BOOK OFF PRESS - Bobby Bridges, Elizabeth Conner and Oscar Stalcup, left to
eg a ee Teint
right, look over the first copies of the cover for Mrs. Conner’s book “Through The
Valley” which is now off the press and available for sale at $3 per copy.
Mrs. Conner Writes Book
Elizabeth Owensby Con-
ner, a Bessemer City native
and current resident of
Gastonia, has a story to tell
about her faith in God and
how it cured her from what
was described as an “in-
operable” tumor in her spine,
and feels her story can best
be told through a short
75-page book “Through The
Valley” which will be on sale
in the area next week.
“Mrs. Conner’s tumor was
found in 1979 and she first
was told that the only hospital
where a successful operation
could be performed was in
Zurich, Switzerland. But, Dr.
Jerry H. Greenhoot attemp-
ted it at Charlotte’s
Presbyterian Hospital, and
although removal of the
tumor was successful, it was
feared that the 18-hour opera-
dion would leave her paralyz-
ed.
She has gradually improv-
ed and feels she is completely
healed despite an occasional
cramp in one hand and less
than 100 percent use of one,
‘leg. She spends much time
gardening and keeping house
for her husband, Charles, and
children Robin and Randy,
all members of Evangel
Assembly of God in Gastonia
where Rev. Rufus Johnson is
pastor.
Mrs. Conner says that it
was in the hospital room
following surgery when she
felt a miracle was in the mak-
ing and she began dreaming
of sharing her story through a
book. She left the hospital on
Dec. 22, 1979, able to take on-
ly one or two steps at a time
on her own.
Efforts to find a publisher
to tell her short story were
not successful until she hap-
pened upon a book written
and published by Rev. Oscar
Stalcup, also a Bessemer City
native and pastor of Fours-
quare Gospel Church in
Kings Mountain. She con-
tacted Stalcup and he laid
aside a second book that he is
working on to concentrate on
getting her story told.
The story covers Mrs. Con-
ner’s struggles and suffering
after learning of the tumor,
the long hours of waiting and
worrying, the surgery, and
her long hours of rehabilita-
tion, Shai ;
“From her faith in God,
coupled with her fight and
determination to live and
regain her health, she has
successfully gone through the
darkest valley of her life,”
