| Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Muzzy were pioneer
members of the SearSmont Methodist EpiS-
copal church and were its principal found
| ers. Mrs. MuZZy was woman of strong
mind and invlncibe courage. Having
dedicated all her capabilities and energies
to the Lord, she was Jealous disciple.
| For many years, in the early history of
the church, she was class-leader. Open
ing her doors to the faithful few, she would
pray earnestly for the upbuilding of Zion in
this place. Long years ago they were called
| home, but their mantle has fallen on their
chldren's children, and although they are
scattered from Maine to California they
celebrated sold Home Week" by sending
contributions to aid the church of their
ancestors. They have painted the outside
of the church and frescoed the audience
room, making it very attractive. We wish,
