Jesse L. Fort was born in Warren
county, KY, May l. 1916. His father,
of German descent, was a farmer and
a STAKEHOLDER. The farm was situated
near the Mammoth cave, and the set
tlement at that time was a very scat
tered one indeed.
Until he was seventeen, young Fort
remained on the farm assisting his
father with the work. Schools were
very far apart and the elder Fort, hav-
ing lost an older son shortly after his
return from a distant school, refused
to send any of the remaining children
away for an education. In 1880, while
attending a Baptist revival, Jesse was
converted and later joined the church,
taking an active part. When seventeen
he was apprenticed to a tanner, for
whom he worked for three years. This
man was a very ardent follower of
John Wesley, and he succeeded in in
teresting the young helper in the work
of the Methodist church, which he
later joined and became a class leader
before removing to Illinois in 1886.
The Forts located near Monmouth. In
that vicinity for four years the young
man served as class leader, exhorter
and local preacher. under such Meth
odist leaders as William and Richard
Haney, w. D. NJ. Trotter and Peter
Cartwright, the latter serving as pre-
siding elder of the district in which
Fort labored. During this period the
young preacher obtained his first start
toward book education from the pub
lie schools of Sangamon county. In
August, 1910, when fairly launched up
on his life work, he married Miss
Martha McChesney. From that time
until he assumed a travelling connec-
ton in 1851 he maintained direct touch
with the church and it's work. One of
his most noteworthy tasks during that
period being his connection with the
building of the First Methodist church
at Petersburgh, Ill. Timbers for this
building had to be hauled overland
from Burlington, Ia, a distanaS of
about 100 miles. Cartwright made par
ticular mention of this structure in his
autobiography.
After having established a travelling
relation, in 1851 he was ordained deacon
at the conference which met that year
at Jacksonville, by Bishop Waugh. At
this time he was transferred to the
Missouri conference and later appoint
ed to the Bloomington circuit in Macon
county. After serving for one year on
this work he was appointed in sue
cessive years to the Ridgely. Fillmore,
Savannah and Rockport circuits.
Missouri was a very dangerous place
Tor Methodist ministers then, and the
northern preachers" as they were
termed, had to face even personal dan-
ger while carrying on their work.
Several times mobs drove them from
their appointments, and once while
serving on the Rockport circuit, which
then embraced nearly all of the Mis-
souri, towns along the Iowa line,
mob formed, the express purpose of
which was to do away with the preach
er Fort, who contrary to his fathers
early views. was opposed to slavery.
fortunately, the ruffians were forced to
abandon their search without finding
the intended victim.
In 1855 Bishop Simpson, at the Mis-
souri, conference, which met at st.

miles east of what is now Rockford.
Here young BurCh remained for four

school work was concerned. during
that time was confined to the common
country schools. Early I'm life ne had
become a christian and had Joined the
Methodist church and. while still max
ing his home nOminally with his par
ents at Rockford, had spent a year on
the Dubuque circuit i'm Iowa preach
ing under the direction of the presiding
elder
In 1858 his health causing him much
apprehension. he decided to go south
to see if it could not be benefited. Ac-
cordingly that fall ne went overland
to Texas, where ne remained for
eighteen months. In the spring of '55
he returned nOrthward to Kansas,
where he was employed by the church
authorities to organize a mission cir
cult north of a line running west from
St Joseph. After spending the sum
mer in this work he joined the Iowa
conference. which then included Ne
braska territory and was appointed to
the charge of the work at BrOwnviile.
After making one trip to BrownviIle
his appointment was changed to Ne
braska City. where he arrived in No
vember of 1853. At this place ne in
augurated the work of building Meth
Odist churches in the then practically
new territory of Nebraska. In 1856 the
first Methodist church in Nebraska
was built and dedicated under his di-
rection. And in this same building
year later was held the second meeting
of the Kansas Nebraska conference,
which had held its first session the
year before in Lawrence. At this con-
ference meeting Rev. Mr.. Burch and
Rev James Griffin of Kansas were or
dained deacons. the first ordinations
made by Methodist church authorities
in the state.
After two years of service at Ne
braska City he was appointed to take

next labOrs. There he served until
1860, when under conference orders. he
was returned to BrOwnville, his first
appointment. Frequent changes was
the rule in those days and a year later
he was appointed to the Pawnee City
charge where he served for two years
and was then returned to the Missouri
river towns. being located at Peru. At
this latter place, besides attending TO
his duties as pastor he served as the
financial agent for an association

Thirty-three years of active labor for
the upbuilding of the Methodist church
is the record made by Elder III. T.
Davis one OF the first resident pastors
in Lincoln and Il veteran presiding
elder. During his church labors Ne
braska has taken a prominent place in
the list of states. Lincoln has become
its capital city instead of an unpromis-
ing frontier hamlet, and the Methodists
of the city have recently dedicated one
of the finest churches in the state.
When Elder Davis arrived in Lin
coin in 1868. sixteen members of the
Methodist church met for worship i'm
small shack occupying the site on
which the building of the Lincoln
Transfer company now stands near
Tenth and Q streets. There was s400
mortgage on the structure and no par
sonage for the minister. At the end of
the first year the church was far too
small for the congregation. The mort
gage had been paid.
Under the direction of the pastor and
the trustees, the building was sold for
school purposes and a church costing
$1,000 was erected on the present site
of st. Paul's. Elder Davis stayed three
L, Oh oil fg,
term of service with a membership roll
of 2O2.
At this time the congregation had
given their building the name of the
First NJ. E. church, of Lincoln. In
1888, the name was changed to st.
Paurs.
Elder Davis was next chosen pre-
siding elder on the Lincoln district
and remained four years on this
charge. The Omaha district was his
next assignment. Next he was sent
to the Nebraska City circuit. After
he again took up his ministerial duties
and was assigned to congregations in
Beatrice and York
At the latter place Rev. Mr.. Davis
was pastor for three years and pre-
siding elder of the district one year.
In 1856 there were many calls from
the people of South and West Lincoln
for help in new churches. Grace NJ.
f. church was in a fiourishing condi-
ton and a new congregation was or
ganized at Sixteenth and A streets
under the name of Trinity NJ. f.
church.
Elder Davis was the first pastor. The
growth of the new church was rapid.
and i'm three years the membership
numbered 26O. Today it is one of the
strongest branches of the Methodist
organization in Lincoln.
Since that time Rev. Mr.. Davis has
continuously served as presiding elder
on the various districts in the state.
In church circles he is well and ia
vorably known and has a host OF
friends in all denominations.
Elder Davis is native of Indiana.
and attended college in Terre Haute.
In 1857 he was married. and eleven
years later moved to Nebraska. He
bravely grappled with all the obstacles
in the way of spiritual work in a new
country, increasing the membership
and arousing interest in church work.
Wherever he has been assigned. he has
usually remained the full time allowed
by the conference rules. and he is re-
garded as one Of the most ardent work
ers among the ministers of Lincoln and
the Nebraska conference.
