David Sampson (was) a preacher there. Mrs. Pierce Foster born in old house in 1901. Professor Hodges conducted a school in a brick or building near his home. There was much jealousy and feuding between the two schools and Quakers Y finally gave up and moved out and left.

We did, however, find that the Augusta church was established August 27, 1898. We learned that the Dutchman's Creek meeting in the Fork community joined with the meeting in August on July 12, 1902. The records do not continue much longer thereafter. These two mission churches never did become regular organized monthly meetings. Ed _,,,Of the two individuals that you mention (Miss Annie -.and David Sampson), firs. Annie Wil- liams is still living.
