Saint Paul
This window contains the following verses:
On the paper Paul is holding: Now is Christ risen from the dead. (1 Corinthians 15:20a)
The book in the bottom panel: The sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. (Ephesians 6:17b)
The bottom of the window: Quit you like men be strong. (1 Corinthians 16:13b)
This window was given in dedication to the memory of Elmer Alonzo Denton by his widow. The dates given on the window are 1869-1907, but another record says he died in 1903. He was a lawyer, with an office at 22 West State Street, and he lived at 14 West Seneca. Like many of the active citizens of the day, he was a Mason and a member of the local militia. He was a member of this church for 13 years, serving as trustee and Sunday School teacher. He sang tenor in the choir.
The memorial plaque reads:
