held in the Old Court House, since de-
stroyed by fire, and the old frame church
building after an existence of twenty
years, was torn down to make room for
the new brick church, now standing. The
old times, with the old church, and its

of things seems to be springing up,

forward, to 1864, we have no record or
papers of any description. Two of the
members of this committee (Atkinson

that during the time covered by this
missing record we had A. NJ. Alexander,
John Stewart and H. z. Adams for Pre-
siding Elders, and the several preachers

as to the salaries paid during this inter
