A secol).d time in the deen, it was referred to as the," wthod ist
Sooiety". He expressed the consideration as, "th. sum of Five
dollars, but mostly with a view of advancing the wishes ani
interest of the said , ani the erection of Bird' s Chapel, as
a house of worship, to which sacred oause ir has been dedicated".
A third time~that if at any time hereafter said ethodist Society
shallbe dissolved, the bUilding or house of worship as aforeaaid,
shall from any cause cease to re used for' ire purpo se, then in
that case, all tre right,title and interest shall revert to him, : ' "
the said lexander H.Stephens~ In 1910, the lot reverted to the
priVy in his est te, the Stephens numental Association.
The bUilding as a neat, well constructed ans commodious
church. An itinerant painter came through to n. He had the hand of
a m ster. To the raar of tbe pUlpit, across the back, he painted
an opel). bible. Across it were the worde,"HOLY BIBLE n • bove it the
ord, "FAITH". This painting lingers in tbe memories of thosewho
attended as children. 11 have passed tre meridi3n of life. Mr.
Ralph W.Golucke, Clerk of th9 Superior Court who furnished the
record information herein, and who attended the Sunday School says,
av"ry ohurch should have such ~ painting fl It lelft an irradicable:•
impression on the minds of the children.
THE SIXTH DEED. On Sept.2nd,1911. C.H.& R.vi.Golucke oonveyed by
deed a lot to the Southwest of tre Courthouse, whereon Mr. J.B.Bird
now resides.Thi w~s a convenient spot for t~ Church. By strenous
efforts. the small comgrega tion succeede in erecti g aan a ttractive
building. The oongregation felt that it ha aooomplished a financial
feat. Then came the dedicatio . :.11 felt hapl)~r. But, it as ill
fated. A cyclone of destructive power hit Crawfordville, on the
18th day of JUlY,1918. ltv destroyed this Church, and also th'e
Presbyterian, completely, tho~bh they were in different' sections
of town. Some sa id that it was the devil ork, a.nd that the
B ptlst Church, \.hicn was unhalDlIled, was giving hi no trouble.
Up to 1896, the resbyterians ~~d u the Methodist Church for
their ae~ices. In a cycle, the Presbyterians and the Methodists
again used the same bUilding for worship, temporarily-the
Court house
