This quotation is from a woman named Mother Walker, with the following introduction from the writer... "Inside the domicile, an air of neatness prevailed, and soon Mrs. Lee prepared a very palatable meal, while Mother Walker, in gentle accent of quaint Scotch dialect, told of their advent into the county." "Weel, noo, aboot t' people that's here, it's ilka this awae. At t'east end o' t' lake there's William Dean, an' John Hare's families, who came in 1872; then farther till t' west is William J.

Churches Established in Mankato Between 1852-1900 Back to Main Street Bethel Baptist Church Taken from a passage by Sharon Swenson Bethlehem Lutheran Church Le Sueur Lutheran Church, Trinity Norwegian Lutheran /Evangelical Church, and Our Saviors Norwegian Lutheran Church of Mankato merged to form Bethlehem Lutheran Church in 1867. In 1924, the first church was dedicated at the corner of Liberty and Second St. As Bethlehem grew, a new sanctuary was built next to the old one. The sanctuary was built entirely of Mankato stone and an artist, Cyrus M. Running, was hired to paint a total of 58 biblical characters on the inner walls. The old church burned down in April of 1978, but the congregation rallied and built a new "Heritage" room, Youth room, and offices for Lutheran Social Services (which rents part of the facility) in its place. Bethlehem places a special emphasis on music and has four choirs which lead the congregation and perform special music for festivals and cantatas. Taken from a passage by Patricia L. Amlie

History of St. George United Church Early History Methodism was first on the scene in 1831 followed by Presbyterianism the next year and finally in 1925 Union was achieved and the St. George United Church has been active ever since. In those very early days when Methodism held sway, residents settlers if you will around the Village of St. George were eager for religious experience and spiritual guidance. So it was that in 1831, a circuit rider rode through bush country along a trail only a horse could follow, called on a few settlers, asked them to meet for a church service at Tykerts Schoolhouse, about a mile northeast of St. George, and the first Methodist services commenced in the district. A frame church was erected at the site of what is now the United Church Cemetery in about 1840. In 1867 with Rev. James Harris as pastor, the first organ was placed in the church. In 1869 the foundation stone of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, on Main Street, was laid and 10 years later came dedication of a new stone and white brick church. The circuit rider mentioned earlier was Rev. G. Ferguson and his field of labour extended into the County of Waterloo. The St. George Circuit included St. George, Sheffield, Branchton, Tranquliity, Germans, Steel's, West's, and Harrisburg. Between 1867 and 1925, revival meetings and Camp meetings characterized early Canadian Methodism and, as far as the church itself was concerned, it seated 400, the men and women sitting on opposite sides of the sanctuary. Following Rev. James Harris there were a number of preachers with some conducting Union Evangelistic services around 1900.

Taos History part VII... Often the setting for big dinners, box suppers, meetings and various community entertainments, the church served as a hospital during the World War I influenza epidemic. Among charter members of the Presbyterian Ladies Aid, now known as the Mary Pyle Guild, are Mrs. Susan Brooks, Mrs. Della McBride and Mrs. H. R. Leatherman, who raised money to cover church expenses including stove wood. Ice cream socials and pie sales were among the sources of revenue. When they realized $20 from these benefits they thought it was wonderful. In 1918 at the congregation meeting of the Presbyterian Church at the Pyle Memorial Mission Building, the following narrative was presented by Rev. J. J. Vigil, pastor. A man by the name of McCauley was minister in 1918. He seemed more interested in an invention and getting a patent for it than he did in the ministry. He had built some kind of an automatic gate opener for vehicles which eliminated manually opening the gate. It consisted of a pit, a ramp over the pit, and double gates. One could drive up on the ramp and the gates would close. He had a full-scale model that he was showing around. McCauley left Taos and became the ministry in Sunshine Valley near the New Mexico-Colorado line where it was rumored that he ran off with somebody else's wife. Continued...

March Newsletter JUST WAR As events in the world continue to move us closer to war with Iraq, there has been a lot of discussion about this potential war. Clearly the world is not all of one mind on the necessity of this particular war, and even among Christians there is great debate. Throughout its history, the Christian church has wrestled with issues of war, and how to respond to war when it arises. In light of our present situation, this month I want to share with you some of the historical Christian perspectives so that we might think seriously as Christians about what we find ourselves involved in. Within Christianity there are different perspectives or “theories” pertaining to war. Christians read the Bible and find various Scriptures which paint an often confusing picture. Here is just a sampling of some Scripture references: You shall not kill (Exodus 20:13) Love your neighbor as yourself (Lev. 19:18 and then by Jesus as the “second great commandment” in Matt. 22:39, Mark 12:31) Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matt. 5:44) Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace

First Presbyterian Church 608 Nebraska Street Sioux City, IA 51101 Email: sc1pres@willinet.net History of Presbyterian Women The first record of a women's organization at First Presbyterian Church was in 1903, calling themselves "Ladies Aid Society", with Mrs. W.P. Manley as President. The name was changed several times. In 1938 it became "Women's Organization", in 1954 "Women's Association" and after reorganization it was changed to "United Presbyterian Women" in 1961. In 1988 after the Northern and Southern Presbyterian Churches joined, the organization changed its name to Presbyterian Women. The group divided itself into "Circles" with each having its own Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer. The circles were named after the wives of past pastors wives. The names were chosen going back to 1879, starting with Jenny Avery. Then in chronological order by pastorates, the names were Anna Grandy, Martha Knox, Harriet Jenkins, Mary McClintock, Harriet McFadden, May Hamilton, Ruth Rippey, Emily Stimson, Bertha Lilley and Jane Skinner. The Purpose of Presbyterian Women is to: "By God in Jesus Christ, commit ourselves, to nurture our faith through prayer and study, to support the mission of the church worldwide, to work for justice and peace and to build an inclusive, caring community."

First Presbyterian Church 608 Nebraska Street Sioux City, IA 51101 Email: sc1pres@willinet.net History of First Presbyterian Church The early history of the church is closely related to that of our city, which was platted in 1854 and 1855. Iowa had become a state only eight years before this, since her statehood was delayed more than a decade because of a boundary dispute with Missouri. Dr. John K. Cook, having a government contract to survey northwest Iowa, first platted an area near the mouth of the Floyd River, naming it Floyd City. This is now the stockyards area. He was assisted by a young real estate from Des Moines, man named Fred M. Hubbell, who was only 17 years old and who recorded some of Dr. Cooles surveys. Being a river enthusiast, he listed the arrivals and departures of many river steamers in 1856. The river steamer, Omaha, was the first to be consigned from St. Louis to Sioux City, with a cargo mostly of lumber valued at $70,000. This was unloaded on June 2, 1856. A passenger on this freighter was Rev. Charles 0. Martin, affectionately called "Father Martin", from St. Louis. He was a man determined that if a community were to develop here the church should be one of the first institutions. Rev. Martin promptly visited with Presbyterians and started preaching in mid-July. The Rev. T. M. Chestnut came overland by stage coach from Illinois, a 15 day ride, arriving in September 1856. He joined with Rev, Martin to establish a church here. Services were held in an attic at 222 Pearl Street, and in the Government Land Office, also on Pearl Street. Incidentally, this street was the principal thoroughfare of the city, extending to the river wharves, where the steamers docked.

Chapter 1 OUR CHURCH GETS OFF TO A SLOW START In 1891 there were finally enough families to form a church, including a core group of nineteen members of First Presbyterian Church. One of these was Frank Caldwell, who had come to Chattanooga and joined the First Presbyterian church in the 1870's before Dr T H McCallie, then in poor health, resigned as pastor and became chairman of the presbytery home missions board. These two men met to discuss the possibility of planting a church on the mountain and agreed to work on it. Frank Caldwell did the door to door work with mountain families and Dr McCallie, in May of 1892, moved that the mission field of Lookout Mountain be united with the St. Elmo Presbyterian Church, a mission church. Rev. Paul F. Brown was called to take charge of both. He began preaching in St Elmo in the mornings and on the mountain every Sunday afternoon. Then on Sunday, October 16, 1892 at 3 PM, the Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church was organized with 26 charter members, following ten days of evangelistic meetings conducted by Rev J. E. Triplett of Knoxville Presbytery. Rev J. W. Bachman of First Presbyterian Church preached the sermon using the Scripture text I Timothy 3:15 " ... the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." Elders and deacons were elected and Rev. Brown continued as pastor and moderator of the session. Morris Temple, son of Captain Temple, was the only charter member with direct descendants still members in 1992. His daughter May Temple Montague, now Mrs. Dick Houck, her son Dwight Montague and his daughters Rebecca and Emily are all active members. This meeting was held in a large wooden pavilion beside Natural Bridge.

Comments/Suggestions Through the years, the church secured additional property and now owns approximately fourteen acres. The cemetery behind the church dates from at least 1800. The church is no longer "four miles" from Fayetteville; it is within the city limits. The center of population of Cumberland County is now west of the church, so MacPherson is near the middle of expanding growth. Its days of greater service to the kingdom surely lie in its future.

75. Noto-Wynkoop Funeral Home The ladies Aid society of the main street MethodistEpiscopal Church (Phillipsburg),holding The First Presbyterian School had its celebration in the afternoon http://www.noto-wynkoop.com/Pages/Church/church.html

The History of our Location The Noto-Wynkoop Funeral Home, formerly the Joseph A. Noto Funeral Home, located at 289 South Main St., Warren County, Phillipsburg, New Jersey, was officially established in 1965 by Joseph A. Noto, Sr. On August 1, 1991, the funeral home was purchased by Timothy E. Wynkoop from Mr. Noto, and the name was changed to Noto-Wynkoop Funeral Home. The funeral home is proud to have been of continued service to the people of the Phillipsburg-Easton communities for nearly 35 years. Historically, the funeral home structure itself dates back to 1868 when it was erected as the parsonage for the First Methodist-Episcopal Church. However, the congregation first formed in 1826 in Phillipsburg and was known as the First Methodist "Class". That early congregation met in an old stone house on the southwest corner of Main Street at the old Central Railroad bridge. Then, in 1823, the gathering went to Easton, Pennsylvania, to mix with that assemblage. The Phillipsburg group later returned to Phillipsburg in 1854-55 to prepare the way for the creation of their own house of worship The congregation then met in the first Sitgreaves Elementary School Building when that brick structure was completed in 1853 on the northwest corner of Brainard Street at Hudson Street. They remained there until May 20, 1855 when the "First Methodist-Episcopal Church of Phillipsburg, New Jersey" was officially organized. The cornerstone of their new church, located at 438 (now 293) South Main Street, adjacent to the parsonage, was laid on August 13, 1855.

Historical Notes In 1909, the Memphis City limits were at McLean Blvd. There were no Presbyterian Churches between Idlewild Presbyterian Church at Union and McLean and Germantown. Three Presbyterian families met in the home of Judge S. A. Wilkinson to organize a church. Permission was given to use a basement room at Messick School. Second Presbyterian Church, which was then located downtown at Hernando and Pontotoc, furnished chairs and an old foot powered organ. On January 30, 1910 a commission headed by the Reverend A. B. Curry, pastor of Second Presbyterian Church, granted a petition of 21 people to establish a new church in the Buntyn area. It was named "The Buntyn Presbyterian Church, U. S." Seven days later the women of the church banded together as the Ladies Aid Society in order to help raise money to purchase a lot for a house of worship. The April 24, 1911 Application for Charter was drawn up and signed by: Judge Samuel A Wilkinson, James K Rutland, John E. Hay, Lorenzo S Lake, Harry P Davis, Rollin V Wilson and John L Wellford, Sr.

Matthew 16:18 On July 26, 1856, only 20 years after Texas won its independence, the second Presbyterian church in Dallas County was organized at Lancaster. This historic old church had its beginning in the crude work shop of a cabinet maker. Nine early pioneers and the Rev. Michael Dickson of Milford signed the first charter establishing the church. The first place of worship was a small school house where regular services were held monthly for 18 years. After the Civil War, the Ladies Aid Society raised money for a permanent church site and donated $100 to launch the building fund. On January 13, 1884, the First Presbyterian Church building was completed at a cost of $2,000 and was dedicated. This building served until 1910 when it was torn down to make way for the present building. The first Sunday School began in 1884. From its nine member beginning, the new Presbyterian Church grew slowly - to 30 members by 1868, down to 12 by 1878, up to 70 by 1888, and down to 60 by 1890.
