Early Methodist History Recalled
By James Persky
This week's article Is
taken entirely from the
14 1910 issue of The
Bartlett Tribune as follows:
"The following paper was
prepared and read by Mrs.
Robert Rowntree at the
of the Methodist Church
on New Years' eve and Is
quite interesting.
"Some 35 or more years
ago the few Methodists of this
vicinity worshipped in a
school house a few milcski

following preachers on this
work from 1876 - 83 - Revs.

A. Bally. Law and later Bro
Melugln. Sometime between

coming with other Metho-
dists of the town the nucleus'
of Methodism in Bartlett.
"During these years
preaching services were held
in a store later in tho old
school house and finally in
the Baptist Church. Of the
pastors of this time we can
only mention Rev. J. D.
Crockett from 1887-89.
"By '89 our strength was
such that Bartlett was taken
from Salado Circuit and the
Bartlett and Granger circuit
formed with Rev. H. A. Boaz
as pastor.
"Bro. Boaz found us
without either church or

stay with us our first house of
worship was erected at a cost
of $2000. Also two rooms in
which the pastor lived he

necessity I can't say.)

succession have been Revs.

Boaz J. R. B. Hall J. W.
Story J. G. Miller W. C.
Hilburn R. A. Walker M. A.
Turner E. F. Boone and
Chenoweth.
"Our first church was
dedicated by Rev. Bishop
under Bro. Boaz's ministry.
In 1894 while Bro. Hall was
pastor this building was
wrecked and the parsonage
damaged by a storm. At
once forces were rallied and
both rebuilt at about the
same cost In 1896 both
church and parsonage were
destroyed by fire. With the
same zeal and liberality the
present church was erected
in 1897 at a cost of $3000 and
parsonage in 1898 at $1500.
This last church was dedica-
ted by Bishop Duncan.
"In the early days of
Methodism in Bartlett good
old fashioned camp meetings
were held every summer on
the creek. The last meeting of
this kind was in the summer
of 1893. Since then we have
had protracted meetings
from one to two each year.
"Of these Mulkey's meet-
ing in 1895 and Birdwell's in
1905 are most noted for
visible results.
"Three District Confer-
ences have met in Bartlett.
The first in 1892 the second in
1897 the third In 1808. In 1903
the Georgetown District
Missionary Institute met
with us and in 1907 we
entertained the District
League and Sunday School
Convention.

comparisons between pre-
sent statistics and twenty
years ago. Then wo had
neither church nor parson-
age and a small tho' earnest
membership preaching ser-
vices once each month.
