ANOTHER OLD STONE CIILKCH
11Y UKV. W1LUAM A. WKST, D. D.
The Fulton Republican of July
18 contains au interesting sketch,
by the Rev. John L. Grove, of the
old "Stone church," near Web
ster Mills, built in 1828.
This has suggested the publish
ing of a sketch of a stone church
at McConnollsburg, erected one
year prior to that at Webster
Mills. What the writer has to
say will be based almost exclu
sively on documentary evidence
ITS ORIGIN AND TIME OF EUKCTION
By the resignation of the Rev.
Isaac Keller April 13, 1824, the
Great Cove (or McConnellsburg)
Presbyterian church was left
without a pastor. When in this
condition it was visited - by Mr.
Merrick A. Jewett, a young man
and a licentiate who preached and
labored among the people with
great acceptance.
At the fall meeting of the Pres
bytery of Carlisle Sept. 1825 Mr.
Jewett appeared and asked to be
received as a member of that
body, presenting testimonials of
having been licensed to preach
the gospel by the Association of
North Worcester (Congregation
al) and having been ordained July
14, 1823 by a council of the Con
gregational church composed of
ministers and lay delegates, "con
vened by letters missive.". This
was the first intimation had that
Mr. Jewett was not a Presbyteri
an minister.
Though Mr. Jewett's creden
tials were not deemed entirely
satisfactory, Presbytery cxposs
ed its willingness to receive him
on condition of his accepting the
Westminster Confession of Faith.
Hereupon Mr. Jewettt withdrew
his application for membership
and requested the return of his
credentials. His request was
complied with.
Shortly after this had taken
place and upon the same day com
missioners from the Great Cove
congregation appeared in Presby
tery and presented a call for the
pastoral services of Mr. Jewett.
Presbytery very properly declin
ed to place the call in his hands,
on the ground that he was not a
member of the body. This occa
sioned great disappointment not
only to thecommisioners but also
to the congregation; for many of
the people had become greatly at
tached to Mr. Jewett. Presby
tery sent one of its members, the
Rev. Amos A. McGinley, to Mc
Connellsburg to preach to the
congregation and explain its ac
tion. Mr. Jewett did not how
ever withdraw from the field, as
a sense of propriety would seem
to have dictated, but returned
and continued his labors during
the following year.
The congregation having learn
ed by the foregoing occurrence
that Mr. Jewett was a Congrega
tional or Independent minister
and still desiring to have him for
their pastor sent to the Presby
tery of Carlisle at its meeting
September 26, 1826 the following
"Reference," viz:
"Whether a certain rule found
in the General Assembly's Di
gest, edition 1820, page 297, as a
plan of union between the Pres
byterians and Congregationalists
in the new settlements could be
applied to the congregation of
Great Cove without infringing on
the rules or constitution of the
church." Presbytery answered
this "Reference" in the negative
on itio tvo-fold ground that Mc
Connellsburg was not a new set
tlement and there were no Con
gregationalists there.
Notwithstanding this, Mr. Jew
ett returned (as he had done the
year before) and continued his
labors. This he did In Aaanna
the authority of Presbytery; con
sequently on Sabbath, Dec. 81,
1826 the door of the Presbyterian
church was closed against him.
Mr. Jewett then went to Balti
more to visit and confer with his
friend and old preceptor Dr. Dun
can. In the latter part of Janua
ry 1827 ho returned, preaching
at Fort Loudon on hitj way buck.
On the following Sabbath, Feb.
4th, he preached in the McCon
nellsburg school house standing
on the roar of the Presbyterian
church lot. The following Sab
bath, Feb. 11th he preached at
Fort Loudon and at Mercersburg.
On the 18th he preached in the
McConnellsburg school house.
Thus he continued to preach al
ternately, as a rule, between Mc
Connollsburg and Fort Loudon.
On the 10th day of March, 1827,
those in the Presbyterian church
who still adhered to Mr. Jewett
and some others entered into an
agreement or subscription which
is as follows:
"We, the undersigned persons
do promise to contribute towards
the building of a house of worship
in or near the town of McCon
nellsburg, for the society at pres
ent under the care of the Rev. M.
A. Jewett. the following sums or
items annexed to our names,
it is to be understood that
when there is no preaching in
said house by a person employed
or invited by said society, it is
then to be free for the use of any
other regular preacher.
Witness our hands this 10th
day of March 1827,David Hunter,
John Pettitt, George Hoke J. T.
McClellan, Henry Hoke, Peter
Tice, Nathaniel Pettitt, J. Wilson
Park, John Culler, James Agnew
G. W. Darrah, John Cook, Jacob
Cook, William Mclutire, Elipha
let Smith, Thomas Allender.
David Fore, Samuel Shimer, John
Jones, W. Bishop, John Tetwiler
James Austiu, David Agnew."
This house of worship was
erected on the North east corner
of a field belonging to G. W. Dar
rah, just across the road or street
from tho Presbyterian houso of
worship, and in its earlier history
was designated "The Stone
church," whilst the regular Pres
byterian house of worship was
generally called "The Brick
church," Tho Stone church was
completed by the fall of 1827. Un
der date of Dec. 2, 1827 wo have
the record: "Mr. Jewett preached
to-day in the new meeting house.
There exists in certain quarters
the opinion that this house of
worship was built in 1834 as a
union church, and that it 'has
been occupied by the Reformed
congregation ever since that date.
. But the foregoing facts and
dates, which wo stand ready to
establish on documentary evi
dence entirely overthrow this
theory alike as to date and char
acter of the building, showing
that it was built seven years be
fore the date given and that it
was a union church. As to the
claim for. occupancy, it will be
shown that it did not take place
for least seven years after the
date 1834.
BY WHOM THE CHUHCH WAS
FIRST OCCUPIED.
The purpose of its erection has
in the foregoing been distinctly
pointed out. Accordingly, it was
regularly occupied by the Rev. Mr.
Jewitt or by someone "employed
or invited" by those who in the
beginning of the enterprise were
the friends and adherents of Mr.
Jewitt. The house was thus reg
ularly occupied, ordinarily every
alternate Sabbath, in connection
with Fort Loudon. Under the
pastorate of Rev. Isaac Keller,
then pastor of McConnellsburg
church, a Presbyteriau church
had been organized at Ft. Loudon
in 1823. After Mr. Keller had
left in 1824 and Mr. Jewett had
come upon tho Held tho following
year, the latter preached at Mc
Connellsburg and Loudon ordi
narily on alternate Sabbaths, just
as Mr. Keller had been accustom
ed to do. While Rev. Mr, Kenne
dy of Welsh Run by appointment
of Presbytery supplied the Mc
Connellsburg church, he also sup
plied the church at Ixradon on
alternate Sabbaths with Mr. Jew
ett. After Mr. Kennedy discon
tinued his labors in 1833, the
church fell almost entirely into
the hands of Mr. Jewett and his
successor; and disintegration fol
lowed in the coiirso of time, as it

The above gives tho result of
tho game played by our team
against St. Thomas at the latter
phace on Saturday last. It does
not, however, toll the tale of tho
game. The score dots not prop
erly express the superiority of
our club over theirs uot only in
hallplaying but in gentlemanly
conduct '
Never was a visiting team treat
ed more shamefully by a home
team and citizens than was our
team last Saturday.
We were 'told, before playing
the game, that it would he im
possible for our team to win from
St. Thomas on their own grounds.
Their reputation for meanness
having traveled over both Frank
lin and Fulton.
Pitcher Wagner having a glass
arm, was unable to accompany
the team, so tho manager secured
the services of Frank Bowden, at
Loudon. When tho game was
called at 3:15 p. m., St. Thomas
immediately protested against
Bowdeu pitching, but our boys
were firm for Bowden or no game;
and they seeing that our boys
could not be bluffed, began the
the game. From start to finish
the St. Thomas players and their
rooters, continually hurled un
called for and indecent cries at all
our players especially ut How
den. '
Tho umpire was all one si Jed:
for an intelligent, professional
man, he is the meanest and most
dishonest umpire our boys were
ever up against.
They deserve much credit for
winumg this game against such
odds; and although the manager
of the St. Thomas team begged
Manager Dalbey for another
rr w U.. 1 ,1 4. H-.H .11 .
burg, he very wisely refused to
allow our team to cross bats again
with such a team of ungenerous
players.
Some of the features of the
game were the superb pitching
of Bowden, a sensational catch
by Reisuer; the general good bat
ting of our team, aud the quiet
demeanor of all our players dur
ing the trip.
Our boys are all well pleased
by tho way they were taken care
of by Landlord Miller.
Tho Upton base ball team play
ed our home team iu this place
last Wednesday, and were defeat
ed in a score of 137. The Upton
team is composed of nino lirst
rate fellows..
