tured by the efforts of devoted men
and women, who in spite of time
and effort required to establish
homes and businesses, still found
the necessary time for their church.
Meetings were held in homes, and
for a time in the first school house.
In 1844 the Trucksville Church
was incorporated, ‘and land was
purchased upon which ° the first
church building was erected. First
improvements and alterations were
made during the decade 1880-1890,
but in 1905-1907 the old church
was radically changed in its appear-
ance and accommodations. The
basement was excavated, a new
belfry was added, and the interior
was completely altered.
The year 1910 witnessed the com-
plete destruction of the reconstruct-
ed church by fire, and the following
year, on January 26, 1911, the

school attendance, and the limited
space available soon became hope-
lessly inadequate. Considerable
thought was given to various plans
of expansion, but with the small
areas available due to the church
being surrounded on three sides by
the cemetery, there was no simple
solution.
On May 13, 1957, it became
known that land could be purchased
adjacent to the church, and a plan-
ning committee was formed to see
what should be done. In Novem-
ber, 1957, a building committee was
organized, with Dr. Richard E.
Crompton, as chairman, and a final-
cial crusade was authorized by the
official board. This was successful,
plans - were drawn, and ground-
breaking ceremonies were held on
August 21, 1960. Construction of
the new Educational Building was
begun the following week.
The new structure has been built
with an eye to future expansion,
having sufficient space surrounding
it for additional buildings if and
when the need arises.

Philip Anderson’s Death
Shock To Community
The death of Philip H. Anderson,
52, of White Plains, was a shock to
older residents of Dallas, who re-
membered that his father, Harry
Anderson, was one of the former
owner-editors of the Dallas Post,
when the printing plant was in the
little building back of Paul Sha-
ver’s house on Huntsville Road.
Harry Anderson, starting in the
newspaper business when Arthur
Holbrook ran the paper, was Bur-
gess of Dallas or many years.
Philip was born here and spent
his early years in the community.
He returned to it June 10, when
he was buried in Trucksville.
He had lived at White Plains only
three years, after a long residence
in Baltimore. He was associated as
Can
Co. or 22 years.
Mr. Anderson was a member of
George M. Dallas Lodge F & AM.
His mother, Mrs. Harry Anderson,
and two sisters, Miss Helen Ander-
son and Mrs. Kenneth King, live in
Dallas.
His wife, the former Elma Rob-
bins, was a Trucksville girl.
He leaves also a daughter,
Gretchen E. Anderson, a legal sec-
retary, graduate of the Katherine
School; and a son James, at Ran-
dolph Macon.
