trustees of this ohurch the ground
upon which the church was built In
1887 and the land south of It for a
manse. This church, which was built
on the corner of Main and South
Holly, was burned down October 15.
1895. and a larger church erected on
the asms corner. This was dedicated
May 81. 1898. In 1928 this building
was torn down and the present
church built where the manse once
stood, and the Main street corner
sold.
As sgent for the railroad J. S.

churches free building lots. The

the lot sold, only after the present
building on the corner of Ninth
and South Oakdale waa dedicated.
The M. B. Church North was given
the lot on Sixth street where the

some reason they never built there
and later sold the property and used
the money for a bell for the now
discarded church building on the
corner of North Bartlett and Fourth

North, was dedicated September 15.
