Last Thursday was old peoples day
out at Freedom.
The announcement called out all of
the old veterans of the cross in that
locality and the day was an ideal one
for such a meeting The house was
crowded by twelve o'clock and the
audience was principally made up Of the
Oldest men and women in the Freedom
neighborhood.
The morning service was conducted
by Rev. Wash st Clair. He made a
short earnest address and then the
meeting was turned over to the mem
bers. They took it in hand and each
told his Christian experience in plain
but touching language. The same
character of meeting was carried on in
the afternoon presided over by Dudley
Hayes.
Freedom church is one of the oldest
protestant societies in the county it's
first organization dating as far back as
1925. Then the country was very spaTce-
ly settled, but there seemed to be
enough families in the locality to organ
ize a church.
The first authentic record of the
organization was made in 1884 under the
authority of the Cumberland Presbyteri-
ans, but they evidently had a society
there ten years prior to this, They have
worshiped there succes Iively every year
since holding an annual meeting on the
second Sunday in August regularly.
From 1884 up to 1877, over seven humid
red names appeared enrolled on the
church book Mr.. Will Dowell an officer
in the church had tn old record there
last Thursday and the names of the old
or set who haYe lOIg since passed away
are familiar to many in the audience.
Some Of the names appearing on the list
are as follows: VIM Mccoy, Joseph ST,
Clair, Joel Jared, Little Berry Dowell,
Israel Jared, Warden Clemmons, Susan
Hall, Sarah Jared. and Clarissa Hall
These have been followed by their
children and children's children, until
today the church is strong and in a pros
porous state.
