Methodist Church Will Be Dedicated At Yanceyville: 1917


Yanceyville, May 4. -- "The new Methodist church at Yanceyville will be dedicated Sunday, May 6, and Rev. J. C. Wooten, presiding elder of the Durham district will do the preaching.

"This is the old Methodist church building that has been remodeled, stuccoed on the outside with a pure white finish, and finished on the inside in mahogany.

"Two new memorial windows have been placed in the church in memory of some of the pioneers of early Methodism in Yanceyville. This will be a regular home coming day for all friends of this church who reside at a distance as well as those who live near."
