In 1880 a Presbytery consist ing of elders W. R. Gwaltney, John Adams, James D. Tinsley, and I. T. Prevette, with W. R. Gwaltney as moderator, met in the old courthouse in Wilkea- boro, and organized the, 'g^llkes- boro Baptist church. I. T. Pre vette was elected church clerk. (Mr. Prevette was the father of our townsmen Messrs. J. T. and Royal Prevette). The New Hamp shire profession of faith was adopted, and after the devotional exercises by Mr. Gwaltney, eleven members were received Into the church by letter, all from the Cub Crek churoh, five by letter from Mt. Pleasant church, and tour by letter from Oak Forrest church. These letters were read by Mr. Prevette. the clerk, and the Presbytery being satisfied as to their standing they were ad mitted to the organization, and thus the life of the Wilkesboro Baptist churoh was begun with twenty members.

The old ahurch was a wooden building, and stood on what is now the Brushy Mountain drive, and about one hundred and fifty yards southeast of where the Federal building stands. A very pretty bungalow now stands on that lot, the property of Marvin Lowe. Eventually, after the present brick church was built, this old wooden building was torn away, and Mr. R. A. Spainhour, having d-jnated the church a lot on which to build a pastorlum, this material from the old church was used for the pastorlum. Years later, It was decided to build the pastor’s home nearer the church, so this pastorlum was sold for a bers. Always, we shall miss the cheerful present o f Attorney Frank B. Hendren.
