The Erection Of the
Second IA. e. Church
The ashes had barely cooled
from the burning of the old church
before the board of trustees, viz:
James u. Jester, d. M. Donovan,
John Prettyman, Erlis F. Whit
ney, III. w. Jester, d. Henry Reed
and ]. A Ellegood, met in the
White Hall, on April 16, 1916, and
passed resolution: That a new
church should be erected at once,
and a committee appointed to go
ahead with the work of building.
| After many delays, in both Sc
lecting and securing a site for the
new church two lots were offered
by Mrs Samuel E. Reed, situated
at the corner. of Main Street and
Washington Avenue, which were
selected and the trustees prepared
to build. Many things intervened
to delay the building of the church
until year had passed, and little
progress had been made.
The Wilmington Conference at
it's session in the year 1917 sent to
Glendale Circuit Rev. Thomas S.
Barrett, who saw at once what
was needed. He not only worked
himself, but had the tact of get
ting other people to work and the
outcome was that on July "a,
1917, a contract was given to w.
H. Workman, the lowest bidder,
to build a church, using cement
blocks, size to be: Main audience
room 40 by 50', Sunday School
room 18' by 32', choir loft ~ by
16', with a vestibule s feet by s
feet, with steeple. Things began
to move, people had become en-
Unused, and from the time of the
actual building had commenced
the board of trustees were able to
present to the people of Ellendale
a magnificent church, first class
in every respect, finished and paid
for in less than a year. The cost
was over $15,000.00. The memoir
| ial windows were as fine as can be
bought, the pews and pulpit fur
niture were up-to-date in every
respect, the Sunday School room
was furnished in the latest style,
and the steam heating plant, and
electric light plant were the equal
of many larger churches. Who did
all this? The people of town of
scarcely two hundred inhabitants,
and by their friends of nearby
towns, a pastor full of love and
zeal, and a faithful board of trus-
tees who never faltered. The
steam heating plant of the church
was the gift of Erlis F. Whitney
at cost of $1,000, less discount
about $4,000.
The dedication services occur
red on November "a, 1918. d. John
Krantz of Patterson, N. j., preach
ed both night and morning and
had charge of the finances, and
well he performed his work. At
the close of the night service, DR..
Krantz said it was the greatest
giving of money he ever saw for
church purposes from a cOngrega-
ton so small, and he doubted it
would be ever equaled in the fu-
ture. A church and it's furnish
ings cost over $15,000.00 built and
paid for within year.
During the months to follow,
classes were organized. Glass No.
was one of these classes, organ
lied in 1919, with a few members.
The membership has grown.

of the members, the Glass made

Glendale Methodist Church
Anniversary Sunday
November 13, 1860
The Building of the Two
Methodist Episcopal Churches
Glendale was one of those
towns which came into existence
with the extension of the juno
tion and Breakwater Railroad
from Milford to Georgetown, about
the year 1866.
The establishing of new town
brought people from many Sec
tions who bought lots, opened
stores and in short time Ellen
dale was known as a thriving vii
lage.
Among the new settlers were
the Shorts, testers, Heavelows
and Macklins, a little later the
Reeds. These people were mostly
Methodists. The building of a
Methodist Episcopal Church was
talked of among the new settlers
but this was all, as no effort was
made to collect funds to erect it.
New Market M. E. Church is
situated about a mile east of FL
lendale. To this the early settlers
had already joined This church
had wonderful record for doing
good, and the people of Ellendale
were loath to ever their connec-
tions with this church, and the
building of a new one at Ellen
dale was delayed for a long time
AS far back as the year 1867 Will
liam McCaulley, who owned the
land at that time, donated two lots
for the building of a Methodist
Episcopal Church and parsonage
in Glendale, and Alfred Short sur
veyed and plotted them, but moth
ing was done in regard to the gift
until the year 1873, when a board
of trustees was appointed or
elected, and the two lots above
mentioned were conveyed to them
and the deed is on record at
Georgetown, Delaware. The names
of these trustees, viz: William
Short, Alfred Heavelow, James M
Jester, Bevans Morris and Alfred
Short. These faithful men have
long ago gone to their reward.
From the year 1873 on up to the
year 1882 nothing was done to-
ward building a church in Ellen
dale, but in the spring of 1882, by
the gift of lumber and some cash,
a church was erected of wood, size
26' wide, 40' long, with a four-foot
recess at the back, 161a' high with
a belfry on top. This building cost
when completed about twelve hun
dred dollars.
The dedication services took
place on Sunday, December 81,
1882. Rev. ]. S. Willis, a retired
Methodist preacher of Milford,
preached the morning sermon, and
the Rev. A. w. Lightbourne, pas
tor of the Methodist Church at Mil
ton, preached at night.
At. these two services more mon
ey was collected than was needed,
so they purchased a bell The trus-
tees who were serving in the year
1882 were Samuel E. Reed, John
Clendaniel, James B. Reed, James
II. Warren, D. Henry Reed, and
Elias B. Reed. These men were
faithful stewards and years ago
passed on to receive their reward.
The people of Glendale were
justly proud of their new church,
and it soon showed it's power by
the ingatherfng of precious souls,
