Eighteen members were received into the church during this time. The attendance in all organizations continued to grow. Bible Schools were held each year with such enthusiasm under the leadership of Rev. J. W. Foster. In this year (during the depression) various projects were undertaken by the women to raise money for the church. A total of thirty women invested $.06 each towards sugar to make candy and jam to be resold for a profit. At the end of the year this. -yielded $34-24. The following donations were sent to Barium Springs Orphan- age: 3 quilts, 6 towels, 3 pairs pillow cases, and 138 quarts of canned fruit. The Auxiliary also gave 68 quarts of canned fruit to our pastor and his wife. 1939 This is our crowning year, we have finished and paid for our beautiful church, thanks to our wonderful leader, Rev. J. W. Foster, who has worked so tirelessly in this field.

Hall supplied as Supt, in the absence of her husband, whose business took him away from home and church. 1941 In March, 1941) our pastor announced his resignation. The congregation regretted this deeply for had it not been for his spiritual guidance and leaders4ip through the beginning and growing years of our Bixby church, we feel we could not have made the rapid strides of progress. Rev. and Mrs. Foster carne to us when our thoughts of a church were in its infancy. In the ten years they were here .they organized the people, purchased the land, and built our beautiful church of native rock which is estimated at $10,000. Our Sunday School enrollment was 125 and the average for five years was 70. The church membership at that time was 93 and the Woman's. Auxiliary and Young People's Work grew rapidly. Rev. and Mrs. Foster's devotion and untiring efforts will always be remembered by everyone. The work that they have done here will live forever.

These leaders supplied until 19.3. a 1 1942, On April 20, 19.1, Rev. Foster presented Rev. E..W, Thompson Ab from Glade Valley to supply for us until we could secure a pastor. The Rev. Mr. Thompson preached his first sermon April 27, 1911. Everyone liked him and we would like to have had him for our regular -lo.- pastor; however, this would not be arranged. Rev. E. H. Thompson left January, 1942, when Rev. Dulin accepted our call. Rev. Dulin j preached his first sermon for us January 20; 1912:. During the summer m -j of this year he conducted.a Vacation Bible School. Mrs. Dulin was a- Y elected President of the Woment s Auxiliary in April, 194.2.

V7 W Under their leadership a fund was started to erect a bell tower, however this was not completed until 1947. -11•• Rev. Dulin took in 10 new members while serving -here, and m z� with the help of Mrs. Eva Wilson, Mr. J. C. Barney and Mr. W. T.LU -11 Meyers, a fund was raised to buy a used piano. Y C; U O On July 25, 1943, we had Ralph Ritchie and Bill Summers, w students of the Theological Seminary to hold revival services. These men were well liked and their services were well attended. From these services, five members were united with the church. '2hey also assisted in the Vacation Bible School under the leader- ship of Rev. Dulin. In September, Rev. Dulin asked the session and congregation to act on his resignation, that he might accept a call to the Roseland Church in the Fayetteville Presbytery. During the time of Rev.,Dulin's stay, the Sunday School attendance dropped from 70 to about 10. A complete reorganization in every department became inevitable. 1944 - 1945 Dr. George Mauze, one of the South's outstanding Theologists, supplied intermittently for us from October, 1944, to July 1945, when Mr. Frank Washburn, a junior at the Seminary came to us. He was here for six weeks, held services and reorganized,t�ie Young People's Work. Others who helped carry on the work during this period were Rev. Ralph Buckhanan, Rev. T. F. Haney, Rev. J. Be Gorden, Rev. G. R. Warmeldolf and Rev. E. H. Thompson. -12- V� � 1 • �Aok'N 1946 Dr. Robert King of Johnson City, Tenn., came to us early in the Spring of 1946. He was pastor of the Mocksville Church and came to supply for us. He first met with our Session on April 22, 1946 and was elected Moderator of the Session on May 6, 1946; On May 9, 1946, officers for the Sunday School were elected as follows: Mr. Turner Robertson, Supt., N. C. Potts, Asst, Supt., J; H. Robertson, Sect. and Treas. Under their leadership the Sunday School was reorganized and new teachers elected. The Sunday School grew and much interest was shown by all. Mr. Robertson served in the office of Supt. until April, 1947, when his business took him away from Bixby. Much credit is due him for his splendid work in all departments. In July, Dr. King began his first revival, and at that time twenty-one new members were taken into the church. One member joined the Methodist Church. During the revival a Bible School was conducted in the after- noons under the leadership of Dr. King, Mr. Harrison Taylor, a'student for the ministry, and Miss Martha Gammon from Wheaton College, Wheaton, Ill. At the close of the school a collection of $30.00 was given to Mr. Taylor and Miss Gammon. Because of the increase in Sunday School attendance, it was necessary to add two new teachers in September. In October, Dr. King held another revival, at the close of which thirteen more members were taken into the church. -13 - 15 v m In December, the following new church officers were elected: u o Elders: Mr. I. E. Hendrix and Mr. Paul Cornatzer. -= r Deacons: Mr. Will Boger, Mr. Clyde Cornatzer and Mr. George Cornatzer On December 22, 1946, Dr. King preached his last sermon for us. When he came to us we realized we had a great and wonderful man of God. His record for a years work speaks for him; it also speaks for the people who came in contact with him. To know Dr. King is an inspiration. Following is the annual report of the Woman's Auxiliary for the year: Annual Offering $39.05 Thirteen new church members joined our auxiliary Seven meetings were held with an average attendance of five An important part was played by the auxiliary in helping in the Bible School; intertaining the school workers; writing all church members urging them to send children to the.school; and $5.00 was donated for support of the school. 1947 - 1948 During the spring months of 1947, various preachers supplied for us until we could call a regular preacher. On May 11, 1947, Mr. J. W. Foster returned to hold a service for us. Everyone was delighted to �have Mr. and Mrs. Foster with us again in the church that he built. On that day, Mr. Foster met with the Session and was Moderator at 4. the meeting. He also took in a new church member. We hope the Fosters will come back to see us often. c, J Z FIRST CHURCH WEDDING p,u December 17, 1947 m -j _> CL cn C5v o Miss Patty Floyd Cornatzer, daughter of Mrs. Della Mae and 2 Romie Shepard Cornatzer, was married to Mr. Norman Stacy Chaffin, son of Inez and Stacy Chaffin on December 17, 1947.

Davie County Public Libra fy Mocksville, NC DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Nov. 29, 2001 Members of Bixby Presbyterian Church in Advance walk the track they hope will be line with luminaries for the: Community Walk for Davie County Hospice. — Photo by Mike Barnhardt Peacewalk Bixby Presbyterian Plans Benefit For Davie Hospice By .lackie Seabolt Davie County Enterprise Record Members of Bixby Presbyte- rian Church in Advance are spon- soring a Community Peacewalk this Sunday at the walking track adjacent to the thumb. All proceeds from the walk will go to Davie County Hospice and the church is extending an invitation to all to participate. Money will be raised for the event through the sale of lumi- naries at $3 a piece that can be purchased in memory or honor of a loved one. The event is an idea that stemmed from meetings involv- ing church session member Doris Dillon, and co -pastors Elizabeth Parker and Elinor Wilbum.They sent letters to appmximately 30 area churches inviting them to participate in the event. They thought at this time of year many people who have lost loved ones would want to re- member them in a special way for the holidays. "We'd like to get this out into the community ... and make the luminaries available to people who might not otherwise hear 4a Davie about it." said Wilburn. Dillon. age 70. has dealt di- rectly with Davie Hospice dur- ing the illness of her late hus- band."They are wonderful," she said. Although Bixby also sponsors families at this time of year they wanted to do something extra. "Mis is just a different way to raise the money for people who need it, and it's a way to reach out to the community.' said Parker. Those interested can call the church at 998-6318 to get infor- mation aboutpurchasing a lumi- County Public W" Mocksville, NC nary. before the event with the name of your loved one written on it. or you may purchase them at the church track the night of the walk.

Hot chocolate and light refreshments will be served and there will be a short service to remember those who have died. The church hopes to sell enough luminaries to light the entire quarter -mile track.

Bixby Presbyterian Church is located more than 300 mules from Atlanta, Georgia on Fork Bixby Road, Mocksville. Church member Peggy Fos- ter says it's a mystery how the quilt ended up in Atlanta, but the church is grateful to the woman who found it. "She saw it in the antiques store, bought it, and gave it back to the church," Foster says. The words Bixby Presbyte- rian Mocksville, NC are em- broidered on one of the quilt squares. Foster says that's how the woman connected the quilt with the chumb. The quilt is dated around 1935, pastor Pete Peterson says. "We didn't want it stuck away in a trunk, we wanted it to be seen." Brought To Davie So the church had the fin- ished quilt framed and mounted to the floor in the church's hallway for all to see. Advertising was bought and put on the quilt. "I know a lot of the names on here," Foster says while scanning the quilt. "My daddy's name is on here." A list of the elders names at that time appear on the quilt. Mary Robertson's name is stitched on the quilt, "She's the one who got the church going." Foster recalls. . The pink and blue bed cov- ering was worked by Margaret Cope. Every square has been em- broidered except one in the up- per right comer. Foster didn't know the reason the one square was left blank. Some of the other members of the church believe there were additional quilts com- pleted.'They believe there was a total of three," Foster says. Pastor Peterson hopes some of the names on the quilt will bring others with some knowl- edge of its history forward. "We can see a lot of history on this thing," Peterson says. y5 �1 Q O A C C m L N F C o N a U 0 t0 .LOO� L a J C N, 0 m 4� P� CLL 0 c: m ¢ S O F O C m O m L - E COON oEc �.J pmr� N(pam a m O L) -=m L `E 'yy"JmM 20C) :_c'ow mE�a moc� ct o= C'5,,m m W" m' O1 02z r cEE0 my '-`Om Eric E m m'c uxyma� mcQcW m3 m.m v._ mm� <` � -m-m _(� m w `/�1tmmi 60 d 3 O cN `o c C) -Z T O � T 0 0 O N L S N O rnL 2a 0 L N l0 N d L L 7 O L cr �R 3 s�'z 'a c 'y U z 3 d o v Vim, " c d 3 - M 9 c SLI r.i G C N Q O �` 'T w m O E p •� O L 10 ^ R G Pt _ [ o E L c c H Ym 0°K<rLi»w�v°O� ft��..t� Cy v E 0 U C `c s^ a 2Ei Oyid y n :? 3 .i0.v vo. ,t B n 30 r'qq7 Z a m u gW o oo- �°,w maw°es ufx1U P: Lil 6a i 9C J Picture of Bixby Presbyterian Church Davie County Public Library Mocksville, North Carolina ri y8 ,N r„{ Bixby Presbyterian Church From Churches of Davie County, North Carolina A Photographic Study by Thomas L.
