Samuel Smith, Sr., and Adam
Broom were the first deacons
and Samuel Smith was the first
clerk. He it was who prepared
the first roll and wrote the first
minutes. He served the church
in that capacity for two years
and was succeeded by Francis O.
Smith, who served till 1836.
Birch M. Roberts until
1839; Lewis Jackson till 1843; A.
Beck till 1844, when F. O. Smith
was again elected to the office,
serving till 1847; Sterling Ivey
followed and served only four
months and was succeeded by
Ely Lester, who served until
1849; Benjamin A. Heath served
from then until 1850; R. K. Beck
served till 1852; Jably M.
Thompson followed and served
until 1855; Joseph A. Smith un
til 1857; A. J. Rhodes till 1858.
O. Smith again was clerk and
served for ten years. W. F.
Ileath was elected clerk in 1868,
with S. F. Ivey as assistant. The
assistant served until 1877. Then
Mr. Heath served until 1884,
when the assistant again took
over the hooks and is still serv
ing the church in 1932.
It is gratifying to see with
what patience and endurance
some of these men served their
church. Rev. J. W. Ellington
served -as pastor twenlty-six
years. The records show that
all these years were not served
but from them, we
that he would resign and
remain away for several years
again he would hear the
calling him and he would
return to his beloved flock.
Radford Gunn served twenty
consecutive years. Rad
as he was familiarly
called must have been a very
strong character. He served
faithfully and well the churches
Warren county and they im
much of his strength and
virility.
S. F. Ivey, better known as
is rounding out his sixty
year as clerk of the
Such consistant service
far beyond the ordinary and
much praise and appre
from his constituents
and he will certainly “have
reward” in the beyond.
