Frank Weston Sandford (October 2, 1862 – March 4, 1948) was the founder and leader of an apocalyptic Christian sect, informally called "Shiloh" and eventually known officially as "The Kingdom." Sandford was early attracted to premillennialism, the Higher Life movement, the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, and divine healing; and in the 1890s, he created a communal society in coastal Maine whose members "lived on faith" rather than being gainfully employed. Considered by former members and many neighbors to be a crank and an autocrat who insisted on unquestioning loyalty, Sandford—who had identified himself with the biblical Elijah and David—was convicted of manslaughter in 1911 and served seven years in a federal penitentiary. His absence retarded the growth of his small sect; but it survived, in attenuated form, into the 21st century.
Early life and education
Sandford was born in Bowdoinham, Maine, the tenth child of a farming family. As a young man Frank was a natural leader. An early companion recalled that he was always the one who "drove the horse and steered the boat"; if they played ball, "he was always a captain." His father died when Frank was fourteen, and by sixteen he was teaching school during an era in which physical prowess was often necessary to establish classroom discipline.
Frank Sandford was a “faith healer” and destructive cult leader in Maine who led the “Holy Ghost Society” commune in Shiloh, just outside of Durham. Sandford was fundamental to the formation of modern Pentecostalism; when Pentecostal founder Charles Fox Parham was making plans to start his own Bethel commune in Topeka, Kansas, Parham spent time in Sandford’s commune and in John Alexander Dowie’s Christian Catholic Apostolic Church commune in Zion Illinois. Like Dowie, Sandford convinced his followers that he was the return of Elijah the Prophet from the Old Testament, and claimed that he was given this “mantle” after an “angel” came to visit him.

Tongues Before Parham: The Shilohites

Heretical sects and even cults were claiming to have received the gift.

Frank Sandford was a “faith healer” and destructive cult leader in Maine who led the “Holy Ghost Society” commune in Shiloh, just outside of Durham. Sandford was fundamental to the formation of modern Pentecostalism; when Pentecostal founder Charles Fox Parham was making plans to start his own Bethel commune in Topeka, Kansas, Parham spent time in Sandford’s commune and in John Alexander Dowie’s Christian Catholic Apostolic Church commune in Zion Illinois. Like Dowie, Sandford convinced his followers that he was the return of Elijah the Prophet from the Old Testament, and claimed that he was given this “mantle” after an “angel” came to visit him.
Sandford grew membership in his cult of personality by claiming to heal the sick, and news of his faith healing power spread throughout multiple states. At the height of his fame, Sandford had over six hundred residents living inside the commune, and many others who believed his Elijah claim. When people started getting sick or dying in his commune, however, membership quickly diminished. To avoid a complete exodus, Sandford began claiming that God had instructed him to take his faithful to “spread the gospel to the world”, and transitioned his commune to two boats. It would be very difficult to leave his cult when surrounded by water.
The tragedy that followed landed Sandford in a position of hard labor in an Atlanta, Georgia federal prison, convicted of manslaughter. One boat was destroyed, and the other was not properly equipped. Conditions on the boats were inhumane, and many converts became very sick and died. Most of them starved, though Sandford himself ate like a king with a larger portion of rations.
Yet both Frank Sandford and John Alexander Dowie, "Elijah prophets", were the prototype for William Branham's stage persona during the Post WWII Healing Revivals.

Frank Weston Sandford (October 2, 1862 – March 4, 1948) was the founder and leader of an apocalyptic Christian sect, informally called "Shiloh" and eventually known officially as "The Kingdom." Sandford was early attracted to premillennialism, the Higher Life movement, the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, and divine healing; and in the 1890s, he created a communal society in coastal Maine whose members "lived on faith" rather than being gainfully employed. Considered by former members and many neighbors to be a crank and an autocrat who insisted on unquestioning loyalty, Sandford—who had identified himself with the biblical Elijah and David—was convicted of manslaughter in 1911 and served seven years in a federal penitentiary. His absence retarded the growth of his small sect; but it survived, in attenuated form, into the 21st century.
Early life and education
Sandford was born in Bowdoinham, Maine, the tenth child of a farming family. As a young man Frank was a natural leader. An early companion recalled that he was always the one who "drove the horse and steered the boat"; if they played ball, "he was always a captain." His father died when Frank was fourteen, and by sixteen he was teaching school during an era in which physical prowess was often necessary to establish classroom discipline.
FrankSandford...Around the turn of the 20th century, however, there were facilities there housing hundreds of followers of Frank Sandford, a Bowdoinham-born farm boy turned preacher, self-proclaimed prophet and, eventually, convicted criminal.
Today is Wednesday. Temperatures will be in the low to high 20s from north to south, with sunny skies across the state. See what the weather for the rest of the day will be here ... 10 storm ... FrankSandford represented himself at trial ... In other Maine news.
JohnSandford... Sandford is 79 and cranks out about three excellent crime novels on an annual basis ... a WHAT and the daughter of Sandford’s biggest hero, Lucas Davenport. Lettie is frankly amazing.
