This same record Btree an o a shows that because of bad weath er, the Sunday schools were su spended at that date, until wint er moderated a bit. Then for a period of four years as far as the records show. Rev. M. L. Wood remained as presiding elder, with Rev. Miles Foy preacher in charge. In January 1876 the minutes show that Rev. D. R. Bruton is I it WM bnih.wUli a gal tery ao that slaves wuld at tend^church servi^ with* their master's famlliee, and after the Civil War freed the colored peo Tle« the old faaijty servants still (flfnlfeh^^ttended services th^'-.e with their .“ ^ beloved *‘whtte folks.*’ When he Sacrement^f-the Lord's Supper was served to the members of theicharoh and other Christians the sacrament was carried up to Ike gallery so^ that the Slaves could partake of this sacred sup-* per.;* It is "very interesting to know that the first colored Meth odist church of the county was organized by an old slave of either the Hackett or the Stokes family. He was known as Alfred Stokes. In the early 1890's the old wooden church was sold I have learned to a Mr. James McLean, and he had the building changed into a dwelling and lived there for a time. After that I do not know who lived there; but when I came to Wilkesboro, and for a number of years afterward, the house was occupied by a colored woman whom most of us know, i Fannie Vannoy. Within the past ' ten or twelve years the old I bnilding, having served its time ; of usefulness, and gone into de cay, has been torn down and done away with, and the property formerly known as Hardin Hill has passed on to the Yates fam ily. Looking through some records dating as far back as 1868-69 we find among the "Wilkesboro Class for 1868-69” many Inter esting names. Among them are Dr. Robert F. Hackett, Richard L. Hlx, Bengamin F. Petty, and Addison L. Rousseau, all named as stewards of the church. The entire record of membership shows fifty-two members, among then being Elizabeth Chatham, Caroline V. Chatham, Mirandh F. Hix. Sarah H. Brown, Elizabeth H. Hunt, Caroline Gordon Hack ett. FVances Hunt. Martin Chat ham, Adam Crowson, Juda Hix, Louisa Crowson, Allen Hlx, Nan cy B. Petty, James B. Rousseau. Charles N. Chatham, Nancy J. Crowson, Martha E. Chatham, Julias H. Rousseau, Charley N. Hunt, and some others; but it would make the list too long to name all of them. It seems that Wilkesboro Cir cuit and Mountain Mission was made up of twelve churches, Wil kesboro making the thirteenth. The twelve churches were Char ity. Lebanon, Shiloh. Elk, Union, Bicknel, Temple Hill, Bethel, Sharon, Eflantine, Eschol and Dunkirk, and one can only won der how one preacher could meet all these appointments especially in a time when travelling was slow, and when for a part of every year, horse-back was the main means of getting anywhere, because of the bad conditions of the roads. The first record of minutes there .kave been about six- chit in ^ conversions at a revival that Wd b^n held, and mere ' were twenty-sevei acceaslbnir.-to the church, and among the names of this time. operation 187® wei find Rev.

Edward How land preacher in charge, and W. O. Woods, secretary. It is inter esting to note the great effort that is being made to organize and carry on the Sunday school work, especially during the wint er. At this time we note that in the entire circuit there were on ly two Sunday schools that were carried on d'urlng any part of the winter, partly because of se vere weather, but mainly be cause of the uncomfortable con dition of the houses of worship. At this time the Wilkesboro Sun day school shows a record of thirty-five pupils, five teachers, and W. G. Woods is the superin tendent. At this conference the following members were appoint ed a committee to take into con sideration the building of a par sonage in the Wilkes circuit; Dr. R. F. Hackett, Wilkesboro, Thom as Triplett, Lebanon, Charlie N. Hunt, Bethel. R. L. Hix, Charity, and the other churches in the circuit were represented. At the first quarterly confer ence held for 1878 on February 23rd, we find Mr. Bruton again presiding elder, and Rev. B. J. Eudaily is preacher in charge, with W. G. Woods, secretary. Mr. Eudaily reports with deep regret that the Wilkesboro Sunday school is the only one in the clr- and he la making a strenuous ef fort’to kroUse the people of the circuit to the importance of the Sunday ' a^ool work in the cburckea. Baring the second Quarterly conference"^ we find that Dr. W. C. dreen, Eva Hackett and Florence Hackett have been received into.^the church, also R. L. Scroggs, and M. B‘.' Greenwood. Dr. R- B. Hackett, Laurence C. Stokes, W. H. Hubbarg and Lln- dolph Parks are^^ named for the circuit parsonage committee. In 1882 Mr. Barrett is still presid ing'elder, and Rev. "Edward L. Pell is preacher in charge of the circuit, but the Ink has faded until it is impossible for me to read much of the record, but we find the Sunday schools are still making a fight, although it seems to be for some reason, a very dif ficult fight to keep in (uperatlon. At the first conference for 1883 we find Rev. L. L. Hendren is the presiding elder, and that Rev. E. J. Eudaily 1s again the preach er in charge. We note that the Wilkesboro Sunday school and the prayer meetings are in a more flourishing condition. At the fourth quarterly conference for 1884 we note for the first time in more than twelve years the absence of the name of Dr. Robert F. Hackett from the roll call. An item of interest is re corded: “On Sunday, November 2nd, at two o'clock in the after noon, James Hunt, infant son oI E. J. and F. M. Eudaily was bap tised by Rev. L. L. Hendren, at the residence of J. T. Hubbard in Wilkesboro." (To Be Continued Thursday) Hot.On tJie Trail ' .
