FIRST CONFIRMATION.
The first confirmation was made
September 14th. 1851, lit. Rev. E. C.
Gadsden officiating. About this time
it was decided to build a brick house
cf worship and accordingly plans
were drawn and the contract let.
When the walls of t'.ie church had
reached about three feet above ground
the contractor left and was never
heard of again. Thus the work remained
for a year, when Dr. McCulI,
....I. K..-1 .1. - ?

made a contract with William Hunter
for n stoa t building, it part of
which work remains itt the present
building. Dr. McCullough went to
the war as captain in the Holcolmb
I-egioti and preaching was for a time
suspended. The presence of many
refugees front the lower counties
during the latter years cf the war revived
t ic work, however, and services
were regularly held in the court
house. After the war. the building
wits finished, largely through the effoits
