Church Got Start Back In Early Days Southern Receives Merit Certificate While the .Cl^rch of the Ascension at Hagood was consecrated by Bishop Ellison Capers March 8, 1896, the Church actually dates Its beginning as far back as Dec. 24, 1807. The Church of the Ascension de rived Its name from the fact that it built upon land that had long was been used for a cemetery, the resting place of many whose souls held to the promise of Him who is “risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept.” On December 24, 1807, two and one- half acres of land were secured from Mr. William Sanders by .Mesirs. Slack Hunter, James Bates and Ashb* rry Silvester. This 1; the land on which the Church was built, “lying in Sum ter District on the main road leading from Camden to Stateburg.” The men named built on the land a school house and a blacksmith shop. Tra dition says that thet called them- selves ‘The Shiloh Burying Asso«^ tlon.” The plot of ground has b«en known as Shiloh to the present day. Eighty-four years after Hunter, Rates and Silvester acquired this land, in the year 1890-91, Mr. William C. S. Eilerbe move4 with his family from Camden. Having decided to build an Episcopal church where he, his fami ly, and others interested could wor ship, be decided to build on this spot. He hauled logs from his own woods to his sawmill to make lumber for the church, one of his sons. N. C. Eilerbe did the sawing free of charge, and Mr. Eilerbe borrowed 8500 to help with the erection. The plan was made for the church and the work was done by Kennedy Lewis, a negro, who was born a slave. It is thought that he used the Church of the Holy Cross, Stateburg, aa his model. In the midst of the work, just before the building could be used for serv ices, Mr. Eilerbe died (March 20, 1895). Mrs. Eilerbe passed away two months later. Persons interested went to work and money for the completion of the church was raised in many ways.

The church was finished, however, in the face of obstacles. ^ Three years later, incidentally, a fire 4ainaged-4he roof of the choir-reegfc— After Mr. Ellerbe's death.
