and that it was only used for seven
or eight years, when it became en-
tirely too small, and was torn down
and the present structure was
erected before the war. She says
she remembers it clearly because in
the old building they held Sunday
school in little dug out place until
they finally got the building so they
could get upstairs. Afterwards when
1t was seen by Brother Merry that
the congregation was growing and
gaining some prominence he decedi-
ed to move closer in town and pur-
chased the piece of property on
which the present st. John A. M. q
Church is located and made the first
payment on it; it was found before
they went far with this property
that it was not large enough. The
property was bought from man by
the name of Sam Watkins When
it became known that the lot was not
of sufficient size, this Mr.. Sam Wat.
kins was liberal enough to return
the first payment and then Rev
Merry bargained for the present site
of the Spruce Street Baptist Church
from a widow woman, whose name
Sister Seay does not remember.
When asked how the financial con-
dition of the Spruce Street Church
was before the war, Sister Seay
states taht the church was not paid
for until after the war was closed
and that Brother Jennings was the
treasurer during the whole period.
Summing it all up, therefore, it be
pears that prior to and including
1865, onyl about three hundred Ne
gro Missionary Baptists were to be
found in and around Nashville, with
two churches, one which it is
claimed was not orthodox, existed
far back as 1847, adm another purely
orthodox and properly organized,
coming on the scene in 1853. It lie
no task, however to trace the or
ganization of the various churches
from these two paretn bodies and
see the untold good that has been
done; the enormous amount Of prop
erty purchased and the valuation Of
the same with the magnificent edi-
fees and structures now so promt-
nent in Nashville.
