Another site says he was an attorney at the department store in California.
Joseph Franklin Rutherford (1861-1942): Came from a large Calvinist family; formerly a small-town lawyer in Missouri; at least once appointed to serve as judge in a case; politically active in Democratic politics. Custodian of Pastor Russell’s last will and testament. Apparently dismissed from Bethel in early 1915, lived in Monrovia near Los Angeles and worked as a lawyer for a department store in Los Angeles. Forceful in disposition and persuasive. Debated Rev. John H. Troy at First Baptist Church in Glendale, California, April 21-24, 1915.
Anybody remember when it was his wife and son took up permanent residence in Monrovia? (It was Monrovia, wasn't it?)
And maybe he wasn't "dismissed." Maybe he was just being sent out to help in the field like the current Bethelites.
