We might, perhaps, have some slight idea in regard to vexatious incidents of a financial character, judging from observation or otherwise, but will name but one or two, and leave all the rest to conjecture. In the year, or rather in the winter of 1871 and 1872 the east end of the church building was blown almost entirely out by a severe storm, so as to cost quite an expense to repair it, just at a time when money was most difficult to obtain, and when it was almost impossible to do the work, both discouraging factors. Then in 1919 a fire occurred in the parsonage, which burned the entire roof and second story, causing quite a loss of over one thousand dollars covered by insurance, but still something to worry over. During the number of years already named there have been fifteen different presiding elders on the district, the first Rev. John Hayden, and the last the present incumbent, Rev. J. M. Brown, whose names would probably not be recognized unless it would be that of T. B. Hughes, D. C. Smith, Geo. Minear or Rev. John B. Hill.
