichigan.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01208387 001380437 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919896 001380437 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001380437 830_0 $$aAmerican communal societies series ;$$vno. 9. 001380437 852__ $$bgen 001380437 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1380437$$pGLOBAL_SET 001380437 980__ $$aBIB 001380437 980__ $$aBOOK 001380437 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
