PROSPER CHURCH SITE

Democrat, February 27, 1902

Selected Last Friday by the Methodist for Rock Hill Church

CONTRACT FOR MOVING LET

Bethel Church will be moved to Emmerson -- Campmeeting to be held at Usual Place

Friday a committee representing the Methodist Church, South, selected a site at Prosper for their new church building.

Dr. A. T. Bryant of this city donated a lot but the committee decided to have more room, so bought another one by its side. The committee was composed of Charles Smith, Chris Settle and Bob Crockett who were assisted by Rev. L. L. Naugle, pastor, in charge, and Presiding Elder F. A. Rosser. The Rock Hill church will be moved at once to its new site in Prosper. Two desirable lots have been purchased by the same denomination in the new town of Emmerson to which the Bethel church will be moved.

Contracts have already been let for moving both of these churches to their new locations.

The church will retain its land, about 15 acres, at Bethel which will continue to be used for campmeeting purposes as it has been the custom to held every summer for many years past.
