OLD BETHEL CHURCH REUNION
Crowds Attend 10th Anniversary of
Old NJ. E. Church on Boulevard

Old VI. T.. Onurcn on boulevard
Smyrna Quartette Furnishes Music
The 10th anniversary of old Bethel
Methodist Episcopal Church was cele-
brated Sunday and it being a delight
ful day, one of the biggest crowds
ever seen at the church congregated.
The church yard was literally packed
with automobiles, friends and decend-
ents of families who worshiped at the
church being present from miles
around. Smyrna Dover, Cheswold,
Kenton and even Middletown being
largely represented. The services in
the morning started at 10 o'clock with
a testimony and praise service in
charge of Rev. T. ]. Given. Immed-
lately preceding the regular church
services, Mr.. Jefferson Cooper read
an interesting historical sketch of old
Bethel showing that in 1853 it was a
part of Smyrna Circuit, which at that
/ time extended from Smyrna to Ches-
wOld on the South and Smyrna to
Middletown on the North and as far
as the head of Sassafras on the West.
Among the original trustees of old
Bethel was Elihu jefferson, Ephraim
Garrison, James Parsons james Cloud
Jacob Williams, and Jacob Dickson
and others who have long since gone
to their eternal rest. Bethel Church
was the outgrowth of the old FarrOw
Meeting house, a frame structure that
stood on the opposite corner. Mrs.
John Rawley, of Smyrna is now the
only surviving member of this church.
In addition to Jefferson Cooper, brief
addresses were made by Dr. Watson
Cooper of near Newark, and Mr.. In.
Price of Smyrna. The latter as a boy
attended the Sunday School when his
father Moses Price, then living in the
country, attended old Bethel and he
told of an experience his older sister
had that brought smiles to the con-
gTegatiOn. The regular preaching SER

Z. Matthews Of Smyrna at one time
, pastor of Smyrna Circuit. The morn
ing discourse was given by Rev.Henry
