Apropos of the recent celebrations of
the anniversary of the birthday of John
Wesley threnghout the country, it is of
interest to note the fact that there is
living in Athens now a grand daughter
of one of the members of the first Meth
odist Society organized in England by
John and Charles Wesley.
Mrs. Maria E. Nickerson, wife of
; Oxpt. Reuben N.ckersou, one of Athens’
most prominent citizens, is the grand-
J daughter of Mary Millington, of Gos-
fleld Hall, England, who was a member
; of the first Methodist society.
Mrs. Nickerson has in her possession
a hymn book that belonged to her
grandmother This old hymn book waB
published tu 1783 by Roland Hill, A M.,
and In it is the inscription : “Presented
to Mary Millington by Charles Wesley,
December, 1783, she being a member of
his society.” This book was banded to
Mary Millington by Charles Wesley
himself. It is greatly prized by its
present owner, Mrs Nickerson.
