ADDRESS BY
MRS. STELLA KER AP PLEeATK.

The Applegate and Appleget de-
scendants made their annual pilgrimage
to Tennent Church, Monmouth
County, New Jersey, on Sunday and
it was well attended.
At the close of the church services
brief address was made by the
President of the Apologize Association
DR.. George F. Apologize, after which
he introduced Mrs. Stella Ker Apple
gate, direct descendant Of Walter
Ker, the original founder Of Old Ten
nent Church, who addressed the meet
ing as follows:
Walter Ker was born in Scotland
in 1856. In 1886, when about twenty
nine years of age, he was deprived OF
his property and sent to this coun-
try under an order OF perpetual
Punishment, upon the accession
of King James IL, because OF his
faithful and conscientious adherence
to God as professed by the Church
of Scotland. He settled in Monmouth
County, near Freehold. now known
as Tennent, and is known as the
Father" of Old Tennent Church,
which was organized about 1892. 1t
was the first church in New Jersey
on the west side of the Raritan Riv-
or, which was settled with q gospel
ministry. Walter Ker was one of
the original promoters of the Old
Tennent Church, and one of its
earliest elders, serving it with long
faithfulness and self-sacrifice. He i
said to have left his harvest field
and went to Neshaminy to persuade
John Tennent to go home with him
and preach in the church. Though
he met with refusal at first, he
ultimately succeeded. Tradition tell
us that ION his return, he found
that his neighbors had cut his grain
and stacked it, A very general loss
of the crop followed through some
accident after honsing 1t. Walter
Ker's escaped, and furnished seed to
those who had SO kindly reaped his
field He died in 174S In the 92nd
year of his ags. His gravestone may
be seen on q wooded and billy point
of ground about half mile east of
the Tennent Church. 1t bears this
inscription:
