The Ellaville Sun  December 31, 1937

45 SERVE METHODIST PASTORATE SINCE '60
Only Three Had Four-Year Assignments; Rare List Compiled By R.S. Greene

Only three of the 45 ministers who have served the Ellaville Methodist Church 
during the past 77 years have served four-year terms, a check of the complete 
record shows.

The important document listing the minister(s) since 1860 is owned by Mr. 
Robert Greene of Andrew Chapel.  It was begun by his mother-in-law Mrs. J.C. 
Strange.  The only known compilation, the manuscript fills an important gap in 
Schley County's church history.  (Note:  The Sun was unable to obtain a 
complete list of Baptist Ministers.)

The three preachers who served four-year assignments are of recent times:  
B.L. Jordan, H.H. Heisler and W.E. Scott.

The list follows:
Dennis O'Driscoll, 60-61; B.F. Breedlove, 62-63, John F. Berry, ^4-65-66; R.F. 
Williamson, 67-68; Rev. Mr. Bentley, 69; Rev. Mrs.(?) Mills, 70; Rev. Mr.
