By H. TRACY BROWN a
Methodism had quite an early
start in and around Magnolia, even
before Magnolia came Into exist
ance. It was at first called S trick
lands, when the town consisted of
a country store and perhaps a post
office operated by a Mr. Strickland.
About one mile from Stricklands
iDioneer faulty livedi on -the
-south side of Carr Branch, A prong
of MaxweU Creek, owning a large
tract of land on both sides of the
main road, and up the branch and
over to near Beasley's Millpond.
The owner of this land, James Ro
gers had three ,sons, James, Jr.,
Job and Peleg, and one daughter,
Isabella. James Rogers, tor., uiea,
leaving his estate to his four child
ren Job name in oossession of the
home farm, now owned by Mr. John
R. Croom. James jr., neirea ine
land adjoining to the west, up the
branch. . . '. ,..
On this tract of land a house for
worship had been built on the
South side of Carr Branch, some
distance off the main road. We
do not know the date this church
was built, tut evidently it was
built a number of years before
the Rogers estate was divided, and
prior to the time the deed was
made. ' The congregation was plan
ning to rebuild when tne cnurcn
was deeded.
Ripnrda show that James Ro-
trors Jr.. deeded one acre of land.
where the church was standing to
"Francis Asbury, Bishop oi tnei
Methodist Church in America., va
lue mentioned was five shillings
current money, love for Christ
and other valuable considerations.

ty Registry, dated August 22nd
1794.
f erent charge during ; his twelve
short years of ministry. Each Cir
cuit felt fortunate in having him
whUe Methodism was striving for
existence and growth. He was fa
tally stricken with Yellow Fever
while serving at Norfolk and Ports
mouth in October 1603.
The minutes tell us that "he left
a legacy to the Conference, and.
another to build a house for God
in the neighborhood of his nativi
ty". The church c'was built and
"Ormond's Chapel", will forever
perpetuate the memory of the he
roic and sainted William Ormond.
This Chapel is located between
Kinston and Snow Hill.
- Records are not available of all
the preachers who served the Carr
Branch Church. Daniel Shines
came on the Goshen Circuit about
1794; which was tne year tnat cms
church was deeded to Bishop As
bury. Thomas Easter, a native of
Virginia came In 1795; Nathan Ga
rratt, a native of North Carolina
came In 1799. We do not know
how many years he served tne
Goshen Circuit.
Evidently one Kev. u. o. wicnoi
son pastored this church at a much
later date; and was the first pastor
at our present Magnolia church.

This church was on the New

in 1785. embracing Onslow, Jones,
Cartaret. Craven, end at least a

from the stream, New River in On

River Circuit was divided and two
new Circuits were formed. The
Trent Circuit, which was mostly in
Jones and Lenoir Counties, and the
Goshen Circuit which extended
from Beaufort to as tar west as
Ramoson County. This Circuit

This early cnurcn was me center
of Methodist worship for a wide
area extending over Into bampson
iflumv. we uo not kihjw at wnai
date this Carr urancn cnurcn ceas
ed beine used for worship. Un
doubtedly the congregation decid
ed to move to a more convenient
location and build a more ade
auate house of worship. This was
the beginning of our present Mag
nolia church.
In 1856 a devout christian and
Methodist. Dr. Milton K. Devane,
decided a plot of land 60V& feet by
170 feet fronting -west on Carlton
Street In the town of Stricklands
ville (as it was called at this later
date) for a Methodist Episcopal
Church South to be erected on
This deed was made March 22, 1856
to Rev. D. B. Nicholson, James
Pearsall, Richard P arish, James
Carr, Sotoman Turner, Bizzell
Johnson, Thomas McGee, Clem
Glaspie, and Milton K. Devane,
Trustees and their successors.
The railroad had been laid by
this time. The deed mentions this
plot being on the west side of the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. We
do not know the exact date this
building was begun, neither when
it was completed. Evidently it was
built that year; and the present
structure is the original.
This edifice, 36 feet by 50 feet,
was built of fat pine, with plaster
ed walls.- It's designs and fittings
show the most skilled workman
ship, which very few buildings
equal. A large vestibule was at
the entrance with a stairway lead
ing up to the gallery, which seat
ed the colored people in slavery
time, also later when any chose
to attend a service. The outer ma
terials show much age, but not the
slightest bit of decay. Doubtless
it would stand for more than an
other century. In 1904 a large lot
was secured on Main Street. A
new parsonage was erected on part
of the lot. In 1905 the church was
moved from the original location,
which was directly back of the
John F. Croom factory, to the pre
sent site on Main Street, where it
is now being used for worship.
During that year the gallery and
the vestibule were removed. The
waUs were refinished with the best,
clear pine celling that could be
obtained and were coated with
clear varnish which showed the
beautiful grain of the pine.
The pastor, Rev. M. B. Martin,
supervised the entire building pro
gram and was the first to occupy
the new parsonage. Dr. Martin did
a great part of the actual work
himself, often working alone. Dur
ing the year of 1945 Sunday School
rooms were built inside the audi
torium where the vestibule and
gallery were. A space of sixteen
feet being between the floor end
the ceiling gave ample room for
two below and two rooms above.
The roof was recovered with metal
and the outside repainted. - Two
years later in 1947 the inside was
repainted and new carpet laid. All
added much to the beauty of the
auditorium.
Complete records are not avail
able of this present church, but
as far as can- be obtained In 1917
and 1918 the official board of stew
ards consisted of W. R. Newbury,
M. B. Taylor, W. L Merrltt L. C.
Chestnutt. W. H. Croom and Alton
Gaylor. In 1919 W, R. Newbury
and M. B Taylor moved awav. T.
C. Chestnutt and W. L, Merritt re

member until his death in 1923,
retired from the boaad In 1922- W.

until his death In 1925. The pre
