The son of noted Ohio clergyman Peter C. Prugh (1822-?), he was an influential theologian, scholar and orator who led the Grace Reformed Church of Pittsburgh for 36 years, transforming it into one of the largest Reformed congregations. IPS, 3¼" X 4", Pittsburgh, PA, 1910 February. Near fine. A small oval head-and-shoulders portrait of the bearded pastor on glossy book stock, handsomely inscribed below his likeness in black fountain pen: "To sh. A.E. Fostell / With the regards of / John H Prugh of / Grace Church Pittsburgh / On the Eve of / Lincolns Birth-Day -- Feb. 1910." (Al Emmett Fostell was apparently a retailer of some sort involved in Lincolniana, for in 1904 he published "A Rare and Valuable Collection of relics of Historical Interest in connection with our Martyr President Abraham Lincoln from the Cradle to the Grave Loaned by Bro. Al Emmett Fostell to Bridgeport Lodge, B.P.O. Elks.) From the collection of noted Lincoln scholar Arnold F. Gates (1914-93). Unusual and attractive.
