Caswell County Church History: Yanceyville Presbyterian Church
On Sunday, 7 November 1942, the new religious education extension (annex) to the Yanceyville Presbyterian Church building was dedicated. Presiding was Reverend Roy F. Whitley, pastor of the historic church, which was still intact with the original chandelier, slave balconies, pews, and pulpit furniture.
Samuel M. Bason, Chairman of the Board of Deacons, presented the new structure to the church on behalf of the building committee. Dr. Stephen A. Malloy, M.D., Clerk of the Session, accepted the $15,000 building on behalf of the congregation. It was constructed with over-sized bricks to match those in the old building and to "preserve its antiquity." Plans for the future included a porch for the front, sidewalks, and a spacious lawn around the church.
Mrs. Samuel M. Bason was the soloist at the ceremony.
