    TREADWELL, William (1831-1904) and Lurana Lucretia (1834-1917)

    William Treadwell, a carpenter from Palermo, New York, was first mentioned in the Review in 1852, the same year that he married Lurana Blinn. Available sources indicate that he was an active layperson, involved in giving Bible studies, occasional lay preaching, leading out in Tract and Missionary Society work in his district, and serving on New York Conference committees.1EGWLM 899.4

    “In the early days of the message,” William Treadwell's obituary related, “Brother and Sister White, Brother Andrews, and others were made welcome at his home.” The only extant mentions of William Treadwell in Ellen White's writings alluded to his part in the damaging “church trials” and internal conflicts in the Roosevelt church during the late 1850s.1EGWLM 900.1
