Green, grandfather of John Green. The structure although remodeled remains on the same plot of ground now owned and occupied by the grandson named above. Although the church took the Green's name, the Bells were more predominat in number. Rev. John W. Talley was the preacher in charge with the Rev. W. D. Matthews, Presiding Elder as he was spoken of in those days. Seventeen people constituted the membership of this new church. When a location for the building was considered, Mr. Uriah Beason, grandfather of Mrs. John Green donated the land. Two acres were considered sufficient, while he insisted upon giving more. Anyway the new church was erected upon the plot of ground where it has remained these many years. During the early sixties when foot peddlers were numerous one got lodged for the night in the home of G.S.C. Bell he died during the night he died leaving no identification of himself, family or home. Mr. Bell buried him on this new church property, Thus Green's Chapel cemetery was begun. *Mrs. Barbara Ann Bell wife of J. Howard Bell was the third person buried there and hers was the first identified marked grave. Green's Chapel remained a Southern Methodist Church for seven years. During this period of time its membership increased from 17 to 79. On May 29, 1866, it was organized into a Methodist Episcopal Church by Revs. John W. Tal!ey, J.W. Addington and J. V. Freeman. Forty-one members constituted the organization. This church was built by Mr. Bob Freeman for $300. Money was furnished by the Church Extension Society. They donated $150 and loaned the church the other half for which they gave a note. When it fell due Mesrs. S. H. Green and James H. Bell paid it off in full. Revs. J. W. Addington and J. F. Freeman were preachers in charge with Rev. J.W. Talley,. Superintendent. During the year 1871, before the church was ceiled, it was destroyed by fire. For three years following services were held in the little log school house just back of where the church stood. In 1874, the present church was built. It was lighted by tallow candles set in wooden blocks nailed in the walls. Candles were made and furnished by Mrs. S. H. Green. In 1892 Dr. Pitchford donated the first oil lamps. They too were hung against the walls. These lamps eliminated candle lighting.....
