PIONEER CHURCHF IN CELEBRATION

Memoirs of Elderly Minister Feature at First Pres- . byterian

One of the oldest churches .m Springfield will bold its 85th enak. versary celebration Sunday, the First Presbyterian, which the Fimat

Cumberland Presbyterian church dates as an organized church from 1844. but actually had been a mis- slovary point for 11 years previously. A tale of pioneer faith is bound up In the history of the First Presbyte- rian. Services dating from 1833 were held in a tinr loe scholo house locat- ed near a spring in the woods a half mile north of the point where the home of Captain George Jones stood In 1878. That point never has been definitely located, according to the Rev. Oscar Lee Black, present pastor.

Only Small Settlement

Springfield then was a tiny settle- iment on the edge of the Kickapoo prairie. A man named J. P. Camp: ' bell built a mile race track on the prairie near the church, much to the ! annoyance of the small congregation. but iater ne became converted to the faith, joined the church and put an end to his perfidious business ..

The original 13 signers of the church's constitution were John 8. Bigbee, S. B. Allen, Mary Hackney, James N. Younger. John T. Morton. C. B. Holland. H. Bnow, Lucinda Morton, Richard Younger. Emaline Holland. 8. H. Owens, Katherine Kimbrough and Susan Jultan, all of Importance in early Springfield his- tory. Later Eliza Sproul also signed the document.

H. Snow. C. B. Holland and S. B. Allen were the first three elders and C. B Allen the first clerk of sessions. C B. Holland served the church clerk for 41 years and as elder a mat- ter of 67 years, and according to Mr. Black. the development the church was largely due to Mr. Hol. land's devotion and Industry.

Church Ised Jointly

The first meeting place, called the "House of Worship." was used on al- ternate Sundays by the First Cum- . berland church and the Methodist church. Before 1844 the missionary : point bad been under the jurisdic- tion of the Arkansas Presbytery.

Three distinct churches were built upon the site at Olive street and

room for a large garage. During the Civil War the church was used as an arsenal and was bombarded, one shot passing completely through the edi- fice. The cornerstone of the last building was lald Atigust 24. 1890.

Work on the new structure riaing lat Dollison avenue and Cherry street. 1s progressing rapidly. Foundations are in and subfloor. Siritira: ste :. jatone and window frames hare . been delivered. It is hoped to be able to occupy the dalton HECHO church some i.mº in October
