GASH) ' i ? ^ ? 1866-1876 ? Davidson River Church U. S. A. (Northern) i In the l?3t chapter we told of the j re-organization of the two branches lof the church, one' Southern and one Northern. J The Northern branch, not ^ontest jing with the Southern branch for the , old church building, met and organ lied at residence of G. W. Kitchen in. 'June 1866. j For some years, the Northern .church endeavored to maintain a! ? "Concord Presbytery,"' made up of! I the organizations that adhered to the ( general Assembly of the Northern ichurch. In this organization, Rev. John C. Stewart was treasurer, and !Rev. John^C. Carson was a Mission ary, laboring in the mountain sec tions. Mr. Carson supplied the church from time to time. During ! 1 866, 1867 and 1868, the records re port the meetings a.s held at the res idence of G. W. Kitchen. In 1809, we j first find the record of the meetings j held at the church and in that year I Concord Presbytery met in the Dav lidson River church. (It is of interest I to note that it was the same year 'that the Concord Presbytery of the | Southern church met in old Davidson t River church, at which the overture I was sent up to Synod to form Meck lenburg Presbytery). From this, I (gather that the church building was finished, or nearly enough finished to be used by the Spring of 1869. A number of the members of the old church united with the or ganization. The record also tells of meetings held at Cane Creek. From 1866 to 1872 the church was sup plied at various times "by J. C. Car son, J. C. Stewart and T. Penland. In 1871 and 1872 the church was regularly supplied by Mr. Carson', under commission from the Domes tic Home Missjon Board. In 1872, the church called Rev. T. | Penland, as pastor, he to preach once a month, and his pay to be $60.00 per year, by subscription. In 1874 he was, re-employed. In 1875, he was again employed, to be paid by sub /cription, but the record omits to state the amount of his pay. The final record of the sewion of .this organization was made August 21st 1876, when the session elected W. W. Anderson as delegate to pres bytery, to meet at Reem Creek church The sessional records show they had been submitted to and approved by Presbytery at meetings at David son River, and at Biddle University, Charlotte. ? It is interesting to speculate on whether the admission to member ship of negroes at Cane Creek, dur in reconstruction days by Mr. Stew art and Mr. Carson and the meet ing of Presbytery at a negro school had anything to do with the disin tegration of this mountain church. The church building stood near the head of Glade Creek, near 'the residence of G. W. Kitchen (now, 1931, the residence of R. L. Capps.) Sometime in the late seventies or early eighties, the church was dis solved, or went out of existence. Some of the members returned to the Southern Branch of the church, some died, and some went to other demonstrations. About this time the building was turned over to the authorities of the Southern Church. In the early eighties. Rev. W. H. Davis, pastor of the Davidson River Church U. S. (Southern) held Sun- t day afternoon meetings there. The writer, as a lad, often attended these meetings. During the nineties under the pastorate of Rev. J. L. Wicker, the building was torn down and re elected on Boylston Creek, at Pres ton. where it stood for eiany years. This early attempt on the part of the Northern Church to keep up its work in Western North Carolina, so far as Transylvania County was concerned, was a failure. Other branches of the work around Ashe ville were kept alive, and some couple, of decades later, took added life and strength, resulting, among other things, in the establishment the Asheville Normal and Collegiate Institute, and the Asheville Farm School. Future chapters will carry on the story of the Davidson River Church, as a part of the Southern Church.
