The present fJak: Grove Methodit't Episcopal Church, South, is the outgrowth of old Vfliitaiier's Meetii)g House and several t^ethodist "Classes" held at school- .S? house in this coimnunity. Quoting from Rev. W. L. Grissom's History of Davie ^ r'ethodism, wo find the statement that Oak Grove was one of the successors of Q ^ V/hitaker's. He says: "The congregation first worshiped in McOlararock*s schoolhouse, and Jn 3.850 moved to Gain's Schoolhouse. The present church was built, about 188^'." t'&'. Grissom's history was written in 1889. An old ^bcks- ville Circuit Register contains the names of members of "McClararoc's School liouse Class," Nov I848: Isaac W. Jones, Class Leader Henry Hunter >, Esther Harbin Cheshire Sain ? Rebecca tiiller Lucretia Harbin g Nancy SaiV John Penry ^ V/i3.1iara Miller Jacob Nailer Casweli Harbin, Jr. Elizabeth Hiley m ^ Matilda Harbin Wiley Sain o, ^ Martha Ferebee Giles Etchison ^ g Erne line Riley J&ry C.

Louson V Nancy Hunter O and a foot-note says: "This class was formed in 1847." A later list adds the ^ names of 1 Nfeiry VJellDEin Ezekiel McCarter ^ Elizabeth McCarter Nancy Nailer ^ and also states: "This class is removed, some to Sain's School House and r4 some to Center, etc." In the Circuit Minutes dated July lAth, 1849, when 5 John T3.11ett w«;: pastor, it is recorded that the six Sabbath Schools of the Mockaville Circuit were at South River, Concord, Mocksville, Gain's School ^ House, Center, and Call's School House. S5 The minutes of 1851 name David Hendrix as superintendent at S^ s r School House, and in 1852 Cheshire Sain held this office. About 1^0-71 % the place seems to have been called Roger's School House and C. Sam is nona- nated as Sunday School superintendent at that time. The list of members at Roger's School House about 1870-71, and the list at Oak Grove, a few pages further in the same Circuiit Register, contain the identical names, so s shows that the same "Class" or congregation had several titles before the c/ permanent name of Oak Grove Church was chosen.

According to records, Asbury preached there in 1794. Only Whitaker Cem^ery remains with this church ceasing to function in 1830's. The Methodist believers went by several names including McClamrock's School House Class, Rogers and Sains before the permanent name of Oak Grove was chosen. However, in 1849 were listed as being on the Mocksville District with John Tillett as pastor. In 1875, Oak Grove was assessed $75.00 for pastor's salary, and in 1872 showed an enrollment of 96 members. In 1889 a frame church was erected on the present grounds. Davie Circuit was formed in 1895 and Oak Grove Church was put on thds charge and remained there until 1961 when we became a station church. The parsonage was located in Mocksville. A belfry was later added to the original church with the church bells, being donated by T.S. Eanef Sr. This was transferred when the new brick church was built. A building program around 1921 involved he adding of class rooms to the frame church and remained until the early 1950's when the present brick church building was erected by the people of Oak Grove Church. Dedication of the church was held September 1,19^ with the Rev. Bob Oakley and former pastors, the Rev. H. D. Jessup and the Rev. E.M. Avett present. The Oak Grove church soon saw a need for full time pastor and plans were made to become a station church. Interest in the parsonage in Mocksville and again the people of w the church working together built the present parsonage across from the church. This was in 1961 with the Rev. George Auman being the first full time pastor.

PuDiic uoijiy HO \H A Brief History of Oak Grove United Methodist Church Oak Grove United Methodist Church was first known as Whitakers' Meeting House. Organized around 1780, the first building was located near the junction of the old Farmington Road and Highway 158. According to early records, Francis Asbury preached to the community of believers in 1794. Only Whitakers' Cemetery remains on the site of the early Meeting House. The Methodist believers went by several names, including McClamrock's School House and Rogers and Sain, before the permanent name of Oak Grove was chosen. In 1872, the congregation registered 96 persons as members. In 1874, the congregation belonged to the Mocksvilie District and was served by Pastor John Tillet. In 1875, Oak Grove was assessed $75 for the pastor's salary. In 1889, a frame building was erected on the site of the present facility. In 1895, Oak Grove Joined the newly formed Davie Circuit and remained as such until 1961 when it became a station church. A belfry was added to the original building and a church bell, donated by T. S. Eanes, Sr., was subsequently transferred to the present building. The church bell remained until the 1950s when the people of Oak Grove Church erected the present brick building. The dedication of the church building occurred on September 1,1957. Then the current pastor. Rev. Bob Oakley, and former pastors. Rev. H.D. Jessup and Rev. E.M. Avett, were present. Oak Grove Church members soon saw a need for a full-time pastor and made plans to become a station church. They sold the church's share in the parsonage in Mocksvilie, and once again the congregation began building together. They built the present parsonage which is located across Oak Grove Church Road from the church building. Rev. George Auman, the first full-time pastor was the first to occupy the new parsonage. •yg The people next used their skills in the construction of a fellowship hall, which was dedicated on December 10,1967. The name of the church was changed to Oak Grove United Methodist ^ Church in 1968. The church building remained largely unchanged until 1999 when the steeple 0 was added. In 2004 the narthex was expanded to include two handicap-accessible restrooms. 1 & Jt?

HISTORY OF DAVIE COUNTY SCHOOLS PAGE 200 i Oak Grove 1918 Mm This school was first called Sain's School House. The little public school was called by the students "Kent College". This name derived from a man named Kent who lived near there. Mr. Pinkney Turner taught there at one time. (Mary Jane Heitman) Attending this school from Mocksville were Jess Lee Clement, Thomas Rich, Thomas B. Bailey, E. L. Gaither. The boys walked out there, carrying lunch with them — mostly bread and molasses. T. B. Bailey took his molasses in a bottle. Houses along Main Street then would have been Lem Gaither house, at that time Ephraim Gaither home and Calvin Rich home (Dr. Eckherd in 1963), and the Lemuel Bingham house (now Rodwell estate). Pinkney Turner taught there and the History Room at Davie County Public Library has many of his pages of neatly written rolls of students with their attendance marked. A typical page HISTORY OF DAVIE COUNTY SCHOOLS PAGE 201 \b •a; ) o h- 2 i h- <s O 3: t- U> C > aj^' zr~ o Gi ri 3r cJ showed 47 male students and 34 female students. "Register of the free public school in School District No. 30 for whites opened 26 November 1877. signed R Turner." The original schoolhouse was a two-room building with 3 grades being taught in one room, and four grades being taught in the other room. The last year that the school was open was the school year of 1938-39. Everyone worked hard, learned a lot and was ready for the eighth grade when they left there and closed the doors in April of 1939. The building was then used for church suppers and miscellaneous member fiinctions. (Newspaper article September 24,1998) The old school was later covered with shingles. It was torn down in the early 60's when the church built a new brick fellowship hall near that site. Mabel Angell Couch attended Oak Grove through the fifth grade. She walked a mile to the school. Her first grade teacher was Miss Carter and her teacher for the following grade was Miss Bronson. Then she rode the bus and attended school at Mocksville on Main Street.

DAVIE COUNTY E^^reI^i^ Clergy Couple Husband-Wife Ministering In Davie By Jeanne Houpe Davie County Enterprise Record On the day when most families are spending time together, tlicy have little time to see each other. Sunday is their busie.st day. When Oak Grove United Method ist Church welcomed new pastor David Talbert in Juiie, tliey knew they would rarely see their minister's wife - espe cially on Sunday. At the .same time her husband began hisdutiesatOakGrove,TammyTalbeil was beginning her .service to the Farm- ington charge as pastor at Farmington, Wesley Chapel and Mt. Olive United Methodist churches. WhileTammy 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, their churches have also had to do some adjusting to the situation. "Hie 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 Da vie County's first Meth- odi.st clergy couple. According to David, this is the first ti me Oak Grove has had a minister who did not reside in their parsonage. Hie 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. The Farmington parson age is close to her churches and six miles from Oak Grove. > •O It can get a little confusing when people call to speak to the Rev. Talbert, and the Talberts anticipate some hand 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. "We have known ever since we met 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 Duke 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 ministiy and returned to school. Tammy hasknown since 10th grade tills is how she wanted to spend her life. But prior to meeting David she planned 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 the most special times in their relationship was being ordained together, David saidi TheTalberts 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. Theirstylesare difTerent,Tammy explained. She said David is a teacher who lays foundations and explains how and 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 helpful to have a spouse in the same profession-foradvice," David said. Together they participated in com munion services with home bound members from their churches 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 the Talberts are happy with the situation. "Weenjoy living in DavieCounty," he said. As more women feel called to the ministry. Tammy predicts clergy couples will also become more com mon. vo (L O V Davie County Public Library Mocksville, NC DAVIE COUNTY ENTi^RPRISE RECORD, Sept MjlsSs'- David and Tammy Talbert share time together at Oak Grove United Methodist Church. - Photos by James Barringer Oavie County Public Library Mocksviile, NC DA VIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Sept, 28,1995 • Tammy: "We have known since we mel that this is how life would be for us.
