Vass family.
Biographical notes:
Three generations of the Vass family served the Presbyterian Church, both in the United States and in the Congo, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Lachlan Cumming Vass I (1831-1896) ministered in the U.S. South between 1860 and 1896. His son and grandson, Lachlan Cumming Vass II (1872-1962) and Lachlan Cumming Vass III (1915-2010), both served as missionaries to the Congo for the Presbyterian Church in the U.S. from 1898 to 1910 and from 1940 to 1970, respectively. Vass III's wife, PCUS missionary Winifred Kellersberger (1917-2010), served with her husband, and later published several books and articles on the history of the Presbyterian Church in the Belgian Congo/Zaire.
