Mrs. McCreary Tells
How Chapel Grew From
Log Uhurch In Hyder Mt.
Aunt Callie
By MRS. MILLARD FERGUSON
Mountaineer Correspondent
When Mrs. William F. McCreary
spoke about the growth of the re
ligious life in the Hyder Mountain
community, she spoke with author
ity when the new, modern Finch
er's Methodist Chapel opened for
mally on Sunday. April 24.
For Aunt Callie as she is known
affectionately, has lived all her 88
years among the people of Hyder
Mountain, and is the oldest living
member of the church.
As she looked at the clean, new
pews of the bright, roomy chapel,
she remembered other Sundays in
the community's first church.
When she was a little girl, Mrs.
McCreary recalled, she'd come to
the little log chapel and sit on one
of the hewn log benches whose peg
legs rested on the earth floor until
the Rev. John Kerr started the
services. Mr. Kerr's work can best
be told by his daughter, Mrs. J. K.
Boone, who now lives in Wavnes
ville. The church stood at the inter
section of Big Branch Creek and
Hyder Mountain Road near the W
C. Kirkpatrick home, and it had
room for 50 people.
Joe Rhiflchart and his famllv
were regarded as the Christian
leaders of the community then. To
day, three generations later, their
influence is still felt in the life of
the community through the work
and the service of their direct des
cendants. Mrs. Bessie Rhinehart
Robinson and her family.
As the community grew, so did
the church.
In 1875. Mrs. McCreary related,
the county erected a i.:: ger church
where the Holt home now stands.
Like the first one. it had an
earthen floor. When the weather
was cold, a fire was built in the
open fire place that stood in the
middle of the floor, and Hie smoke

But it was primarily a Methodist produce this newest monument to
chapel, since most of the people In
the community were Methodists.
The Rev. J. R. Long became the
first pastor of the new church, and
a voung Civil War veteran named
William Ferguson was the first
school teacher.
Mr. Ferguson left some time
later to study medicine at Vander
hill University. He was 88 years
old when he died in 1934 after 52
years of service as a doctor in
West Asheville the longest time
any practitioner had served there.
The log building gave way in
1904 to a new frame structure
which Has used for all purposes.
This was the first Fincher's
Chapel, named for the Rev. Willie
rincher. its first pastor who had
worked lo make il possible.
The new stone and brick chapel
built recently on a hill overlook
ing Hyder Mountain's fertile farms
and the majestic hills in the back
ground bear his name.
The Rev. Mrs. C. O. Newell Is
Hie pastor n w. continuing the
long service whose beginnings
Mrs. McCreary recalls so vividly
from the das of Mr. Kerr.
Aunt Callie can tell you how
Mrs. Newell and her husband, who
Is also a Methodist minister, lab
