Two years later a land deed was given to John McMahaa, ttUson , ^ Rissum, Ebexneaser Joaes, Samuel Austin and Isaac Ellis, Trustees of the dive r- ^ Branch Church, hf Rebert Fields and his wife, Nanqy, for this particular tract of li. land. A house of worship was erected there by the menhers. This buildiag saw maiqr I devout souls develop and grow beautiful under the influence of the Almightyta power. And as the years passed and the final sunmons came it saw them with assurance O pass on te the Eternal Cit^. It stood as a silent witness as member after member found the last resting place in the graveyard nearby. ^ During these seventy years-^ of service dive Branch felt the gradual growth of the little village cf Faxaington, as the general store, tobacco factoxy, saw ^ mill, grist mill and blacksmith shops became a trading center for thn surrounding couatxy side. The old church was no longer in the center of the growing population O as it had been. Mb find in B« F« Liiiui*8 report as trustee for OUve Bzanoh Church, at a church coafereuce held October 29, 1881 the fclloidags >*The church Is iu good couditlou but Is an old building ^tnd the lot is small and the graYcyaxd is nearly filled, and «e wish to extend the space for burial necessity, and propose to use more of the lot for this purpose, and we contemplate a new church at Fannington, a>ul «ae tte aUv« ofauroh only for buri^ wrvlce..- g So the old church with a saddened heart that it's day of actiire service was nearly over had the privilege of only a few more services within its walls. The ^ S g 3 aregular preaching hervice was held Sunday morning February 5, 1882, f cUowed ij iBDsdiately 1^ a church conference, at which time Albert V. Ellis, church secretary,^ read to the 72 members present the assessments for the year. The last service of any kind to be held in the church was the funeral of a beloved member and faithful Superintendent and Bible Teacher, James Nathaniel Brock, June 17, 1886. So,as a church building^ old Olive Branch Church jessed into history, but the memory and the far reaching influence of-those many devout men and women, their high ideals of Christian liviqg, and the fine exasples of Christlike service have been handed down to us, a precious herltagej it is ours to carry on. At a quarterly conference for the Bavie Circuit held May 7th, 1881, a building i coomittee for the building of a church at Farmington was appodLnted. The committee was coioprised of B. Frank Lunn, Bichard £. JBrook, and Frank M« Johnson. All summer, fall and winter, the work went forward under the supervision of the ocmmittee and the Ir building contractor, M« Pennington, with the faithful aid of the men and women of the church, until it stood cooij^eted and furnished, with all debts paid, ready for the dedication, which was held the fifth Sunday in April, 1882. There are people here today who well remember that fifth Sunday in April, 1882, when W. S. Black, Presiding Elder of the Salisbury District North Carolina Conforenee, assisted by ^ the Pastor in charge, B. L* Ekmhardt, dedicated the building to be *Hised for the dory of God and the good of mankind." w2~ Th0 two aores of land in this lovely ohiirch grounds and the parsonsgo lot of one acre were given to the Tnistees of the Gfaurchj and also the oemetexy of. six acres^ more or less, were given as a Coomunity Burial Ground by the late George hbsley Johnson. The deeds for these are recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds, Hocksville, North Carolina, Davie County Courthouse. The church lot deed is recorded in Bode 7, Page 63. The parsonage lot deed is recorded in Bhok 12, Page 569. The first Trustees for the church were A. V. KLlis, B. Frank Lunn, Sdoeon A. Jkrvis, Frank M. Johnson and Richard £• Brook. The present trustees (1932) are Frank H. Bahnson, John Frank Johnson and ttUl E. Kenoen. ^ CO Q Perhaps you would like to know the cost of the Farsdngton Church.

The youngest being "The Vorld Club" sponsored by the Vomants Mifsionarr Society. It was organised in 1931, with ^win Johnson as president, Frank Bahnson, Jr., secretary. The %worth League has had its ups and downs during the maiy years sinne the first organisation. There have been years wton only the younger ones carried on and then again only the older ones kept it going, and then again after pUying Rip Van Winkle, f new life would revive it into activity. For the past few years under the leadership of Miss ELiaabeth Jraes and Charlie Bahnson much good and creditable work has been done, being recognised in the County and Bistriot League Unions. The third organised group was the Womanto Missionary Society which was organised in May, 1925, at the home of Mrs. Tom Redmon, with thirteen charter members. Jfrs. -5- -I 2 8 m Zj ? >Q.

This made a continuity in the community of 12S years being carried on by the descendants of those earliest settlers and others who from time to time moved into the large community. Senator Will Brock of Chattanooga, Tennessee, the guest speaker for the 50tb anniversary, was a descendant of Richard Brock, a son of Enoch Nathaniel Brock, one of these early settlers. He brought a message of encouragement and inspiration of faith in the future of the church and community. He was presented a token of friend- ^ ship from the members of the Church. It was a smoking stand made by Ralph James from lumber taken from the old home of I Senator Brock and his parents® fhe Ladles Aid Society sponsored ' 4 this gift. ^ Rev. M. G. Erwin, in his third year as pastor of the ■X.Farmington charge, led the Church as it began its second fifty ^ years in vrorship of God and its service to mankind. Mr. Ervdn was followed in the Fall of 1934 by Rev. H. 0. Freeman vdio ^ remained for four years. ^ In December 193^, it was decided by the Church under the leadership of the Ladies Aid Society, to remove from the church n t building the cupola whick looked badly and needed other repairs# ^ s o¥. P. Vogler of Advance, tore the cupola away and by January 1935"' ^ liFat a cost of 2^150.00, replaced it with a less pretentiousc one, § ^ Q- S but one i/diich protects and houses the large sweet toned bell thatd ^ o §calls worshipers to gather for expressions of loyalty, devotion ^ and faith in God. ^ In July 1965, during a thunder storm, lightening struck the six foot hardwood pole atop the cupolo, splintering it. The arrow on the pole was split across where it had been fastened to the pole and was thrown to the ground beneath. The date, l^Sl, on the arrow was still securely fastened to the tail of the arrow. The oak wood, showing strength in its grain and wear of the weather for S4 years, was still solid. Other damage was done to the church but insurance covered the cost of repairs. A white cross—arm replaced the old arrow, and now the old church proudly upholds a white cross above the cupolo to remind all who see that the church is still carrying on the Christian principles in their worship t of God. li^ May 1939, James E. Sherrill, a teachecof Ag^iiculture S the Earmington High School added to the alter railing a Communion Cup Rail which improved the looks and conveniences of tihe Communion Service. Rev. Joe W. Vestal was pastor of the Charge from 193 S through 1944* In August 1935 the Ladies Aid under the leadership of Mrs. Moses B. Brock, and workmanship of Frank Henry Bahnson, erected a rock marker near the road on the East front lawn of the church. It tells the date of building of the church in 1S31. -2- n LADIES AID SOCIETY The many deeds accomplished by the Ladies Aid Society for the parsonage, church and community if recorded would well fill a book. They are deeds involving time, labor, food, clothing, furnishings for home and church, money for insurance and many other needed supplies. Let us pause and look into the history of this Woman's organization that has been of so much value to the S CQ Q Farmington Charge and Community. ^ ^ 8It was organized as the Ladies Parsonage Aid Society § ^ in 1S92, with Mrs. L. E. Stacy, the pastor's wife, as its first d| president. Some of the charter members were I^s. Stacy, Mrs. g ^ Emma Brock Brown and Mrs. Jane Johnson Bahnson. On December 22, 1963, l^'irs. Brown, the last of the charter members, at the age of 101 years and ten months, passed on to her reward. Let us recount some of the many things this growing group of women did through the time of its 47 years of helpful activities. There was the time when the pastor's old hat, even though his best, looked worn and soiled from too many summers of heat, sweat, and dust and too many winters of rain and snow, and ^ money for a new one v/as not in the family budget, that the c good ladies brought this condition to their monthly meeting. True I to their form for service wherever the need was found, the pastor a new hat and a new shirt the following Sunday as he proudly rode away in his buggy to fill his preaching appoint^ionts at two of his six churches on the charge. •'^Qceipts show that in 1936 the Ladies Aid paid the insurance bhe parsonage and. the church. They bought hymn books a pulpit light for the church. They bought for the P^^sonage curtains, bed linens, rugs, dishes, table silver, 5 -3- -j carpets, lamps, bowl and pitcher sets, an iron wash pot for laundering, and chairs, kitchen utensils and other things too numerous to mention. Tftey always willingly helped the Stewards in "paying out" the church budget for the year, as the annual >- Qd £9 c Western North Carolina Conference drew near its convening, and the -j ^ preacher and delegates were almost ready to leave to attend the tn f >Q_ CO conference. There were other times - once when a negro family*s . ^o o house burned to the ground, and they saved little of their uj > o 9 earthly possessions, but through the leadership of the Ladies Aid Society they soon had food, clothing, household'goods enough to start over again in a neighbor's rent house. There was the time vdien the first president, Mrs. Stacy, became ill and died soon after giving birth to a little baby girl, Kosa. One of the members, Mrs. Molly P'erry Brock, after talking it over with her husband, Joseph C. Brock and Mr. Stacy, the father of Rosa, offered to take care for the baby as her own. The Brocks had lost their own baby the same week that Rosa had lost her mother. Rosa lived with them until her family reclaimed her when ^ she was old enough to attend school. In 1924, at the cost of a little over J^bOO.OO the Ladies Aid with the help of the men for labor and management, ^ paid for three rooms built on the West end of the Church. These j. were used by classes of the Sunday School. T The money to do all these things and many more that X have not mentioned was earned in varied ways. First, there were O £ dues of five cents per member per month; lawn parties on the church lawn with real home-made ice cream, lemonade, cakes and 5 pies. All ingredients qnd labor were donated by the members. -4- B6 On Saturday afternoons during the summer and early fall a hand .m Q turned ice cream freezer or two filled with rich delicious home made ice cream mixtures were made and sold by the "dipper full" § - CL w to whomsoever came by. The members took turns making and d S selling the ice cream, clearing of §5.00 or a little more was a ^ good reward for an afternoon's work. ^ The annual Bazaar in the Fall usually October or November, provided the main source of income during the last half or more of the life of the Ladies Aid; and also in the V/.S.C.S. (Women's Society of Christian Service) through the year 1962. The Bazaar and chicken pie supper became so big and the laborers older and less able to undertake the task of preparation and serving of food that the ladies voted to disband the bazaar and supper and work in other ways to raise money to take care of their needs. In the bazaar one could find the handiwork of the members such as lace,tatting, crocheting, embroidery, doilies, rugs, chair sets, aprons, hand painted pictures, vases, bottles, pillow <• cases, quilts, etc. There was the market booth of home grown ^ vegetables from the gardens and farms. There were cakes, jellies, ^ jams, preserves, strings of red hot peppers, sage for the sausage, long handle goiirds - you can name, it and most likely it could have been found somewhere on the long row of tables in the school - building where the bazaars were held. The bazaar supper was usually homemade chicken pie with o vegetables and sweets and coifee, all being donated and prepared the women of the church. It pleased and satisfied customers from near and far. It was hard work but rewarding. It did more than bring in money - it developed an appreciation of the worth of fellow workers in those who so generously gave of their means and >- a:-of themselves# The Ladies Aid Society was an institution of ^ labor, love and helpfulness# □ z ^2 iiJGIIURGH IVEDDINGS ^ il P > UJ 5 Tnere have been fifteen weddings solemnized within the • O y sacred walls of the church from its dedicsbion in IBBZ to the writing of this account in January 1966# Tlie first one was ^ Henrietta Alverta Coley to Moses B# Brock, Ifech 2, IBSB# The second was Dox'a Clarke to Edward 3» Kearns, date unavailable# The third iiolly Sv/aim to Britton Brock, date unknown# The fourth was Sallie Llay Murcherson to William A# Taylor, May 4, 1S9S.

Before any Sunday School rooms were built to the church the entire church membership was divided into classes according to age. They gathered ih the Sanctuary in assigned places for the class study. In 1924 the three rooms on the West side of the i Church were built. Then in 1950 North of these three rooms on the - same floor level four more rooms were built and a fellowship hall and kitchen were add^d underneath in the basement. These rooms took care of all but the older men's class who remained in the Sanctuary and the M. Y. F. (Methodist- Youth Fellowship) group Who meet in the Fellowship Hall in the basement. ^2 j^-As I think back, how much better it is for teaching and ^ learning for each class to have its own room. I well remember how difficult teaching was with the clashing of the teaching voices and the mumbling of answering pupils filling the Sanctuary air. There are many people, men and women who through the years have shared the responsibilities of teaching and training 3H 3— C~> O <0 the minds of both young and old. I shall name some of them: A. V/. Ellis, Mrs. A. \'h Ellis, Miss Emma Johnson, Mrs. Charles >• A. Hartman, Moses B. Brock, jvirs. Kichard C. Brown, Frank H. ^ m o Bahnson, Mrs. Frank H. Bahnson, Mrs.Minnie Bowden Allen. Mrs. ^ ' o uJ ^ -4Milton Ward, Will A. Taylor, Miss Margie Hartman, Mrs. Mable D. ^ Ellis Kedmon, George A. Hartman, John Frank Johnson, Miss tee d ^ Freeman. INow in more recent years Burr Coley Brock, Sr., tes. Mary Nell Hartman Lashley, Mrs. Queen Bess Kennen, Miss Vade Johnson, Firs. Rose Taylor Caudle, John Charles Hartman, James Moses Brock, H. Ray Harding, Mrs. John Charles Hartman, Mrs. Wilburn Spillman, William Wilburn Spillman, Mrs. Nannie ...Sue Seats Harpe, Mrs. Anita S. Harding, I-'Irs. Grady H. Smith, Mrs. George Tucker, Miss ^ Ann Harding, Rufus Leo Brock, Mrs. Burr Coley Brock, Sr. There ate perhaps others whose record of service I do not find but who have served as teacher or assistant some time throughout the years. May God bless each and eveiy service of all of these people who have given of themselves in this manner. - There are many others who have helped the Pastors and Superintendents, Stewards and Trustees carry on the work of the church. From the youngest to the oldest they have given \villingly, graciously and faithfully of themselves by attending, by singing, by praying, by playing the organ and piano, violin, trumpet, by producing special programs for special occasions such as Christmas; by janitoring, by giving of their means and personality, to the development of the whole church. Without these the church would have been deprived of much helpful -9- Christian development. ^ The Sunday ^chool or Church School is now, in 1966, divided into graded groups beginning with the Cradle Roll, m oKindergarten, Primary Juniors, Intermediates, M.Y.F. Group, Younger I^Iarried V/omen*s Class, Older Women*s Class and the ^ - men*s class. In ISS3 the enrollment was 100 members with ri o 8 iaverage attendance of 60. Now in 1966 we have an enrollment ^ of 130 with average attendance of 73a per Sunday. ^ Through the years the Sunday Sdhool has been the very life blood of the Church. It has been a learning ground for Christian livingj a place for Bibl.e study, a place for Christian growth for all who came and participated in the opportunities for service. CHURCH SCHOOL SECRETARIES AND TREASURERS The Church School Secretaries and Church Treasurers have ( helped to keep records of finances, Sunday School attendance, types of weather and some other information during the years. I find in these records that Lonnie J. Home began in 1900 and X served as Secretary-Treasurer until he resigned in 1940, when W. A. Taylor was elected and served until L. F. Brock was elected in 1943- He served, through the conference years 1945-1946, when Charles Burton Seats was elected and served until His sudden death in 1962. His son-in-lav/, Joe Carr Harpe and ^ daughter, I4rs. Nannie Sue Harpe, served the remainder of the year. In 1963 John^Henry Caudle was elected and is nov/ serving in the years 1965-1966. I LAY LEADERS 1^^ tHe Quarterly Conference records in 1910 I find that • ^ ^ Albert V/. Ellis was the first appointed lay leader for the Farmington Charge. Others are Frank H. Bahnson appointed in 1927, John Frank Johnson served several years. Burr C. Brock, Sr. -10- was appointed November 12, 1936, and served until he suffered a severe stroke August 19, 1961. H. Ray Harding was appointed in I960; John Charles Hartman was elected February 15, 1966, at a quarterly conference presided over by District Superintendent Dr. Herman Nicholson. m o COMMUNITY EASTER UNSRISE SERVICES o Lli -J _J m -J => > Q- C/) is: LU >< a In the early Spring of 1963, Rev. Bennie B. Bearden, pastor of the I'armington Methodist Church and Rev. Marvin Gold, pastor 8 ^ of the Farmington Baptist Church in friendly cooperation talked over the need for a Community Easter observance. The meeting resulted with the idea and plans for the two churches to hold a joint Easter observance, each alternating between the two churches. Consequently, on Easter Sunday morning, April 14, 1963, at n six o*clock the first Farmington Community Easter sunrise observance was held in the Methodist Church with the sanctuary filled with both young and old joining in worshipful spirit of ^ the occasion. r" 2 The two pastors brought helpful thought provoking messages of the triumphant resurrection of Jesus Christ. The combined J choirs of the two churches under the leadership of the two choir ^ directors, Mrs. Nell Hartman Lashley and I'^rs. Sue (Marvin) Gold. iii ' accompanied on the organ by the organist. Miss Helen Harding, sang inspiring Easter Hymns. I^drs. Graham Weathers, Jr., sang a j— 'i? solo accompanied by I4iss Diana Groce on the piano. While colored slides, depicting the life of Jesus, and the crucifixion and resurrection, were projected on the West wall of the church. Rev. Gold read the accompanying script. The meeting closed with everyone joining in a song followed by a dismissal -11- lUMU^r o ^^ o UJ prayer by Rev. Bearden. After the service the inspired people gathered in the § § Fellowship Hall idiere the women of the V/oman*s Society of Christian Service served hot coffee and donuts during a half | hour of Christian fellowship. S The second Conununity Easter Sunrise Service was held in th^ Baptist Church, Sunday March 29, 1964, with Hev. Bearden and Rev. Gold in leadership. The Church Sanctuary was filled with iirorshipers. The Community Choir under the direction of Reeves Gardner, a Moravian, and Mrs. Charlotte Seats Smith, pianist, also a Moravian, both of Macedonia Church, sang three Easter songs - "In the Hour of Trial", "Christ Aros'e", and "Up Rrom the Grave He Arose". Both pastors brought inspiring messages in words of scripture and prayer. People returned to their respective homes saying "It was rewarding, and good to have come together to honor and worship our Heavenly Father on this Easter dayl? . On April 13, I965, at six o*clock A. M. with clear sunny i skies bright above the happy voices of the chirping birds, and the : quick stepping of the gathering of boys and girls, men and women, ^ the third Community Easter Sunrise Seirvice was held in the Methodist Church. The pastors were Rev. Bennie Bearden and Hev. 'i Marvin Gold. They again brought prayers of praise and L thanksgiving for Christ's resurrection and his plan of :y ? salvation for all people. Rev. Bearden brought the sermon to filled sanctuary. Mrs. G. B. Weathers, Jr., sang a ^ solo. The combined choirs under the direction of Mrs. Rufus -12- L. Brock sang three songs. Miss Helen Harding presided at the V organ. After the worship service a thirty minute fellowship period was enjoyed by all in the Fellowship Hall where coffee and donuts were served by the W.S.C.S. The consensus of thinking of those who have attended these combined Easter observances of the Baptist and Methodist churchelE s is that they have added much to the spiritual life of each ® o member and to each church as a body, and the community as a whol^ ^ CQ CHURCH miC £ I d ^"Make a joyful noise unto the >Lord, ^ § All ye lands. . ^ Come before his presence with S Singing". ^ We have always had singing and a musical instrument in our , church. There was the walnut finished church organ bought when the church was built in IBSI. Then some years later it was traded in on an Ep\gorth Tone Organ in oak finish. In 1922 Sunday School Class No. k, composed of active young men and vroraen, worked together to raise the money to buy a new piano for ^ the church. So in 1922 we bought a Laffargue piano from the o 5 Bowen Piano Company in Winston-Salem, for the sura of §2^5.00. g Now in 1965, the old oak finished organ is in the fellowship hall in the basement of the Sunday School addition; the Laffargue piano is being used in the i?ooms for the children in the Primary Department. In the sanctuary there is a Hammond Electric Organ rs ^ bought in I96I for 01326.GO from Jesse G. Bowen Music Company in V.O o V/inston-Salem. Money was raised to finance the buying of this 4^ addition to our music through donations from individuals, V/.S.C.S. I? -13- O <x CQ O _i 2 ^ LiJ o 9 UJ ^ > and memorials, and by the continued efforts of Mrs# 0# R. Allen and I^rs. Nell Hartnian Lashley as chairmen of the project# Through the years there have been many who have added to worship services by accompanying the singing on these musical I rr\instruments. I find these names who have been organists: Miss Alverta Coley, who later became Mirs. Moses B. Bro^qk, &s. § ^ Hinnie Johnson, Florence Stacy, vAo later became lirs. Charles C. d f vifeaver, lirs. A. W, Ellis, Miss Maude Smith, Miss Emma Johnson 5 who later became Mrs. Jess Smith, Ifrs. Herbert Hicholson, Vada ^ Johnson, Grey Johnson, Dorothea Norrington, Mrs. Leo E. Brock, iu-s. Jessie Lee James Smith, Willys Eugene James, Helen Ray Harding and Patricia Caudle. At one time ivhen Jlrs. Leo Bi-ock vras pianist V/illiara E. Keruien played the violin and Francis ^ Home-played the trumpet. The congregation joined in with them in joyful singing. THE CHOIR There has been a regular choir for the church since the late middle thirties frora volunteers of the members, men and : women, and young folks. W. Ben Smith served a year as song leader, Mrs. Hell H. Lashley served as choir director from the r late thirties until 1963, when Mrs. Rufus L. Brook took over and served two years until 196?. Some of the choir women under the supervision of lii-s. Lottie Brock, Mrs. Leon Foster, &s. Burr C. Brock, Jr., and Ilrs. Nell H. Lashley met and made-long black broadcloth robes v/hich are used for preaching services. For Christmas the choir uses short white broadcloth capes with r'ed. ties. -14- i'- Ci a* r TiiG ciioir has added niuch to the worship services on both regular and special occasions such as Easter and Christmas and funerals. Often they joined the choir of the Baptist church for funerals in either church. The twochoirs combined for the Easter Sunrise Services. J Good music and good singing by all the people makes foi' ^ ^ ^ iUa happier cooperative congregation and church family. m n THE CHIMES g > In 195^ I'lrs. Effie Jonas Allen presented chimes to the . ^ C_j o Qchurch as a memorial to her late husband, Oscar R. Allen, who died in July, 1957* This memorial of chimes has given much ^ pleasure and inspiration to the entire community. It has sent out over the airv/aves from the top of the church building musical messages of Jesus and his love for all mankind. The chimes play each day at noon and six o'clock in the afternoon and at nine o'clock Sunday morning. The old year is given a farewell message at midnight December 31st, and the Hew Year is greeted on its entrance at Mew Year's eve bj^" this musical means. MAlililNGTON CHARGE PATtSOMAGE According to Rev. W. L. Grissom in his History of Methodism in Davie County, the Mocksville Circuit was divided in 1876 and the i'arraington Circuit was formed at this time. The Farmington Circuit bought a parsonage in Smith Grove for the amount of - /. Yes, four dollars and twenty—live cents. Fourteen years later in C- 1^90 the first Quarterly Conference ordered that this house be & sold and the proceeds applied towards a new parsonage to be built T-r in tarmington. Consequently, immediately a new parsonage of three ^ rooms and a hall on the second floor and five rooms and a ^nde n hall and tv/o porches on the first floor was begun. There were rJ M \ > a: m o -1 2 9 lU two chimneys, seven fireplaces and a flue for the kitchen stove, and, according to Rev. Grissora it was being erected 3 in 1^90. The first pqstor to occupy this tall imposing well built frame parsonage was Rev. P. L. Groom in 1^90-1^91. Then Rev. Lucius Stacy and his family moved in. The building with its dug well, out of doors toilet d ZD > Q. tnfacilities, hen house, barn, garden, and the wood pile, well ^ o o 2 filled by neighbor members of the church, was the home for many y traveling preachers and their families. They lived, loved and ^ served from this home base, feny have returned to visit this their one time home. Time passed and weather and wear made repairs and repaintings necessary on the wooden structure. Something had been done almost every year to keep the building in good repair. Running water ^ 'viB.s put into the kitchen and a bath room was built from part of one room and the back porch. It was well equipped with bathroom fixtures. Other improvements came along later. In 195^, Rev. and Mrs. Alvin Amick and their family of six children and one on the way, moved into the stove heated parsonage. They used the entire house and yard space for their living. More repairs' soon became evident. After a period of 68 years of heat and cold, rain, sleet, snow and the coming and going of many feet, the old house began again to show great need of repairs I and refinishing of walls and floors with also the need of more modern heating method. Subsequently, it was inspected by the Parsonage Trustees, lay church members and the Thomasville I District Superintendent, Ur« John H. Carper, and the Chairman -16- L-i 3, 2. C cL <z: of the Conference Building Committee for the Thomasville District, Burr G. Brock, Sr. Dr. Carper recommended selling the year old building and apply returns to the building of a new parsonage. A special quarterly conference of the Farmington Charge was called July 19, I960, at Wesley Chapel Church for the ^ purpose of discussing sale of the parsonage and some of the S o l2m furnishing. On July 24, I960, at Farmington a Quarterly Oon- d j 00 -J ZD >ference was called for further discussion. On August 14, I960, ^ d g by majority vote of the Quarterly Conference and interested ^ church members of the Charge assembled and voting, the Parsonage g Trustees were authorized to "Contract, deed, sell, mortgage or transact any other necessary written instruments to be executed by and on behalf of the Farmington Methodist Charge, that the proposed project of building a new and adequate parsonage may be undertaken immediately; further, that all proceeds from the sale of the old parsonage and lot be applied solely upon building of new parsonage".

Sunday is their busiest day. When Oak Grove United Method ist Church welcomed new pastor David Talbert in June, they knew they would rarely see their ministei's wife - espe cially on Sunday. At the same time her husband began hisduticsatOakGrove,TammyTalbeit was beginning her service to the Farm- inglon charge as pastor at Farmington, Wesley Chapel and Mt. Olive United Methodist churches. WhileTanimy serves her three con gregations on a schedule that includes two sermons every Sunday morning and three sermons on one Sunday each month, David is busy with Sunday functions at Oak Grove. According to the Talberts, tlieir churches have also had to do some adjusting to the .situation. The churches have been real good to work with us," she said. Tammy is the first female pastor to serve the Farmington charge, and the Talberts are Davie County's firstMeth- odist clergy couple. According to David, this is the first time Oak Grove has had a mi nister who did not reside in their parsonage. 'The Talberts live in the Farmington parson age and use Oak Grove's as an office. Tammy said their district supervi sor decided which parsonage they would live in. Tlie Farmington parson age is close to her churches and six miles from Oak Grove. It can get a little confusing when people call tospeak to the Rev. Talbert, and tlie Talberts anticipate some hard to answer questions in the future. Even though they don't have plans for children in the immediate future, David said it will create an interesting situation. But the situation is not as difficult for the Talberts as it may appear. "Wehayeknown eversince wemet this is how life would be for us," Tammy said. "We have never known it any other way." The Talberts met while in seminary at puke University and were married two years ago. They graduated in May and moved to Davie County in late June. David, who is from Concord, was working in the family business, when he felt the call to the ministry and returned to school. Tammy has known since lOthgrade this is how she wanted to spend her life. But prior to meeting David sheplanned to return to Virginia where she grew up . in King William near Richmond. As it turns out, the Talberts are one of more than 30 clergy couples in the Western North Carolina Conference, which covers Greensboro and every thing west of it One of tlie most special times in their relationship was being ordained together, David said. The Talberts agree there are a lot of benefits to being married to another minister. "We find ourselves sharing a good bit," David said. They only have to buy one set of books arid can talk over sermon ideas with one another. But they never have the'same ser mon even if they start with the same ideas.Theirslyles aredifrerent,Tammy explained. She said David is a teacher wholays foundations andexplainshowand why to his congregation. Tammy is more of a story teller. . "She captures the narrative nature of the Bible and brings that to life," David said. In addition tosermon ideas,Tammy said they also discuss how they should deal with situations or problems they or their church members encounter. "It's very helpftil to havea spouse in thesameprofession-for advice," David said. Together they participated in com munion services with home bound members from theirchurches and have gradually been meeting people in each other's churches. Tammy said she can occasionally attend an event at David's church if nothing is happening at one of hers, and he gets to do the same from time to time. David said the Bishop and those who appoint ministers are sensitive to the situation of clergy couples. They work hard to place spouses close to gether, and theTalberts are happy with the situation. "We enjoy living in Davie County," he said. As mere women feel called to the ministry. Tammy predicts clergy couples will also become more com mon.
