So far as the public and the county

between Furgeson and his wlTe began
last Thursday. Furgeson had been
haunting the office of the clerk OF
the county court and the sheriff $
office for many days, and Thursday
he saw his wife enter the court house
with their 16-year-old daughter, Ce-
celia, and Frank, the first name or
the Bridegroom, if he and Cecilia and
the mother have their way. Look
ing daggers at each other tthe trite

of the county court and walked up
to Henry Luther.
"My daughter is but l6 years Of
age but | give my consent to her
marriage to this gentleman.
"My daughter is but years of
age and | won't allow her to marry
{ this gentleman" spoke up the father.
! Arguments for and against follow
ed with the result that the weeping
bride-to-be, the angry bridegruom-to-
be and father and mother in hostile
silence left the court house.
Mrs. Furgeson went straight to the
office of Attorney Ewing and wanted

A fter discussion of the question
| Mrs Furgeson decided that she want

of non-support and cruelty.

Lovelock tribune. (Lovelock, Nev.) 1898-1912, 1909-08-06
New Methodist Church Is
Rapidly Nearing Completion
Interesting History Of the LopeIock Church
Leading ub to The Construction Of
the New Church Building

Rev. G. B. Hinkl one year, then Rev.
nj. V. Briggs one or two years. Rev.
Thomas II. Nichols seems to have had
charge for two years. Nothing of
special interest seems to have occurr I'd
during these latter years. In 1894 Rev
Geo. G. King, now superintendent of
the Nevada Mission, served the greater
part of one year. During this year re-
vival meetings were held and some peo-
Iple converted, who joined the church
on probation, but were never received
into the church in full conversion.
This was Rev. Kings second charge.
At that time he was young single
man with but little experience in the
ministry. He now likes to relate his
experience gained at Lovelock.
After Rev. King there is again va,
eancy in the records for one year, then
Rev. A. d. Weltz, Free Methodist
preacher, has charge for year. 1t is
said of Mr.. Weltz that he was a splen-
did hay hand. Rev. Geo. Wilcox serv.
ed the year following Rev. Weltz.
The longest pastorate was that of w.
N. Bott, who served Lovelock for four
years. Then Rev j. II. Rosen served
a year, followed by Rev. d. s. Wigs
tead, whose friendship is still enjoyed
by the greater portion of Loovelock
people. His pastorate extended over
three years of very successful labor.
Jos. Johns was licensed to preach in the
early days of Methodism in Unionville,
and served Lovelock for two years
following Rev. Wigstead. After Rev.
Johns Rev, Rufus j. Clark came to
Lovelock seeking health and after one
year he went on his way, still in the
pursuit of health.
The present occupant of the pastor
ate of Lovelock arrived in September
of last year and was accorded cordial
welcome

cement sidewalk has been constructed,
which incloses the two hundred and
fifty feet of street line Of the church
property. This walk is four feet wide
and put in Of the best material and
workmanship obtainable.
When the church is completed it will
ne a building creditable to any town
the size Of Lovelock, valued at five
thousand dollars. In addition to the
church the parsonage is residence of
which any town can be proud. With
the church, the parsonage, barn and
Ia cottage the church at Lovelock has
a property which can be valued at
like seven thousand dollars.
The cooperation and Encouragement of
all people of Lovelock and vicinity are
earnestly desired, that the work SO
favorably begun may be successfully
consummated. Do not wait to be asked
to help but do as others have already
done-come and offer your aid. Money
or labor invested in church property is
invested where it will do the greatest
amount of good and bring the most
lasting returns upon said investment.
The present board of trustees con-
sists of ]. r. Hunter, president; Mrs.
M. A. Faltz, secretary and treasurer,
and L. G. Campbell. The board of
trustees and Mrs. W. G. Pitt, who is
also president of the Ladies Aid So
ciety, with the pastor constitute the
building committee, Through all of
the years past ths Ladies AID have
been the financial backing of tho
church at Lovelock, and at this time
they are doing faithful service. All
ladies of the town are welcome to
part in this good work.

whose memory extends back many
years over Nevada history. He loves
to tell Of the early struggles of the
church and how he, as presiding elder,
made his quarterly meetings riding
over the deserts of Nevada on a mule,
enduring all the privations of front er
life.
Rev G. Ii. Lahaty seems to have fol
lowed Rev. Mines as presiding elder
Tor a short. time and then DR.. Van
Deyanter, known all over Nevada
Mission for his strong preaching, serv
IL years.
Methodist preaching began in Neva,
da in the days when there were two
preachers to a circuit; usually a man
of experience in the ministry and a
young man whom the older man was
breaking in, and SO it was in the be
circuit, afterwards the Unionville
circuit and later Lovelock
Following Rev. Sipes, above mention
ed, Rev. l.. Ewing served the charge
three years. The Rev. Colin Ander-
son was the senior preacher, with
Thomas S. Wren, a local preacher, as
the junior. Rev Anderson seems not
TO have stayed long, for the name of
Rev. Wren appears as the pastor in
charge in short time. Following Rev.
Thos. 5. Wren Rev. w. X. Masters
served one year. Then J. w. Pende-
ton one year. From 1878 to 1887 little
can lie determined by the records. 1t
seems that church interests must have
declined. However, in 1887, under the
pastorate of kev. A. J. Palglase, the
church took on new life and as above
indicated, the church building began.
Few. Palglase served very acceptably
for three years. He was followed by

There are always two circumstances
that enter largely into the construction
CT a new church: The first IS the feel
ing in community, that more atten
ton should be given to the develop.
ment of the moral side of the lite ot
that community; that more potent IN
fuence, tending to direct the people,
toward. better way of living is
needed. The second is the man; the
leader, who can realize that situation
and put it on practical basis. Moth
ing eserts. stropeec influence tol

which many have contributed. Thus

THIRD CHURCH BUIlDlN6 IN the NEVADA
MISSION ONCE USED As A SCHOOL HOUSE
MANY NOW PROMINENT NEvADANS Rf-
cfIvtD THEIR EARLY TRAINING HERE

The deed for the land upon which
Lovelock church was built was ac.
quired in 1887 by Rev A. J. Polglass,
pastor of the church at that time. The
following year the church was built
from material brought from Washoe
CITY. In 1865 at Washoe City there
was erected the third church building
built in the Nevada Mission. For that
day it was great achievement. The
house was large and commodious and
well built, having arched windows.
For want of school building this
church was used for some time as
school house as well as for church pur-
poses. Some of the present citizens of
this church at Wpshoe City. When
Washoe City went down, as many Ne
vada mining towns have gone, the
church was no longer needed there and
arrangements were maze to move it to
Lovelock. The building was torn down,
the lumber and windows brought to
Lovelock and the church rebuilt as it
now stands.
In the same year that the church was
begun there was raised $500 toward
building n parsonage and barn A small
box house was built, and MS preachers
came with families an additional room
would be added till it is said that ths
Methodist parsonage at Lovelock pre-.
sented a peculiar and striking appear.
ance However, in 1872, during the
pastorate of Rev d. =. Wigstsad, the
present parsonage was built and fur
nished at cost of 81 400. Lovelock =
present parsonage is as good as any IN
the Nevada Mission.
In 1892, through the untiring interest
of Mrs. Theis, the bell was purchased
for the church, and ior seventeen years
it has called people to worship

when the two circumstances outlined
ABOVE are present, the erection OF a
Aew church generally follows.
To the generosity of the citizens OF
Loyelock, who seeing the need OF more
potent influences for good in this com
munity, haYe contributed OF theil
lindefatigable efforts of the present
pastor and his executive ability. the
new church building has been made

efforts of the pastor, and the gene
