An Old Certificate

Mr. J. Watt Kirkpatrick, of Sharon, was telling The Observer Saturday of 
seeing, as he expressed it, "the oldest church certificate in the county." Mr. 
J.W. Potts, of Steel Creek, in looking amongst some old papers last week, 
found in a pocket book over a hundred years old a certificate of the church 
membership of his great grandfather, James Grier. Mr. Grier was a Scotch-Irish 
Presbyterian. His certificate bore date of 1772, Apohill, Ireland. The writing 
was well preserved and the style of the certificate interesting.
