Grier Plonk used his mules and drag pan from his frrm to dig the foundation of First Presbyterian Church 40 years ago this month and J. B. Thomasson and C. E. Neisler, Jr. personally supervised the construction of the building, the latter laying the stones in the arch over the steps leading to the altar, a labor of love carried on in an exceedingly hot area. This history is gleaned from "Reminiscences, 1937” compUed by Mrs. W. T. Weir and Rev. Gary Bryant, with assistance from Mrs. P. D. Patrick of Summerfield, S. C., wife of the pastor at the time of the construction. Believing a bricklayer’s statement that a penny placed behind the first brick laid in a church gives good luck, young Paul and Lawrence Patrick each placed a penny behind the first brick. The brick is at the rear of the building under the rest rooms area. An accident with a happy ending occurred when Wright Falla, a bricklayer, fell from the tower he was buUding to the floor, landing on top of his assistant and knocking him flat. Mr. Falls got up ex claiming, "If this hand’t been a church, I’d a been killed.’’ ITie assistant missed work for two days. Beverly Patterson brought from the gold mine a ope inch by two and one half-inch rock, containing gold particles to be placed in the mantel in the Ladies Bible Classroom. Snowguards on the roof were the first ones used in this section of North Carolina. Rosehued, sanded bricks were made in Tennessee and shipped by rail. Completion of the structure was delayed briefly by the late delivery of the stained glass windows. The glass cutter, the aged last member of Smith Brothers in Philadelphia, had entered it in a stained glass show In Paris, where it was awarded first place. Reshlpment of the master piece across the Atlantic required more time than the artist had anticipated. is presently serving. The beautiful stained glass chancel window in three sections was designed for the church by a young artist from Hiaigary. He and Mrs. C. E. Neisler planned the story depicted in the window. Ihe same designer pUnned the memorial side windows. The glass in the chancel window varies in thickness from one-fouith inch to one and three-eighths inch to give the brilliance desired in die various colors. The thickest pieces are those used In the The brightest colors are different as the sun moves. In the morning, the reds ana greens predominate; in the afternoon, the blues and yellows are outstanding. ’The side windows com plement the altar decorations in color and general desi^. The scenes and persona in the chancel window are: Moses, Jesus with little children; John; the Birth of Jesus; The Tyanafiguration; Jesus before Pilate; James Three Wise Men; Isaiah; Elijah; Jesus the Good Shepherd; Peter and Jesus In The Carpentry Shop. On the church’s 40th an niversary, Rev. Bryant said, "By God’s Orac^ we have been provided a place. May He, through us, make it His church.’’ While the architects were in Kings Mountain they saw the church seal in Rev. P. D. Patrick’s study and asked to borrow it. When die stained glass windows for the sanc tuary were delivered, there was included a gift to the church from the designers’ the little seals in the front door. Mrs. Patrick recalled that “so far as we could determine, they are die first made of stained glass.’’ When the cornerstone was finally laid and the building dedicated on Dec. S, 1937, the contents of the old church cornerstone were moved to the new location on E. King St (My three pastors have served the church since construction of the present building — the late Dr. P.
