O Davie County Public Library Mocksviile, North Carolina u' ■X u tzt X V3l HISTORY OF FORK BAPTIST CHURCH In June 1793, a group of Christians met on the site of our present church building and organized themselves into a Baptist Church. They chose as a name for the new feliowship, Forks of the Yadkin Meetinghouse. The name was subsequently changed to Fork Baptist Meetinghouse, and later to Fork Baptist Church. The first Pastor was Rev. Benjamin Buckner. He lived a short distance south of the church site. On August 24 - 27, 1793, the Yadkin Baptist Association met with the Batons Meetinghouse located in what then was Rowan County and is now Davie County. At this session, Forks of the Yadkin Meetinghouse was admitted as a member of this association. In 1815, Rev. Buckner resigned as pastor and moved to the state of Georgia. His pastorate was for a period of 22 years. On September 15,1815, Rev. Joseph Pickler came as pastor. During his ministry there was a split in the church membership over the question of missions. Through the able leadership of Rev. Pickler, the majority of the members remained loyal to mission causes. The church clerk at that time was anti-mission and when he left the church fellowship with a number of others, he carried with him all of the church records kept up to that time. The records were never recovered. On May 24,1840, the church was saddened by the death of their beloved pastor who had so faithfully served them for a period of 25 years. From May 1840 through October 1852, 5 different pastorates served the church. In April 1852, C.W. Bessent, a member of the church, was ordained as a minister. In September 1852, he was asked to serve as supply pastor until a new pastor was called. In May 1853, he was elected as Pastor. Under Rev. Bessent's leadership, a new church building was constructed. The building committee composed of Benjamin Merrell, Rev. Bessent, and William Wyatt was appointed in November 1858. The building was completed for use in May 1862. By January 1863, the construction was complete in every respect. Today there is a pen and ink drawing of this building hanging near the library. The artist is one of our members, Glenda Hendrix Beard. Rev. Bessent resigned in September 1866, ending a pastorate of 14 years. In March 1869, the first Sunday School was organized. In the beginning there were three superintendents. They were Benjamin Merrell, A.H. Stewart, and William Foster. In 1879, the church completed the Fork Academy Building. Prof. C.A. Rominger, a Wake Forest College graduate, was chosen as the first principal. On July 30, 1893, the centennial services were held. Program participants were: Prof. John T. Alderman, Attorney Jacob Stewart, Rev. J.A. Spaight, Rev. T.S. Sprinkle, and Rev. C.S. Cashwell. In 1907, the church building that was completed during the church year 1862 -1863 was torn down and a new building was constructed. Also an arbor was built during 1907. While the new church building was being constructed, services were held in the Academy Building. The first church training organization was established in 1913. It was known then as the BYPU. J.R. Foster was the first director. In 1917, the church held the first homecoming. The 2nd Sunday in August was selected as the time for annual celebration and they have continued on that day since that year. In 1924, the first WMU was organized. Mrs. Blanche Burton was elected president. Mrs. Burton was the Church Clerk in 1926 when her home was destroyed by fire. The church minutes for the period beginning January 1,1917 through April 24,1926 were destroyed by the fire. Oavie County Pud::-:: LiDiai>2 ... Wawiu w ; \ ^ MocksvtilS, ^1 In 1929, the church authorized Prof. Wilson F. Merrell to write a history of the church. He completed his manuscript. A Concise History of Fork Baptist Church, in 1930 and on October 22,1930 read this history to the church. He died on June 21,1931 before the publication of the manuscript. Subsequent to this death the manuscript became lost and was later found by Mrs. Charles Utiey, the wife of a former pastor. The church instructed Mr. Johnson to publish the manuscript In 1957. In 1931, construction on the new Sunday School rooms was started. The two small rooms in the back of the sanctuary were torn away and a two story addition was constructed. The construction was finished In 1937. The long construction period was attributable to the state of the economy during these Depression Years. In 1948, a pastorium was completed. In 1949, Rev. Lonnie Fleming was called as our first full-time pastor. During the pastorate of Rev. A.M. Kiser, the church appointed P.M. Johnson as the first church historian in 1957. In 1958, the East educational wing of the church was completed. The first brotherhood was organized in 1958 with P.M. Johnson as the first president. In 1964, the church finished remodeling the old educational rooms In the back of the sanctuary and brick walls \were constructed around this section and the sanctuary. Rev. Del Suggs was pastor then. Rev. Roy Young was called as pastor in 1965. During his tenure, Rev. Young led two mission groups on trips to the midwest. The church recorded its highest Sunday School attendance on record averaging in the 270's during this time period. In 1966, Mr. Robert Lee Seaford completed 40 years as Sunday School Director. Rev. Yates King Wilkinson, Jr. was called as pastor in 1973. He began his work on March 26,1973. In July 1973, he led a group of 37 members on a mission trip to Elyria. Ohio. The first award was made from the Melissa Merrell Scholarship Fund in 1974. The recipient was Roger Cope, a student at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, N.C. In 1976, our country observed the 2aoth year of our independence. The church wanted to do something special for this celebration. A committee was appointed to bring this about. The committee decided to publish our first church directory. Subsequently, other directories were published in 1982 and 1990. Rev. Wilkinson finished his work as pastor of our church on March 22,1981. Rev. Gordon L. Joyner began his pastorate on August 30,1981. He came from the Highlands Baptist Church, Hope Mills, N.C. On February 20, 1983, the church authorized P.M. Johnson to compile and publish the booklet, Fork Baptist Church Cemeterv Directory. The cemetery was established In October 1849. This publication contains a record of burial through April 1983. On March 16, 1986, the church accepted a recommendation from the Long Range Pianning Committee to purchase a transportation vehicle for church use. On February 8, 1967, the church ^ accepted three additional recommendations of this committee. First, that the church appoint a special building committee for the construction of new additions to our church building. Secondly, that the ' church conduct a religious census. Thirdly, that a study be made of a special report prepared by the committee with respect to safety measures that the church should take to avoid lawsuits that might be K brought against the church by persons alleging injuries due to negiigence on the part of the church « personnel. Early in the year of 1990, Rev. Gordon Joyner gave notice that he intended to resign at the end of 12 the year. A search committee was appointed. On November 18,1990, the committee recommended 5 that Rev. Kenneth R. Evans of Morehead City, N.C. be called as pastor. He was, at that time, pastor of a rJ X ■d 78700 MOCkSVii:?. the Bogue Banks Baptist Church, Atlantic Beach, N.C.

Davie County Public Library sr> Mocksville, North Carolina w s; 1 FORK BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY DIRECTORY PAPTist f yi.,^ -ORCi« Compiled by Paul Monroe Johnson Church Historian Published 1983 HISTORY OF FORK BAPTIST CHURCH CEMETERY The Fork Baptist Church was organized in 1793. The church is located 7 miles east of Mccksvllle, N.C. on Highway 64. At the October, 1849 business conference of the Fork Baptist Meeting House, the church voted to establish a "graveyard". The first burial at the cemetery site was Iren A. Hobbs who died July 27,1846. This burial took place prior to the official establishment date of the cemetery. In March, 1857, B.S. Merrell was asked by the church to secure additional land for the "graveyard". He and Conrad Hendrix j4» were appointed as a committee to ascertain the cost of an "Iron gate" for the "graveyard". «i . ^ o In I860, this "graveyard" was enlarged by a gift of one-half acre of land by Dr. Milton Hobbs, a local community physician. B.S. Merrell presented the deed to the Trustees. The minutes of this conference read In part "the church gave Dr. Hobbs £ g ^ hearty vote of thanks". iy'S 'j3 In June, 1869, B.S. Merrell, William Foster and Dr. Milton Hobbs were appointed as a committee to erect arj Iron gate tc the "graveyard". On January 21, 1873, a committee was appointed for the purpose of buying a lot south of the church and east of the "graveyard". A.H. Stewart agreed to sell this lot at a price of $20 per acre with the understanding that he would donate one- half acre to the church. During 1912, a committee was appointed to obtain funds to be used for enclosing the "graveyard". This committee wa? relieved from duty In November 1913. G.A. Sheets, W.A. Sain and D.M. Bailey were appointed as a new committee. The new committee was Instructed to measure the "graveyard" and determine the cost of enclosing It. This committee later reporter that they had $370 in cash and "subscriptions" to be used for this project. The church instructed the committee to purchas( another acre of land and proceed to enlcose the "graveyard" with a "substantial fence". The "Iron fence" was completed no later than the end of 1915. On April 25,1926, the home of the church clerk was destroyed by fire. The church records for the period beginning January 1,1917 through April 24,1926 were burned In this fire. In August, 1932, the Cemetery Committee was Instructed by the church to use their own judgment In the expenditure o money from the Cemetery Fund. In August, 1936, the church decided that burial plots would be priced by the Deacon and sold to those who planned buria at this cemetery. On January 17,1937, Mr. D.M. Bailey reported that he had received $15.00 on burial plots. On April 17, 1937, the Building Committee was authorized to borrow from the Cemetery Fund, provided such money wa needed for the finishing of the Sunday School rooms. On March 19,1938, the following members were elected asacommlttee to Investigate the possibility of building a road t< the cemetery: J.C. Barnhardt, Zeb Burton and Dewitt Bailey. On April 16,1938, the committee recommended that the road be built through the cemetery and that the ground be clears and leveled for this purpose. No further progress was made on the building of the road until March 16, 1940. At that time, a new committee was ap pointed composed of J.R. Foster, G.A. Sheets and D.M. Bailey. In April, 1940, Mr. Sheets reported that the road would lead from the highway Into the cemetery. Soon thereafter, the roa was completed. m / During the years of the 1940's and 50's, Mr. Jeff Davis always had an outstanding interest in the cemeteiV. He spent much of his time soliciting money for the maintenance fund. On December 18,1966, the Cemetery Committee was authorized to plot the new section bordering the road on the east side of the property. On July 28,1968, the following rules for the operation of the cemetery were adopted by the church: CARE AND MAINTENANCE: 1. No more curbing around graves. 2. All foot stones be placed even with the ground. 3. Money from the William's estate be used toward the cost of lining up grave markers, removing curbing and grassing the cemetery. 4. Work to begin on the oldest section (the section to the left of the road that goes through the cemetery and lies between the road and the new part) as soon as possible after the first check is received from the estate. 5. Flowers, both real and artificial, be removed fropi the cemetery as soon as they begin to fade. RESERVING OF PLOTS: 1. Church members to pay one-half of the total cost price of $20.00 when the lot is reserved and the balance when the lot is used. 2. Non-church members to pay the entire amount of $50.00 when the lot Is reserved. 3. All income from the lots to be recorded separately as public and private record. 4. No lot will be reserved or considered reserved until this has been done. GOALS: 1. That the entire cemetery be re-worked; lining up markers, removing all curbing and grassing and placing all foot markers even with the ground. 2. Those who reserve lots will place markers at the corners of their lot. During the year of 1968, the cemetery was surveyed, monuments aligned, curbing removed and the ground seeded. The plots were recorded In a bound plot book. On September 19,1971, the church decided to black-top the roadway through the cemetery. The pavement was to be 10 feet wide, a 4-inch base with 1 inch of black-top. The paving was done by L.A. Reynolds Co., Winston-Salem, N.C. at a cost of $1,842.50. The cost was paid from the Cemetery Fund. On September 20,1981, a decision was made by the Church that the driveway within the cemetery be paved at a cost of $8,190. The paving consisted of\two coats of tar and gravel. The cost of such paving was made from the Cemetery Fund. The Cemetery Committee on January 1,1983 was composed of the following: John M. Bailey, Chairman Clyde Jones Junie Livengood r Kenneth Carter Cr Paul Monroe Johnson, Church Historian Fork Baptist Church The initial reading of the markers in the cemetery for the compilation of this publication was begun by Mr. Johnson, Morrison Carter, Tommy Bailey and members of the Youth Fellowship on March 8, 1970. The work was continued to com pletion by Mr. Johnson and his wifeWyona Merrell Johnson.

According to' Professor J. T. Alderman, as early as 1768, thej . Baptists had preaching on a| beautiful hilltop under the inag-:i ' nificient oaks. At first it was 15common ground for all denom-j! inations, but Professor Alderman i?reports that nearly everyone feltjj more kindly to the Baptist and the T others soon retired from the I Rev. John Meglamre, a minist er of the Kehukee Association, was appointed to preach at the Fork Meeting House, Oct. 3, 1774. This appointment of a preacher at Fork meeting house is the earliest known record. There is -nothing to indicate how long the meeting house had been standing, nor whether there was an organiz ed congregation. The old meeting house was built of logs, and cov ered part of the same ground that the present church occupies. Mr. Alderman thinks that preaching began at the Fork Meet ing House as early as 1768.

ENTERPRISE THl Pickler, certain Baptist leaders recognizing the need for greater cooperation among the Baptist churches of the state organized the Baptist State Convention in 1830. The question of missions was the topic of discussion of that day. It reached Fork Church. Ifee people were divided. According to the Merrell man uscript, Mr. Picker attended the State Convention and when he returned threw "his wliole soul into the mission work and' preach ed with unwonted liberty." From the beginning of 1833 un til August of that year, the lines were clearly drawn between the :wo factions. About one-third of the members of Fork Church, led by one Thomas Phillips, an ex eluded member of one of the churches of the Liberty Associa tion, became so violent and dis orderly that it was a frightful day in - conference. Bandyings and epithets and milignant ac cusations echoed through the house dedicated to the service of| God," states an article compiled by Charles H. Utley. The minority group tore them selves away from the conference and were cut off as disorderly members. It was with this group that 'William Thompson, the clerk, left and took with him the orig inal church register and refused to let the church have it Those favoring the missions re mained loyal to the church and were re-enrolled showing a mem bership of six men and 29 women. On Oct. 20, 1906, the church by an unanimous vote decided to build a new house. The present building was dedicated the First Sunday in August, 1911. In 1930, eight Simday Schol rooms were added by building across the South end of the main building. The Fork Missionary Baptist Church was built in 1860 on the same spot that the present church now stands. This building was used imtil '1907, when construction was begim on the present build ing. The cemetary was established by Fork at the October meeting I in 1849. I From 1846-1857 a camp meet-j ing was held in the Fork Grove, ^ but was discontinued in 1837 by^ a vote of the church.

August 14,1993 Biblical Recorder Davie County Public Ubraty Mocksville, NC DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Sept. 30,1993 n Fork Baptist Receives Largest Settiement Ever From Davie Civii Jury By Lynn Hall Davie County Enterprise Record A Davie County civil court jury last week awarded the largest settlement ever in the county's history to Fork Baptist Chutrh, sotne $556,000, and congregation members hope the judgment will serve as a means to pietect other churches and groups from unethi cal companies. The case involved a contract Fork Baptist had signed with Temple Construction Co. of Greenville, S.C. to build an addi tion to the church. The negotia tions for that contract began in the spring of 1989, and were con cluded in December of that year. Attorney for the church. Hank Van Hoy, said the congregation had learned about Temple because the company had done work for another church in the community. He said throughout the negotiat ing process. Temple's agent, Terrance Lane, represented the company as able to meet all the requirements for the project. "During that period. Lane even attended a service at Fork where he witnesses about his own faith and beliefs." Please See Jury • Page 4 Jury Awards Settlement To Fork Baptist Church; From Construction Co. o Continued From Page 1 The church paid Temple $25,500 inilially and by early 1990, nothing had been done at the site, other than a construction office of sorts placed at the location. "The Davit Inspections Department quickly realized that Temple was not a licensed contractor and voided the building permit." Van Hoy said that when Temple had applied for the building permit, they'd left off the name of the builder, "pcr-haps hoping to get by with this." Under state statute, any project in ex cess of $45,000 requires that the gen eral con-tractor be licensed. "Lane told church members later that he intended to try and get his li cense, but that just means he knew all along that he was violating the law. " He said Lane also told the church and in all this time the cost had increased, and instead of $358,000 to build the addi-tion, it would now cost them more than $400,000. In this same time period, the state board which licenses general contrac tors, started an action against Temple becau.sc they weren't licen^. The church asked for their money back, and Temple refused. The church also asked if they could use the plans that Temple had been planning to u.se, and they said no on that as well. "This left the church with no choice but to take legal action," Van Hoy said. Because Temple was not licensed, this meant, he said, that the contract was illegal and unenforceable. Van Hoy said he never thought Temple had acase, but theirattomeys first attempted to say that the contract referenced a document called general conditions, which stated there can be no litigation, but allows for arbitration. "The church never saw these general conditions and the court held that this was not part of I tlie contract." Van Hoy said Temple I appealed, but lo.st there as well. "At that point their attomcys pulled out of ■. the case." In the trial brief, the church had sought action for breech of contract, '■ Van Hoy said the church addition' was built by Wishon and Carter, and' because of delays, increases in materi- alscosts and the fact that new plans had , to be done, the building costs rose by'., $42,000. That plus the $25,500 the church had already paid Temple, put^ the damages at approximately $67,000 for breach of contract "The measure of damages for fraud is done differently," the attorney ex-.. plained. "The difference is looking at_ what you could have reasonably ex- • pected the project to cost, and we thought Temple low balled us to get. ■ the contract, so we fi gured $370,000 • was a more accurate number." The $30,000 difference in $370,000 and $400.000plusthe$25.500alreadypaid. makes$56,000andthat'8whatthejury' found as compensory damages for" fraud. Under unfair trade practices. Van Hoy cited concealing the fact that the. company wasn't licensed. "In fraud . you are entitled to punitive damages, and in this area the jury looks at bad' acts, rather than actual damages suf fered by the church. And in looking at this side of it, the jury felt 10 times the' damage to the church was a fair puni tive judgement. Other bad acts,included the fact that even while the state board had taken action against Temple, the company was still advertising in publications such as the Biblical Recorder. "I think the jury was also angry that he was' praying on the religious emotions of the congregation to win their trust." Van Hoy said they congregation' won't know for a while if they'll col lect anything, "but they felt this was important to deter unlicensed contrac tors from taking advantage of other unsuspecting groups or churches." rj 3 DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Oct. 28,1993 Davis County Public Library MocMe, NC Dressing For The Day Members of Fork Baptist Church, in keeping with their year long celebration of the church's 200th anniversary, dressed up in costumes members would have worn 200 years ago, when members of the regional Baptist association met at the church last week.• Photos by Mike Barnhardt — • ^ ^ I ^ji ^ ^ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday^ Sept. 1,1994 these Fork Baptist young people and chaperones spent a ;^eek on mission in upstate New York. i)o Mission Work This summer, eight yoiith and four i^ults from liie Fork Baptist Church ^ulh group.
