HISTORY OF LADDONIA PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

tinued. UP to the time of his taking
charge of the church, in 1903, no
complete records nor roll of commu-
nicants could be found, and for five
years preceding his coming there
were none of any kind. No blame
/ is necessarily attached to anyone
for this delinquency, it is such as
might happen to any church having
frequent changes of pastors and
clerks of session, but Bro Beale
would not have it so and he set to
work to remedy the defect. He
caused a new book to be bought and
with the help of the older members
and using such material as could be
found, he wrote out the history of
the church from it's beginning to
1905, reconstructed the minutes Of
seasonal meetings and made out the
roll of members. The roll comprises
all who at one time or another have
been connected with this church.
Possibly some names are omitted,
and there may be errors in dates, but
an earnest effort has been made to
give them as accurately as possible.
