Members will bring picnic lunches to share in the Home coming Fellowship meal on the Wesleyan Methodism came to Whitmire in the year 1916, when the Rev. John Hames erected a Gospel tent at the intersection of Broome Street and Railroad Avenue, at the site that is now Cody Owens trailer park. After a successful meeting a Wesleyan Methodist Church was organized. As our records of the times are incomplete we do not have a complete record of all the charter members, but among those who joined at the time were Miss Annie Mary King (Malone), Mr. J. T. Gaskin, Mr. M. C. King, Mrs. Sallie Crocker. Rev. D. 0. Powers came as the first Pastor of the new church and continued until his death in 1937. As there was no church build ing at this time and no pros pects for one soon, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Crocker opened their doors at 411 Grant Street for services. Another person that came to Whitmire at this time, a person whom many loved and most everyone knew, Mrs. Maner Macklerath Shelton (a widow). She came to play for Rev. Hames in the tent meeting and became acquainted with Mr. Bob Reid, whom she later married. After his death she seemed to adopt Whitmire as her family, sharing the joys and sorrows of the people until her death about 1958. About 1919 the first church building was erected in the same location as the present one, at Broome and Duckett. There was very little money available and the church was built in part, if not all, with voluntary labor. As the work ing schedule at the mill was ten hours a day and five hours on Saturday, the members and friends of the church would gather after work to build the grounds following the service. Members, former members, and friends will have the opportun ity to chat with Dr. Cauble, who received his honorary degree from Newberry College in May of this year. The Homecoming Committee consists of: J. E. Kinard Sr., Ralph Kinard, T. J. Kinard, Malcolm Kibler, and J. C. Kin ard. The Rev. William H. Link, Pastor of Bachman Chapel, in vites all members, former mem bers, and friends of the congre gation to particiate in all of the activities of this day, to worship God with one another in the beauty of holiness, to be re freshed and renewed by the Word and Grace of God. Pastor gets camp award The Rev. Clarence Walck, Jr. participated in the Lutheran Conference on Scouting July 15- 21 at Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, N. M. He is pastor of St. Phillip’s church. After the church building was erected, a Sunday School was organized with Mr. J. T. Gaskin as superintendent, Mr. E. M. Lackey, song leader, Mrs. Man er Reid, organist, Miss Pauline Crocker, secretary. Also there was a Wesleyan Missionary So ciety organized with Mrs. Sophie Darby as president, and a Y.M. W.B., with Mrs. Ida Price as superintendent. In the beginning the church was a small one room building, but as time went on the church continued to grow, both in the size of the building and in mem bership. At the time of the death of the pastor Rev. D. 0. Powers in 1937, there had been seven Sunday School rooms added to the building. At the death of Rev. Powers, Rev. L. W. Barbee came as pastor and continued until 1940, at which time he felt the call to evangelistic work and re signed. During the pastorate of Rev. Barbee, a parsonage was bought and the church building was renovated inside and the outside was brick-veneered. Under the supervision of Rev. Barbee, Rev. T. B. Rhoades, Rev. W. M. Crocker and Rev. M.C. King organized a Wesley an Church at Wattsville, with Rev. M. C. King as the first pastor. The Rev. J. D. Scoggin came as pastor in 1942 and served until 1942. Rev. C. T. Bryant served as pastor through the war years of 1942 until 1947, at which time he accepted a call to the First Wesleyan church (College Church) at Cen tral. The Rev. W.S. Allred came in 1947 and continued until 1951, after which Rev. A. L. Vess came and served until 1953. in Newberry. His wife, Dorothy, and their two children accom panied him to the 137,000-acre camp in the heart of the Rock ies. Pastor Walck is one of 36 Lutheran clergymen across the nation to receive a scholarship for this training conference from Lutheran Brotherhood, a frater nal insurance society with head quarters in Minneapolis, Minn. Since 1923 the society has given financial assistance to help build Boy Scouting in the United States. The Philmont leadership course is conducted by the Nat ional Council of the Boy Scouts of America with the coopera tion of the Lutheran Council in the United States of America (LCUSA). Selections for the award were made by the Nat ional Council, LCUSA, and the Lutheran Brotherhood. Lutheran Brotherhood has also awarded Philmont grants to 59 leaders of Scouting units spon sored by Lutheran churches. Since 1961 the Scout training awards have been given annual ly to pastors and lay leaders of Lutheran church sponsored Boy Scout and Explorer units. In 1953 Rev. E. L. Alexander came to Whitmire and shortly thereafter the Church entered into a building program to build a new church building. “On Ocotber 11, 1958 at 2:30 P.M., marked another day of achievement for the First Wes leyan Church of Whitmire. A group of church members and friends gathered at the site of the new church sanctuary and broke the ground and dedicated it to the glory of God and the furtherance of His Kingdom. The service seemed most fitting as it could only have been possible by the help of God and the cooperation of the people.” The Rev. E. L. Alexander continued in Whitmire until 1963, at which time he accepted a call to the First Wesleyan Church in Cen tral. Rev. W. S. Allred returned for his second pastorate in 1963 and continued until February 1967, at which time he resigned and the Rev. C. R. Tegen came as interim pastor to serve until Conference time in July. Rev. Marvin Quarles came as pastor in July 1967, and is serv ing until the present. The high lights of events since Reverend Quarles became pastor was the merger of the Wesleyan Metho dist Church of America, (of which we were a part) and the Pilgrim Holiness Church in 1968, at which time the name was changed from The Wesleyan Methodist Church to “The Wes leyan Church”. The mortgage on the church was paid off in January of 1969, and a Parson age Building Fund was begun. In November of 1969 the con struction of the new parsonage was begun. In March of 1970 the Pastor and family moved into the new parsonage, which is Ideated on the Newberry high way. They are part of the insurance society’s fraternal activities pro gram, for which over 1.4 mil lion dollars has been allocated this year. TRANSFERS OF REALTY Newberry No. 1: R. A.
