of whom soon removed to Knox
VILE. Prof. Crawford departed this
life on the 3rd of February, 1891,
and neither of these vacancies was
ever afterward filed.
The loss of Prof. Lamar from the
Committee was felt very keenly by
the surviving members as well as
tn Church, for he was one of the
noblest of men; liberal with his
means with experience of a ripe
age and varied scenes through
which he had passed, wise in his
counsels, modest and retiring in
his demeanOr, he had long been re-
garded as a father in the Synod,
the Presbytery, and in the several
churches in East Tennessee, so his
sickness and death was an irrepdra-
bic loss to the Committee, the
church and the community.
On May Goth 1880, the contract
for the erection of the building was
made with Mr.. David Jones, who
associated with him j. d. Moore,
one of the carpenters Of our town,
and thus the brick work was done
by Mr.. David Jones while the
carpenter part was done by Mr.. j..
u. Moore.

Dirt was first broken for thu

; corner stone was laid July 9tl
1890, after which the building pro
ceeded slowly until its completion
he funds coming to the COMMITTEE,
, slowly often rendered the situation
very embarrassing, but in the enc
it was blessing, for it prevented ,
rapid progress and thus saved /,
number of mistakes that woulC
otherwise have been made by the
+. Committee, in haste to get intt
the new editice.
After completion, the Synod o
, Tennessee held it annual session
! in October 1892. AT the close of tn,
3 Synod, the building was dedicated
D Rev. w. j. Trimble, of Chattanooga
preaching the dedicatory sermon.
, One gratifying feature has beef
= the entire and complete unanimit,
between the members of the Com
g mittee, and as complete acquie
g scence and harmony on the par
J, of the congregation. If there ha
=, been any discord or a syllable q
complaint on the part of any one
: from beginning to end, it has falle'
t to reach the ears of the Committee
and the members of the congrega
q ton have We'd with each other Il
to who could most and best assis
3 the Committee in it's work.
After the death of Prof. CrawfOr
: who was most Jealous membe
q of the Committee, it was deeme,
proper to remember him in som
l. way, and accordingly Miss Agne
u B. Clemens cheertuliy took charg
if OF the work of raising a fund TO
G the purpose of placing memoria
=, in the building 10 his dame, at tn
hands of his many friends an
u admirers. The result was that sh
n raised 1928 "A, with which the puI
a pit furniture was secured and place
d in position. A fitting memorial t
one of the noblest and best of mer
whose anxiety and zeal for tn
I welfare of the church was secOn
n to no one, and whose counsels an
d wisdom have been sadly missed b.
4 the surviving members of the Com
mittee.
