CHURCH HERE
CETSBEQUESI
King Estate Donation
Received By Local
Presbyterians

Brownsville PresbyterianS, who
have been planning to start building
operations on a new church, prob
ably this fall, have received be-
quest from the King estate in Kings
Vile of S11.5O0, the check for this
amount having been received here
by II. VI. SHELTON, an officer in the
church.
The beauest was made by the late
Mrs. Henrietta NJ. King, the daugh-
ter of Rev. Hiram Chamberlain, who
organized and built the first Pres
byterian church here about 10 years
ago.
Mrs. King spent the early years Of
her life in Brownsville. receiving
part Of her education here. Her
father was pastor of the Brownsville
church until his death in the early
7O's. Mrs. King moved away, but
always kept in touch with the
church here until her death over
year ago. Nothing was known OF the
bequest until Mrs. Kings death when
il was revealed that she had left
S11.500 to the church.
The original wooden structure
housing the first Presbyterian church
is no longer standing. but the con-
gregation has a building at the cor
ner of Ninth and Elizabeth Streets.
The church also owns two lots at
the corner of Ninth and Leyee
Streets bought last spring as site
for a new structure. In addition
to this the church owns other prop
erty. All except the new site VIII
be sold, and will go towards the
erection of a new edifice.
Plans for a new building are to
be submitted to the officers Of the
church soon, according TO Mr.. Skel-
ton, and construction will probably
start this fall.
