Summerheld Church.-The centennial ser
vices which were begun at Summerfeld M. L.
church, Calverton, Baltimore county, Sunday,
Nov. Esd, were concluded on Sunday night last
with historical address by General John S. Berry.
The address was devoted mainly to review of
the history of Summerfeld church, and contained
many interesting incidents concerning the people
who have at one time another within the last
half century been connected with the church,
Among other things General Berry said: "When
the father of the speaker, with his family, remov-
ed from Baltimore city to their home near what
is now known as Calverton, there was no church
in the neighborhood. The place was then known
as the Five Mills. Those persons who were in
clined to attend divine worship went to Wesley
Methodist Episcopal chapel corner of Sharpand
Barre streets. This was in 1884. The year fol-
lowing Colonel Berry and a few friends built
Summerfed Chapel. The chapel became attach
ed to what was then called West Baltimore Station,
now known as Whatcoat.
"At the time the Berry family located in the
neighborhood the settlement was sparsey popua-
ted, and there was not single member of the
church among them. Colonel Berry organized a
Sunday school, with Thomas L. Berry as super
intendent. The school prospered, there were
many conversions, and the church grew. The
mission at first became part of Baltimore circuit
and afterwards attached to Summerield cir
cult. BY 1878 the mission had grown SO much
that it was constituted station. Rev. William
Rogers was the first regular pastor. After serv-
ing for three years, he was succeeded by Rev.
Luther B. Wilson. During his ministry Webster
chapel, a branch of Summerfeld chapel, was
erected by Mr.. VIM. II. Grape and presented to
the congregation free of expense. When Sum-
merfeld was made station the church edifce was
partly rebuilt at cost of about 81 900. During
Rev. Mr.. Wilson's ministry Sunday school room,
costing 81 500, was built.
"Gen. John S. Berry was appointed class leader
in 1858 by Rev. Alfred Griffith presiding elder
to succeed his father, Colonel Berry, whose health
had failed. During every year, from the begin
ming there has been revival, and many names
have been added to the rolls. At present there
are 100 members, and General Berry is still class
leader. Of the original members of Summerfed
but two, General Berry and his sister, Mrs. DR..
Turner, are now alive, and they and Mr.. John
Slack who has for nearly sixty years carried on
blacksmithing on the Calverton road and is known
far and wide among the older residents, are the
only persons yet remaining in the neighborhood
of those who were there fifty years ago."
A pleasant incident of tho serviaa was the re-
option into church membership of Mr.. John
Slack, the oldest resident of that section, who has
passed his eightieth year. All his family are
members of the church.
