Thomas Hirst's Store,
m w w-r Unro nfThomat llfrt represent"
Ill's one of the first business venture
- In Marshflold Tho store was open
ed in 1800 by Andrew Nasburg in the build
ing which is now occupied by U.T. Coleman's
blacksmith thop. At that tlmo there was
co Front rlreel tonth of A, and the atoro was
reached by h narrow walk along tho rntidfUt.
In tho early seven! lea Mr Hirst bought in

with Mr Nasburg, and they were associated together until
the tatter's death in IS'.M. Tho postolflce was located in one
corner of the store, Mr Nasburg bein postmaster, a poriilnn
which he held untlil lio resigned anil was aoceeeded by Mr
Hirst, who retained the olllce uutill 1885. In 1877 the pres
ent store building whs coistructod. A goi.oral merchandise
business was conducted. A largo stock ws carried, nnd a
uood tiade was always enjovod. Tho aim of llm proptiotori
Lelug lo carry only goods of the moot rellableqiality.
Since Mr Nmbura's death, Mr. Hirst has conducted the
husines on the established conservative lines. His adopted
rou, Milton Hint, was given a good training in the bur-inees,
and when Mr. and Mrs. Hirst started for a visit lo their old
home in Australia lart dumir.er, for a few months well-earned
vacation, Mtl'on was left in charge of the store. At this
time it was determined to chanuo somewhat the lino of buxl
ners. Accordingly the lines of dy uoods, clothitijr. men's
fuinlshinys, hats, shoes etc. were closed out, and attention
is now given exclusively lo tho lino of grrrories, Ihtir and
feed, In which the stock is bo ng amplified and enlarged, nnd
the trae'e is correspondingly increasing.
Marshficld Presbyterian Church.
A Presbyterian Church was organized on Coos Uty, iu
1874 perhaps at Kmpire City bv Itev. A. II, Dates, whomiuist
errd to it for some two years and returned to Illinois. He
now resides in Washington I). O. In 187J Rev J U. II Hew
itt was rent to Coos Hay but he did not remain. This Church
appears iu tho minutes of the Southern Oregon Presbytery
in 1877 but in 1878 it disappears from the minutes, having
been disbanded. In 1878 Kev. J. A. Ilanna, ny appointment
of Presbytery, v'sited Coos Hay to investigate the condition
of the Cnurch then. In the discharge of hiaduty he traveled
iiiQ mlloa visited -10 families preached 11 times and found the
Presbyterians on the Hay dishoartenod. Nothing further vr
done until thn spring of 1R83 when Hv. A. R. Hickonback
came, nnd spent a year on tho Ray, living in Marshileld and'
revived the Church, but when he went away in 1831 Hi Church
went to bleep again. In tho fall of 1888 Rev. J. B. Hideout
was sent as a Homo Missionary to Coos Hav. He organized
the First Presbyterian Chinch of MarMilleld Aug 3d, 1S30.
with 7 members, His woik was prospered and ho reported
.'(I members in Apr., 1891. During that vear tho house of
worship was built. He remained with the church until the
(all of 181)5. when he removed to Whilter. Cal. He was suc
ceeded by Rev. Geo. Gillespie, who served the church mot
acceptably for about II years, when he removed to Port Or
ford. Rev. 8. U. McClelland came in Dec ,1000 and remained
until Apr. 1M02, During that lime tho church building was
removod to its present silo and the mania was purchased.
The present pastorate began June 1st, 1002, and Uev. F. G.
Strange was Installed Nov. 12ih, 1002 Since ho came 10
members have been reoiv.d, increasing the membership to
co. The Church has been painted and the manse has been
gieatly 'mproved and the outlook for continued growth it en-(ouragirg.
