In 1913 a camp meeting with a tent tabernacle was held at "the E. H. Adair place on the county road sixteen miles south of Yuma."  "Revs. Mercer, Williamson, and Vanderpool arrived on the camp ground last Saturday."

"Our Pioneer Nazarenes" has a section on Asa Everett Sanner, "Upon graduation from McGee Holiness College, where he had attended with D.I. Vanderpool and G.B. Williamson, Sanner launched forth in the field of pioneer evangelism.  While laboring in a campaign at Bethel, a community twelve miles from Yuma, Colorado, Sanner heard about the Church of the Nazarene.  The workers and converts of the Bethel revival called C.B. Widmeyer, Nazarene district superintendent from Colorado Springs to the community church.  Without hesitation Brother Widmeyer organized the Bethel church into the Nazarene movement - a most wonderful decision."

Daniel Isom Vanderpool registered in Yuma County, born September 6, 1891 in Missouri, "minister of the gospel of the Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene, Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska", and was single.

In 1920 Mildred precinct, James W. 56, and Martha A. 62, both born in Missouri are farming.

James proved up two quarters in 29 and 32, 3S 46W in 1920, Marion two quarters in section 30 in 1921, and Daniel 280 acres in 19, 20 and 29, also in 3S 46W, in 1921.

Elvira proved up 160 acres in 3, 4S 46W in 1922.

D.I. Vanderpool was delinquent on taxes in 1923 for land in section 11, 4S 47W - so he must have purchased some near Elvira's claim.

In 1923 he was also the District Superintendent for the Nazarene Church,.

Daniel Vanderpool, grandson of General Superintendent Emeritus D. I. Vanderpool, donated some of his grandfather's memorabilia to Nazarene Archives last week. Nazarene Archivist Stan Ingersol received the items on behalf of the general church.

Included among the donated items were:
 
  • Numerous handwritten messages and speeches Vanderpool gave at missions and youth conventions
  • A three-ring notebook containing handwritten messages from Vanderpool’s ministry
  • The tan Stetson hat he wore during most of his travels
  • A book of helps for funerals with names of people whose funerals he conducted
  • Cassette recordings of his speeches at revivals, camp meetings, and pastors' retreats
  • Certificate presented at the 1960 General Assembly making him an honorary Kansas City, Missouri, citizen
Vanderpool served as general superintendent from 1949 to 1964. Prior to serving as general superintendent, he served as district superintendent on the Colorado-Wyoming District and the Northwest District. He also pastored churches in California, Washington, and on the Colorado-Wyoming District.

He passed away in 1988. His funeral was conducted in the Biltmore Church of the Nazarene, Phoenix, Arizona, where he is buried. Vanderpool and his wife, Edith Nelson, who passed away in March 1929, had three sons, Wilford and Crawford, who have passed away, and Ramon, who lives in Nampa, Idaho. They also had a daughter, Ramona McLean, who lives in Indianapolis, Indiana. Vanderpool later married Emmalyn Whittington.

Daniel has fond memories of his grandfather.

“Granddad traveled a lot when I was a boy, mostly on the train,” he said. “When he and grandmother would stop by for a visit or when we as a family went to visit them, I always remember his big smile. Norman Rockwell could have used him as a model for painting the picture of what a grandfather should look like.”

Daniel explained how D. I. Vanderpool got his name and how the name was passed down.

"Granddad named himself 'Daniel' so he could have three names like all the other preacher boys had in the Bible school he attended after being converted, sanctified, and called to the ministry," he said. "During one of the school breaks, he went home and while there told his father he wanted three names like all the other boys had at the school. His father asked him what he would like to be called, and without hesitation he said Daniel. At school he had been studying Daniel, and he thought that would be a good man to model his life after and so he would like to be named Daniel Isom Vanderpool. His father and mother went with him to the court house in the county where their farm was located and he officially added the name Daniel. Many years later people began calling him D. I. Vanderpool and the name stuck.

"When I was born, my father, Crawford, said he wanted to name me after his father. My mother (bless her heart) said, ‘That's fine, but don't you dare name him Isom.'"

Daniel Vanderpool is the executive pastor at the Olathe, Kansas, College Church of the Nazarene
