Sharpshurg Baptist church on Sunday
last. Forty-five years ago it was our
privilege to serve this church as pastor,
but upon the occasion referred to above
we met only a few who worshiped there
during our pastorate. The record
shows that this church was organized in
1849, adopting the name, "Mt. Leb
anon,” which it bore until a few years
ago. While on this visit we dined with
Mr. Wm. Gay and family, in whose
home we had often been a guest while
serving as pastor of Glen Grove church,
in Fayette county. We also enjoyed a
brief visit with our old friend and
brother, Judge Angie North, now the
only surviving member of a once large
family.
