Tpo, they irere noi jaciung in piru oi BO' wn the wide riven and beautiful hnd of America.:- The Dicksons landed 'in Pennsyl vania a few years Sater" and came b Duplin, which' .included part ' of lew .Hanover and .surrounding buntiei at that time. The land in fhich they located was granted by he .Crown George IL.. j -.J , $ . $ The Presbyterians formed three roups One . at Sarecta ton the lortheast .'River, one at tirove, and he other at Goshen. It was Colonel Villlam Dickson who came to (Cosh n and built his home here.' The Id Dickson cemetery Is near the Kin of Goshen now. JHe was for tany years a member of rthe State gislature before the revolution Ind was one of the members who latified " the Constitution of '.this tate at Halifax on the 18th. day of becembtr 3T7B.

He died al ill lome In Goshen July B2, 1810 and long the stream of Goshen, there Las a meeting house. None of the lesidents can find the place, hut it recorded in the minutes of the General Assembly 178S-18-14 A Meeting House where the Presby terian Society could worship God. Major Michael Dickson, a brother If Colonel William Dickson located Pendleton, which is now South arolina. He, too, was a consecrat- Christian. The settlements were fer apart and transportation was by Later or horse back. So the people athered for worship once a year. therefore, the religious education Las carried on by the soldiers of the cross, American patriots, and faithful public servants the Gilles- ies, Pearsalls, Sloans, Stanfords, tfclntyres and Dicksons. Since there fore no ministers for many years iter the Presbyterian Society was rganized and the meeting houses uilt Major Michael Dickson was faithful ruling, elder for 60 years dmlnistering to those in need. Rev, .-. Dickson Stanford began preaching and teaching to the peo ple . oi his . territory . from, . which many counties, have, .been farmed, j. In 1880 Revc Alexander JiJcIvei be came a Missionary la his seetlon and in 1851 Rev. James Sprunt came to Duplin as pastor and stayed pat-; tor of th Churches until : 188C He, wee raw orTaras, earned his liv ing by other, work. The churches could not support him. Then came Dr. B. F. Marable, minister and mis-. sionary and organizer. He was fol lowed by Rev, Peter Mclntyre, who went about doing '" good, having very strong convictions., He would walk miles and miles, stopping a long the- way to. preach. He would not ride-a train on Sunday. Wher ever a group of people would gath er, people would , look forward to Sunday evenings. In walking from Faison to Mount Olive, he would stop In the shade of the old Atlantic Coast Line platform to rest. People liked to talk with him. He saw the opportunity of getting people to ga ther for a service. Se he, began preaching on the old platform with people sitting on the platform or standing around twice a month at Goshen Grove crossroads. The interest in these services en couraged him to start the erection of a building for the worship of God. Mr. R. J. Southerland of Mount Olive donated a half acre of land' and subscriptions of money and la bor were given by the people of the community and by March, 1903, construction on the frame building, facing the railroad tracks, had pro gressed enough to hold services. There was nothing fancy about the first seats which were erected of rough lumber. Rev.- Mclntyre be gan preaching regularly every first and third Sunday afternoons. A Sunday School was organized and E. B. Sutton was elected Superintendent. At a meeting of the Presbytery held in the First church in Wilming ton in June 1903, a petition was presented for the organization of a Presbyterian Church at Calypso. This was granted. A commission, composed of the Rev. Mclntyre, the Rev. A. D. McClure, Ruling Elders, R. J. Southerland, B. B. Carr and A. D Hicks, was appointed to orga nize the church The commission met the first Sunday in July 1903 and organized the church with the fol lowing members: Mrs. W. Patten, Mrs. W. F. Pat ten, Miss Nancy Patten, Mrs. Annie Hill, Mrs. George Sutton, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Cameron, Mrs. Martin Butler, Mr. and Mrs. E B. Sutton, Mr. N. B. Sloan. Mr. George Sut ton, Mr. David Davis, Mr. Lee Cher ry, Miss Hattie Byrd, Miss Bessie Byrd. iN. B. Sloan and E. B. Sutton were elected, ordained and Installed as elders. Lee Cherry and D. A. Cam eron were ordained as deacons. At the fall meeting of the Pres bytery held in Wallace in October 1903, the Commission, having made its report, was duly enrolled in the Wilmington- Presbytery1 -as.' Goshen CrWe Church, The- namewpa chant- ged later to the Calypso Presbyter- iaii Church and the contingent fee was set at $1.00. . The session of the churth met Oc tober 18, 1903 as the first Official meeting, to receive into. the com munion of the church Miss Lola Sutton and Herman Brodgen on con fession of faith. In the fall pi 1904 the first protracted meeting . was held by Rev.' Peter Mclntyre as sisted by Rev. N. B. Cahady and Mr. Andrew Burr . of Chadbourn. ' Mr. Burr was In charge of the singing. It was late in the fall, the nights were chilly, the people were cold due to unfinished buildjng. It could not be heated, the seats were un comfortable, but people came and eleven persons were received into the communion of the church, which brought the enrollment to 34 members. After the protracted meeting Mr. Burr taught a singing class for the community. The Wilmington Presbytery met with the Calypso Church in Octo ber 1905. The ladies served dinner on the grounds both days. The Rev. Mr. Mclntyre served the church faithfully until 1914 when he accepted a call to the Presbyteri an Church of Goldsboro. The church extended a call to Rev. J. W. Purcell of Palatka, Flo rida, which was accepted and was pastor of Calypso, Faison, and Mt. Olive churches until 1917 when a call came from the West which he accepted. In 1918 the group of churches ex tended a call to Rev. W. M. Baker, who was doing city mission work in Wilmington. Mr. Baker accepted the pastorate and under his lead ership and faithful work, the church began to grow spiritually and in crease in membership. The Wo man's Work was reorganized, Young Peoples Organization were start ed and appropriate literature was secured for the Sunday School un der the efficient guidance of Mr. and Mrs. Baker until 1929, when, after much meditation and prayer, Mr. Baker accepted a call which had been extended three times to the Presbyterian Church at Mebane. Mr. Baker was pastor for 12 years. The church was without a pastor for several months. A call was ex tended to Rev. J. I. Knight of the Holston Presbytery, which he ac cepted in September 1930. Under Mr. Knights leadership, the Edu cational Building was completed. For the first time, Sunday School classes had their own rooms. Mr. Knight was pastor of the Calypso church for twelve years, when he accepted a call to the Ashepole Presbytery In Rowland, N. C. Rev. B. E. Dotson accepted a call to the church In January 1943, but due to the regrouping of, churches by the Presbytery, the' Calypso Ctyurob,war grouped' with Faison and - Stanford., Mr, DoUoni aervad and loved the Calypso church'. He stayed jmly two years. He contin ued to be pastor of Mt. Olive and Bakers' churches. ' v-iD On December 4, 1945 a call was extended to Rev. J, Murphy Smith, who at that time was in the service of the United States Army. In JanT uary 1946 Mr. Smith accepted the call and moved to Faison. to take up work in the pastorate. Mr. Smith never was too tired to visit those in need end it was through his sin cere efforts that for. the first time the Men of the Church had their organization. Mr. Smith resigned as pastor in 1951 to accept a call from the First Presbyterian Church at New Bern. 1 Again the church was without a pastor for many months. In Decem ber 1951 the call was extended to Rev. Taylor O. Bird of Tennessee, which was accepted. Mr. Bird be came pastor in January and is still serving the church faithfully. .
