Grace Baptist Church 1847-1859 East Smithfield PA Transcribed by Pat SMITH Raymond |
|
|
East Smithfield June 5, 1847
Note: I found this small notebook recently in a box of things previously owned by my grandparents. I am pretty sure that this is the Church now known as Grace Baptist Church located on the road from East Smithfield to Ulster in an area known as Riggs. One of the teachers mentioned is Johanna Killey, who was my 5th Great Grandmother. Many of these people are buried in the Thomas Cemetery, Riggs, Pa. I have not changed the spelling even when I know it is incorrect, and some of the spelling of the names change from page to page.
The first part of this book is a
record of the people that borrowed books from the Sabbath School Library.
I am typing the names of the people who borrowed the books, but not the
names of books.

The first Sunday School in this vicinity was organized at the school house near Dr. Hills in 1847 by the exertions of Eld. T. Miller, but was discontinued in 1848. In the Summer of 1853 it was re-organized through the instrumentality of Mr. Joseph Jones, an Agent for the A.S.S.U. and an addition procured to the Library. Mr. S. C. King was chosen Superintendent, and Dr. Hill librarian; in 1854 Mr. L. B. Scott was chosen Supt. and Dr. Hill re-chosen Librarian. No statistics of the school for 1853-54 have been preserved. The only death during those two years was Maria Ward, a teacher, who died in Sept. 1853. Librarian
