The late severe frosts, it is reported,
has killed a great deal of fruit in the bud.
We think the mischief is only in certain
localities. Peach, apple, cherry and plum
trees in the West Ward of Town are only
slightly damaged. The buds are gener
ally green, and clear of the black speck
in the center. But the severity of the
winter is indicated by the killiug of rose
bushes, especially more rare varieties,
down to the ground. The cold 'Friday
and Saturday of 1833, killed all the China
trees, but strange as iFniay seem,; altho'
the registered temperature at that time

ROWAN COUNTY.
BY J. It.
A SKETCH OF EPISCOPACY IN ROWAN
COUNTY.
BY JOHN 8. HENDERSON, ESQ.
Samuel Fleming attended the Conven
tion at Hillsboro as a delegate from Christ
Church. In his report to the Newborn Con
vention, May 17, 1827, Mr. Wright said that
"there was reason to hope, that the friends
and members of the church in his charge
have not only increased in number, but are
advancing in zeal and knowledge, growing
in grace and holiness."
The new building of Christ Church was con
secrated by BishopRaven-croft,July 17,1227,
inthe presence of a large concoursef people,
the customary deed having lcen executed
on the day previous. The Bishop was assist
ed in the services by the Revs. Thomas
Wright,- R- S. Miller and William M. Greene.
The latter is now the venerable and beloved
Bishop of Mississippi. This Church was
situated about 12 miles -west of Salisbury,
near the Statesville read alout one mile
below the point where Third Creek Station,
pu the Western North Carolina Railroad is
now located. In his report of this consecra
tion to the Fayetteville Convention, 1828,
the Bishop speaks of the congregation of
Christ Church as a "large body of worship
pers, the second in number of communicants
fa the Diocese." On the J5th day of Sept.,
1827, Moses A. Locke, Charles Fisher and
John Beard, Jr., as Executors of Lewis Beard,
executed and delivered to John McClelland,
James Martin, Stephen L. Ferrand, Thomas
Chambers, Edward Yarborough and Ed
ward Cress, vestry of the Episcopal Congre
gation of St. Luke's Church, a deed in fee
for Lot No. 11 144 square poles in the
town of Salisbury now the east cor
ner of Church and Council streets. The
following clause is inserted in the deed :
- uAnd in case at any time hereafter the
congregation of St. Luke's shall dissolve,
then the right to said Lot shall vest in the
Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of North
Carolina, and his perpetual successors, iu
trust for the said congregation of St. Luke's,
when it shall revive. (Registered in Book
No. 30 p. 8). The. lot is said to have been
presented by Maj. John Beard, Jr., a very
devoted churchman who removed to Florida,
where he resided for many years, hanng died
only a few years ago.
The present church building was erected
in the year 1828, the Rev. Francis L.
lawks being the architect. Mr. John Berry
was the contractor and builder. 31 rs. Mary
N. Steele, widow ef Gen. John Steele, gave
the ground to make the bricks and burnt
them. Before the church was consecrated
the Masonic Fraternity assembled there
and organized "Fulton Lodge" the Rev.
W. M. Qreeh (now Bishop) meeting with
them. The building was consecrated by
Bishop Ravcnscroft, in July er August, 1878,
assisted by the Revs. Messrs. Wm. M. Green,
Thomas Wright, Pinup B. Wiley and Jno
H. Norment. The services "formed an ob
ject of much interest to some and of curios
ity to more." About this time Mr. Wright
ceased to be the Rector of Christ Church,
owing to the disinclination ot the latter to
continue their union with the church at
Salisbury, upon its original footing end
"that large and important and able congre
gation in the language ot Bishop Ravens
croft remained for some time without u
regular pastor.
The 13th Annual Convention mrt in St.
Luke's church, Salisbury, on Saturday May
23,1829. The lay delegates from Christ
Church were Charles Mills, Benjamin Harri
son, David Lowan ana Dr. W. H. Trent
from St. Luke's Parish were James Martin,
Romulus 31. baumlei, Edward ,1 arborough
and John Beard, Jr. Thomas F. Davis Jr.
cftcrwards Rector of the Parish and Bishop
of South Carolina was present as a lay del
egate from ot. James iburch, Wilmington.
EL J. Hale was present as a lay delegate
from St. John's Church, Fayetteville. Dar
ing the morning service on the first day of
toe session, the bacrament or utptisni was
administered to four adults; and at night
to four infants- Mr. Wright reported 15
communicants at St. Luke's and 70 at Christ
Church, and said -Fears are entertained bv
some oi tne vestry mat tney cannot main
tain a clergyman, even with the aid of
Christ Church. Perhaps an unmarried man
who could combine secular with clerical
duties who would divide his time be
tween the two churches of Rowan, and the
Congregation at Wadesbero, might be sup
ported. The few members of the female
Episcopal Society have wrought diligently.
ana nave been able to aeiray tne expense of
painting the chnrch and procuring cushions,
&c., for the pulpit, reading desk and altar.
By the exertions chiefly of one lady, $85.00
nave been presented lor - tne purpose of
purchasing a belt" "The members in gen
eral, of Christ Church are more confirmed
in their attachment to the church, land a few
ef them have obviously advanced in knowl
edge, zeal and holiness." 'J On Sunday morn
ing the Bishop preached from Romans, chap.
10. v. 14. The sermon was published, bv
request of the convention and was entitled,
-Revelation the Foundation of Faith." The
Rev. Philip B. Wileyj , was ordained priest,
and the communion was administered to 51
persons. Evening service' was performed
by the Rev. G. W. Freeman. The Rev. Mr.
Wright was elected one of the delegates to
the General Convention. During the tempo
rary retirement oi tne isiiopt Komulus AL
Sanders, a lay delegate, was called to the
chair. The Bishop's salary was fixed at
$1,000 per annum commencing from June
11, ibsy. j
From Mr. Wright's report to the Conven
tion of 1832, 1 extract the following: A
few years age the cpngregations in Rowan
had a name to live, and were dead, but by
the grace ana mercy or uoa, they have re
vived, arisen from the dust, and been in
some measure purified, and now ous princi
pies are better understood than at any pro
ceeding period. Our services are attended
by those who love them, and the blessed
gospel is, iu general, honored by the holy
walk of such as profess to believe it." Bish
op Ives, in his address, speaks of "the faith
ful aud self-denying labors of Mr. Wright
in St. Luke s Parish," having oeen very mad
equately repaid." He reported the cohgre
gation ef Christ Church, "as to its spiritual
state, seeming to be prosperous." On
Wednesday the 30th of May, 1823, Bishop
Ives visited St. Luke's Church, officiating
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday ensuing.
preaching to unusually serious and attentive
congregations, andconnrming 92 persons.
It was a circumstance of unusual gratia
cation to myself" says the Bishop, "as it
must have been to the worthy and devoted
servant of God, who was about leaving this
cene of his self-denying labors, to observe
among those who on this occasion, publicly
professed their faith, a number of the most
deservedly influential gentlemen of the place,
and among all a spirit of increasing solem
nity. : Among the gentlemen then con farmed
were Judge James Martin, John Beard, Wm.
Howard and Major John ncCIellan.
The Rev. Mr. Wright removed from Sahs
bury with his family, to Tennessee, towards
the close of the year 1833. lie was for a
short time a student of the law. He was
born (in Wilmington; . ordained Deacon
about the year 1821, and ordained priest
ia 1S23 or 24. He married a sister of Bishop
Greeny and raised a large family of children.
He lived in the old McNamara house, on
Main street (near the Western North Caro
lina Railroadjnext door to the Misses Beard.
He was a most devoted Herald of the Cross
full of years and piety and abounding in
missionary labors. During the time he was
at Salisbury he officiated constantly in the
Parishes of Rowan county,and frequently
and regularly visited Wadesboro, oil miles
away. He occasionally visited the Mills
settlement in Iredell county, Mocksville and
Wilkes county. He accompanied Bishop
Ravcnscroft for days at a time whenever the
latter was on his visitations. He is said to
have built up the first Episcopal congrega
tion of Memphis. He is remembered with
great admiration and affection by his oldi
parishioners in this State.
THE KEV. JOHN MORGAN',
Mr. Wright's successor, must have arrived
in Salisbury the latter part of November,
1832." ne reached Oxford, on his way, on
Saturday, the 24th, and' there met Bishop
Ives, and assisted the latter in his Sunday
services. Mr. Wrignt and his family did
not leave Salisbury until after his arrival.
Mr. Morgan was an Englishman by birth
and education and was never married.
Bishop Ives visited St. Luke's Church, Fri-
lay, Jane 14, 1833. and confirmed seven
persona, "lie was highly gratiued to uiarK
so many indications of spiritual improve
ment. I extract the following trom Mr.
Morgan's report to the Convention of 1834 :
Baptisms, 26, communicants, 20 ; Christ
Church, Baptisms, 20, communicants, 70 ;
Charlotte, Baptisms, 7, communicants, 3;
Iredell county, Baptisms, 10. His field in
cluded Charlotte and Lincolnton, which he
visited everv fifth week. "We have order
ed an Organ: the ladies deserving the credit
of it. The congregation of Christ Church
is decidedly improving in regard to the num
ber of those who regularly attend, and I
trust in knowledge, grace and zeal." The
same Organ has continued in use at St.
Luke's to this very day. It was built by
Henry Erben, of New York. The original
price was $700, but he reduced the charge
to $500, Mr. Morgan removed to Maryland
sometime the' latter part of the year 1835.
He lived to a good old age, dying on Staten
Island in 1877. He was fond of accumulat
ing rare and beautifully lound books; and
he took great pride in showing his books to
those who called to see him. He was a very
charitable man spending his money, how
ever, . without discrimination. lie paid a
visit to England shortly after leaving here
in company with the late Hon. Burton
Craige. I heard the latter eav, that Mr.
Morgan was in the habit of droppin
gold guinea ($5) into the box for the poor
everv time he entered a church while other
people were dropping in penniesor shillings,
Mr. Craige said he repeatedly remonstrated
with him about such reckless extravagance
telling him, that at the rate he was going
on, the legacy which he had lately inherited
would soon be exhausted. But his remon
stranccs had very lUtlerctToet, He is said to
have given his own overcoat.to a man who
was shivering in the cold, and rode home
himself without one. Before leaving the
State, Sir. Morgan, in December, 1834, gave
up the Rectorship of St. iLuk.cs Church, in
order to confine himself riiorc." closely to his
other fields of labor. About' that time he
reports the number ef (communicants at
Salisbury at 23, Christ Church and Iredell
110. Burke county 17,harlotte 2. On Fri
day, September 24, 1834,1 the Bishop eon
firmed at Christ Church thirty persons.
Mr. Morgan labored with great zeal and
success and he was greally beloved and re
spected by his parish tone's; in fact by all
who knew him.
He was succeeded in t le Rectorship of
St. Luke's by the
REV. WlLMAM wj. SPEAR,
in January, 1833. Mr. Spear had been or
dained deacon, July 25th, J.834, at Hillsboro.
The ordination sermon was preached by the
Rev. Geo. W. Freeman., Mr. Spear was an
educated gentleman. He jwent to schonl in
Salisbury. to the Rev. Jonathan Otis Fret
man, a Presbyterian ministjer and Pastor of
the Presbyterian congregation in Salisbury.
The latter was a brother oft the Rev. Geo. W.
Freeman, who wa9 than Rector of Christ
Church, Raleigh, and afterwards the Bishop
of Arkansas. TheRev. G W. Freeman min
istered to Bishop Ravenscroft during his
List hours. He was born in Massachusetts
in the year 1780 (?. I
The Rev. Jonathan O. Ffceniaa was a cel
ebrated instructor. Nu miters of the old
ople in Salisbury of all ; denominations
were baptized and instructed by him in
cluding many Episcopalians. His son, E.
B. Freeman, of Raleigh, anjd clerk of the Su
preme Court, adopted the religion of his
unrlc. and lecnme a communicant of the
Episcopal Church,
Mr. Spear, after Wnm
Holy orders, entered the ftnpri :twiv

Miss Maria Louisa Spear, an eider sister
of the Rev. Mr. 8pear, also resided in Salis
bury for a few years. She was born in Pad-

near Chapel Hill, January 4, 1881. She ed

Bishop of Mississippi, who has recentlv
spoken of her as an "incomparable woman."
Mrs. Cornelia P. Spencer, of Chapel Hill,
herself a Presbyterian, and a sister of the
Rev. Charles Phillips, D. D., thus lovingly
writes about Miss Spear in an obituarv
article in the Church Messenger of Jan. 27.
"Miss Maria Spear, having been born an
English woman, remained an English wo
man all her life, possessing some f the most
valuable representative characteristics of
that nationality. She was thorough, she
was sincere, she was quiet, she was conser
vative, ana she was a staunch and devout
church-woman. Her love for the Episcopal
Church, and her delight in its service, was

nection with Christ's Church "was dissolved,
with the hope that each of these congrega
tions would be able to support a minister
resident among themselves. In Saiisburv
the experiment has succeeded to a degree;
though it is not probable, that the present
plan can long continue. A large and influ
ential family, with other individual mem
bers, have removed to the west, and most
of the remainder who are interested in our
cause, arc anticipating the same result. The
Sunday School has recently been opened,
though that part of town open to us, does
not aaortl more than 20 scholars. Junior
and senior Bible classes are held in the week,
attended, I believe, with serious feeling."
Communicants, 17. ne also occasionally
officiated at Charlotte and Lincolnton.
The Rev- M. A. Curtis, then. Missionary
Deacon, located at Lincolton, occasionally
ministered to the Rowan congregations after
the resignation of Mr. Spear. He afterwards
became the beloved Rector of St. Matthews
Church, Hillsboro, where he died a few
vcara ago. He was a man of great piety
and learning. The Rev. C. J. Curtis, editor
of the Church Messenger, is a son of his, and
the Rev. W. S. Bynum, of Winston, married
one of his daughters.
Sunday, July 24, 1836, Bishop Ives preach
ed, baptized six infants, confirmed six per
sons, administered the Holy communion,
and examined the children in the catechism,
in Sti Luke s, Salisbury."
The Next Rector of the congregation of
Christ Church and St. Luke's, was the
REV. THOMAS F. DAVIS, JR.
He took charge in November, 1836. The
congregations had been suffering from the
want of regular religious services, and from
the removals of some of the most valuable
members of St. Luke's. Mr. Davis in- his
report to the convention of 1837, prayed to
Almighty God to poor upon these congre
gations the abundance of His heavenly
grace. Their Pastor cannot but feel his own
insufficency, and deplore the small apparent
fruit of his labors."
In 1838, the communicants at St. Luke's
weie 18 ; at Christ Church, 78. One of the
largest families connected with St. Luke's
Church had removed to the west during the
previous year. Mr. Davis reported "the con
dition of the church iu Salisbury as not en
couraging." "Christ Church was gradually
gaining strength." The delegates to the
Convention of 1839, from St. Luke's were
John B. Lord. William Locke and Charles
K. Wheeler the two former attended. Mr,
Davis reported 21 communicants at St.
Luke's, and for Christ Church 91 confir
mations at the latter 21, (July 14th and 15th,
1838). "There has been a much larger and
more interested attendance upon Divine or
dinanccs than heretofore. An increased in
terest in the Church then certainly is ac
companied with an increased degree of at
tention to the word of God. The people of
St. Lukes, entirely of their own accord, have
almost doubled the Pastor's salary, and have
in everv resnect exhibited towards him a
kind and affectionate regard." "The child
rcn of Christ Church are well acquainted
with the Church Catechism." "At Mill's set
tlement. Iredell countv, communicants, 18
The cause of the church is on the advance
in this part of the country."
The 24th Convention of the Diocese met
i.i St. Luke's Church, Salisbury, Wednesday,
May 13, 1840. St. Andrews Church, Row
an countv, was admitted into uniou with the
Convention. Vestrymen were Philip Rice,
