Tour Frigidaire Dealer GUPTOfTS SERVICE CENTER V PHONE 211-6 South Main Street Loui^burfc, N. 0. HISTORICAL By REV. IS. B. DAVIS The beginning of Methodism in Louisburg dates back well night to the beginning of Louisburg and of Methodism itself. Here are some dates well authenticat ed t-hat we might do well to re membei* ? first sermon by a Meth odist preacher in America by Philip Embury in his own house in New York 17 66.; first Metho dist Church in America in New York by Embury and others in 1768; first Methodist Conference in America. Philadelphia, July 14, 17 73; American Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776; Franklin County with Louisburg as County Seat came into being 1779; first Conference of Meth odism in North Carolina, also first of organized Methodism af ter its organization in Baltimore Christmas 1784, at Green Hill's near Louisburg April 20, 1786. It is believed these facts and dates ure dependable which being ad mitted six years aft?r the organi zation of the county and town and nine years after the Declaration of Independence Methodism was not only in being and established in and around Louisburg but was well enough established to enter tain an Anuual Conference ses sion. Regarding Louisburg's ear ly history it may be interesting to give here an extract from a diary of Edward Hooker, graduate of Yale 1805, as recorded in "N. C. Schools and Academies" (Coon). "Nov. 30, 1.805. soon after my ar rival at Louisburg I sent my name to Mr. M.^Hlckinson, the Principal of the Academy, who graduated at Yale one year before me. He soon came and look tea with me at Hills. Spent 2 or 3 hours pleasantly and walked tu his. Academy, a pleasant building on the hill ubout one-fourth mile from the village of Louisburg. We stayed at "his room about an hour, drank poner, read and talk ed and walked back to Hills. ! Louisburg is in a hilly part of the cuu ii try, has perhaps a dozen houses and 2 or 3 stores and mills on Tar River. The Shire town of Franklin County. The county was luamed after Dr. Franklin and l-he village after LouisXVl. at the time Dr. Franklin as our agent in the Resolution went to France and ootained supplies from l-he French." Mark those words AT THE TIME. etc. and OBTAINED SUPPLIES from the French and in those supplies no doubt we may include LaFayette and Rocham beau. This quotation may help to the correct spelling of Louisburg i which is LOUIS and not LEWIS. Bearing on that there have been those who would connect the naming of our town in some way with that of another Louisburg, the only other one with the same spelling so far as known on this side of the ocean at t-hat time was Louisburg, Nova Scotia ? to be more exact on Cape Breton Is land in Canada. And there is another bit of interesting Met'ho dist history. Helping Embury in building that first Methodist Church in New York was CapK Thomas Webb, officer in the Brit ish army. Educator and wealthy zealous lay preacher of whom President John Adams said, "he is one of the most eloquent speak ers I have ever heard." His pic ture you may see in any Metho dist history, always with a flap over one eye. Why that sight less eye? He acquired it at the siege of Louisburg then a strong ly guarded fort in the hands of t'he French when a bullft after penetrating his temple went through his eye and dropped In his inouth and was then swallow ed by him. Prior to this, this remarkable man had been with Washington in Braddock's defeat at Fort Duquesne in 1755, and then afterwards in 1759. with his one eye. after scaling the heights of Abraham had her part in the defeat of t'he French at Quebec. It was while stationed as a British officer at Albany in 1768 that he heard of the labors of Embury and Barbara Hech In N. Y. and came to their help. However Louisburg acquired lt? name soon after it began to function, the Methodist without much previous history back of them were either on the ground or were close by. These dates and facts f repeat are sure and | easily remembered. Declaration of Independence 1776, Organlza-j NEW! h of the town. Another date we may do well to remember in this connec tion is that the flrsti Methodist Conference of any sort held in America as far as the records show was in Philadelphia in X773 at which Conference John King was one of the ten preachers re ceiving an appointment, it* being New Jersey. In 1774 he was sent to Norfolk. In 1777 with three others his assignment was North Carolina circuit which reminds us of John Wesley's words, "the world is my Parish." He receiv ed no appointment according to the records after that year being married, built him a home and resumed the practice of Medicine. ' It is a safe conclusion that he and , his brother-in-law Green Hill had j much to do with the (Establish ment of Methodism in the new town as well as in the adjacent cotetry. In 1778 the preachers as^ned to the N. C. Circuit di vided tihat circuit into three, viz: Roanoke, Tar River and New Hope and to 'Tar River Circuit most certainly including Louis burg and having a membership of 455. There were assigned as Pastors, Andrew Yeargin and William Moore. At that same session of Conference 1778 when the name Tar River Circuit first appears on the minutes where it has continued to appear ever since without a break for 162 years. There also appears this interest ing minute: "Five of the old cir cuits' were left off this year name ly, New York, Philadelphia, Ches ter. Frederick and Norfolk. Some of these circuits could not be at tended to on account of the war and some of them were in posses sion of the British." Jesse Lee, historian and statistician of early | Methodism.
