According ' to.' church history, the late Elbert 'White gave the land to build the little church oni i Mrs, Mattie Perry White donated . the money, ; so the church was named "White Mem orial Church." . It was started in 1915 and completed in 1917 with the Rev. J. M. Ormond as the first pastor who left before the. church -was completed, but returned for the dedication ser vice. . - Stewards and trustees of the Burgess Church were the late C. B. Parker, Whit Mathews, Sidney Sutton, :' Jr., W. Robins Blanchard nd Stephen Elliott. , ' In January of . 1929, "White Memorial Church", voted and was consolidated with the Hert ford ' Methodist' Church with a membership of 74.
