     Biographical Note 
 Floyd Orus Rupe was born in Menifee County, East Kentucky on August 12, 1912. Orus, as he was called, was a Presbyterian minister for 60 years. Rupe graduated from Ezel High School in Ezel, Ky. (1931?). He moved to Chicago where he attended the Moody Bible Institute (1933-1935), supporting himself by working as a bus boy at Montgomery Wards’. Additionally, he preached at the Pine Grove Methodist Church near Wellington, Ky., in the summer of 1935. Rupe then attended Sterling College (Sterling, Ks., 1935-1938) while also working as a pastor at the Hopewell United Presbyterian church (Hopewell, Ohio, Dec 1937-Sept 1938). He attended the Xenia College Seminary in Pittsburg, Penn. from 1938-1939.  Rupe became pastor of the United Presbyterian Church in Garnett, Kansas, in May of 1941; was ordained at The Kansas City Presbytery of the United Presbytery Church on June 5th of that year; and married Mary Patterson (1918-2000) on Dec. 10, 1941. They had three children (Orus Rupe Jr [1946-2004], Arthur Rupe, and Rev. Lucille Rupe Watt).  Rupe became pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Rushville, Ind. (1943-1949), and the United Presbyterian Church in East Palestine, Ohio (1949-1955). In 1968? Rupe entered the Clinical Pastoral Education Program at A.B.

(1969-1977), the Presbyterian Church in Berea (1977-1981), the Portage Presbyterian Church (1981-1983), Memorial Presbyterian Church in South Bend, Ind., and LaGrange Presbyterian Church (Ind.).
