It was on April 20, 1861, that two rifle companies?the Warren Guards and the Warren rifles?gathered at Emmanuel Episcopal Church here for a sunrise service before joining the Confedrate forces. And it was on Saturday morning, just over 100 years later, that scores of persons gathered in this church to begin a two-day centennial celebration that commeroated the sunrise service of a century ago. Amid hymns once sung by Confederate soldiers. Dr. Moul me uuerry, unapiain or saim Mary's Junior College in Raleigh, paid tribute to Emmanuel Church's historic role. Recalling Emmanuel Church's ties with the early "frontiers of mind and spirit," Dr. Guerry spoke of the church's rich history and told o* the former vestry, James H. Otey, later Bishop of Tennessee, who took the Episcopal movement westward and was instrumental in forming the | University of the South at Sewanee, Tenn. Dr. Guerry said that he felt that Emmanuel Church was his "spiritual home" and said that his uncle. Dr. Silas MeBee, bad carved the church's altar in 1804. Following the service, and a breakfast prepared by Emmanuel church women, doxens of persons attended a simple wreath-placing ceremony on the grave of Annie Carter Lee, daughter of Robert E.
