Jun 12, 1907, Roanoke Leader:
The members of the Primitive Baptist church resident in Roanoke have purchased 
of the town the old Methodist church building for $200, and will move it to a 
lot Captain Handley has donated them on the south side of Guy Street, near 
the northeast corner of Dr Shaffer's lot. It is hoped that the Salem church, 
near Bacon Level, can be induced to move its membership here. The work of moving 
the house will be in in a few days. It will doubtless to be torn down and 
rebuilt. 
The Leader is pleased to know that Roanoke is to have this new church.
