Here's a newspaper article from the Postville newspaper announcing the retirement of Rev. Childress in 1918:
Rev. Childress to Leave.
On Tuesday, October first, Rev. and Mrs. J.F. Childress and daughter, Miss Nell, will bid Postville friends farewell and leave for their new home in Charleston, Ill., where they have bought a home, and where the Rev. will retire from the ministry after many years of active service in the Master's vineyard. Rev. Childress has for the past eight years been in charge of the Postville Congregational church and during all of that time both he and his family have labored diligently and faithfully for the betterment of mankind, and will leave this community with the well wishes of all who know them. It is the wish of the HERALD that their lines may be cast in pleasant places and that these kindly christian people may find as appreciative friends in their new home as they leave in Postville.~Postville Herald, September 27, 1918
