From the Editor Early fall weather in the middle of July and August is most unusual here in the mountains. But, we take what we get with the understanding that we can’t change it. Recently, a retired Professor from Western Carolina University, with whom we had the opportunity to spend the day with, made the comment that this winter will more than likely be one “like we used to have here:” Not sure how that will translate into being, but, with everyone busy preparing for winter, we will all be ready for it. Don’t forget that our Library is open 6 days a week. There is usually someone here that can help you with any questions you may have, or can point you in the right direction to find the answer. Decorations and Homecomings have started in the mountains. Feel free to contact us and let us know any that you attend, so that we can add them to an ongoing list of dates for these events. In the last issue of JTJ, one of the pictures came out completely wrong. We will place the blame on myself, the scanner or the squirrel I was watching out the window while preparing JTJ.

Journeys Through Jackson Summer 2014 103 Holden/ Norton/Moss Family Photographs and Information The following photographs and information was sent to the Society by JCGS member Katy Holden Heindl. Ca. 1880 Picture is of John and Arminda Norton Holden taken in Jackson County. On 9 Feb 1854, John Holden (21 Aug 1830-5 Nov 1907) married Arminda Norton (11 Mar 1836-24 Jan 1908). John and Arminda were the parents of William Frank Holden. Both John (a soldier himself) and Arminda had brothers who served with the Confederate States of America, and each had a brother who was killed in the Civil War. John Holden served as a private in Co. B, 25th NC Regiment. Richard Jackson Holden (15 Aug 1823-3 Jun 1874) was a private in Co. F, 1st SC Cavalry, allied with Hampton’s Brigade. Isaac Holden (ca. 1827-23 May 1864) was a private in Co. C, 1st SC Regiment, died at Jericho Mills, VA. David Norton (28 Aug 1834-1 Jul 1912) served in Co. B, 25th NC Regiment as 3rd Lt. He was wounded in the Battle of Fredricksburg, VA. Journeys Through Jackson Summer 2014 104 Richardson Norton (1841-13 Dec 1865) served as private in Co. B, 25th NC Regiment. He was killed in the Battle of Fredricksburg, VA. Fuller Norton (1839- ) served in Co. B, 25th NC Regiment. As a private, he served on detail as a shoemaker for much of the war. What was the life for a soldier in the 25th NC, like? Here, in the words of Pt. Benjamin P. Davis, 25th NC Regiment, are some clues: “Winchester, Virginia October 5th 1862 Mr. E. D. Davis Dear Brother I take pen in hand this blessed Sabbath day to inform you that I am not in very good health at present… but hope this finds you and family well… (Davis goes on to describe troop movements into Maryland and Harpers Ferry and the Battle of Sharpsburg)… since we left N.C we have marched day and night for weeks at a time without much to eat and exposed to a kinds of weather. A tent is a luxury these days that even an officer cannot boast of and we have left behind or lost all our clothing. Except those we have on and they have not been washed in a month and you can imagine how we look. But we have not finally given it up yet and sometimes we present quite a daily appearance. But Co “B” is nothing like it used to be for we have lost some of our bravest and best men by sickness and yankee bullets.” This letter was written by Pvt. Davis to his brother, E. D. Davis (Sheriff of Jackson County at that time) following the Battle of Sharpsburg, known to be the bloodiest one day battle of the Civil War. Sickness would claim the life of Pvt. Benjamin P. Davis back home in Webster on 14 May 1863, at the age of 34. Benjamin’s brothers, Pvts John L. Davis and William B. Davis, were members of the 39th NC Regiment. John L. Davis was wounded (19 Sep 1863) in the Battle of Chickamauga and died on 1 Oct 1863 at age 24. He was commended for gallantry at Chickamauga. 1 Sep 1901 wedding picture of William Frank Holden and Bessie Laurette Moss.

Thomas L. Moss was 12 years old when his 5 older brothers ages 17-24, enlisted in Co. B., 25th NC Regiment, CSA, at Webster, NC on 30 May, 1861. The youngest, John J. Moss (1843-1862), wounded at Malvern Hill, died a month later on 1 Jul 1862 at Richmond, VA. The mother of the Moss brothers, Ruth Peek Moss (1815-1863) died early that year. She and three of the Moss brothers are Journeys Through Jackson Summer 2014 106 buried in Hamburg Church Cemetery. Milton W. Moss (1840-1864) was killed near Petersburg, VA on 17 Jun 1864. He was named for his father, Milton Moss (9 Aug 1811- 1 Jun 1887). The brothers who survived the war: William W. Moss (1837-1924) was wounded in the right thigh at Petersburg, VA on 30 Jul 1864, a few weeks after his brother died near Petersburg; David Moss (1838-1900) was captured and confined at a Federal hospital in Maryland, Sep 1862. He was wounded in the ankle at Fredricksburg, VA, Dec 1862.; and James Edwin Moss (1842-1931) was wounded in the head in VA in June 1862. Alva “Alvie” M. Holden (16 Apr 1909-1 Feb 1986), named his son Max Edwin Holden (19 Nov 1934-28 Mar 1954) to honor him. According to Alva, a minie ball was lodged in the neck of his great-uncle James Moss andhe and his siblings were given treats by their maternal grandparents, Thomas and Elizbeth Moss; “Lizzy, get the cake and buttermilk, here they come.” Family favorite was lemon curd cake. The Moss brothers were great grandsons of Absolom Hooper (1757-1845), and wife Sarah Salers Hooper (1762- 1856) through their daughter, Elizabeth Hooper Moss (1786-1874). Absolom Hooper was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and an article on him can be found in Jackson County Heritage, NC Vol. I, 1992.

Journeys Through Jackson Summer 2014 114 Importance of Genealogical Research Genealogy comes from two Greek word γενιά meaning generation and γνώση meaning knowledge. Genealogy, also known as family history, is the study of families, tracing their lineages and discovering the history behind the surname. Some people have specific reasons as to why they should trace their family tree, others do not give it much thought. However, there is common ground between people looking towards the past. Everyone is looking for more insight about their ancestors and how they came to be. Genealogical research helps satisfy the need to understand the journey of the past. Genealogy is unique and personalized for each family. Without having these connections to our ancestors we would have little to no knowledge of our past family members and past culture. Genealogical research grants us the access to see the times our ancestors faced, the things they experienced, the way they lived, and the personality or traits they had. Valuable lessons come from learning about our ancestors and their ethics. Research can also open up the doorway to your family’s health, knowing the family history for diseases and illnesses can help doctors predict and possibly prevent you from developing those same problems. Genealogical research allows us to understand the person we are, where we came from and how we can (sic) to be here today. It gives us a better understanding of our own identity, helps us identify with past family members, identify with our culture, and identify with our heritage. Journeys Through Jackson Summer 2014 115 The other Scholarship winner is Daniel Hickman, also a Senior at Blue Ridge High School. He was involved in basketball, golf and soccer, FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), various church activities including mission trips, youth group and working with the pre-school.

Journeys Through Jackson Summer 2014 116 The Zachary-Tolbert House The Zachary-Tolbert House sits on a sturdy foundation in Cashiers, North Carolina. This beautiful landmark is a rare example of a traditional Greek revival style architecture. The home has held-up for over 150 years, and remains today as a monument of heritage to the pioneer settlers of Cashiers. I asked my best friend, Zachary John Millis, (a member of the Zachary Family), about his family heritage and what he knew about the Zachary-Tolbert House. He spoke of a man named Mordecai Zachary, who was the son of Colonel John Zachary. The father and son began clearing land for the home in the year 1842, and presented the home ten years later to Elvira Keener, as a wedding gift. Over the next 21 years, the couple produced, and raised 12 children in the home, in which one of the children was Zachary Millis’s great great grandmother. After the original family moved on and passed away, the Tolbert house still served as a home for a following three families. The families only used the Tolbert house as a summer dwelling. No one ever added electricity, plumbing, central heat, or painted the interior walls, but the home still stands today. The amazing, hand-crafted furniture was purchased long with the Tolbert house, and is essentially a tourist attraction illustrating Cashiers’ heritage and foundation. The Tolbert family enjoyed and loved the house during a majority of the twentieth century until it was purchased by the Cashiers Historical Society.

In March 2014, a ceremony was held to honor George S. Nicholson for his service to the Confederate States of America in the Civil War. George was born 15 Oct 1824 in Oconee County, South Carolina. He married Sarah “Sallie” Wilson there. George joined the CSA Army in the 12th Infantry, Company K, South Carolina. When George left to serve in October, 1864, he left behind his wife and 6 children: Martha Lucinda 1847 Robert Anderson 1850 William James Marion 1852 Sarah Taylor 1855 George Washington 1859 Warren Robert Davis 1862 In the 1870’s he moved from Oconee County to Jackson County. He bought property in Cashiers, and John’s Creek in the Caney Fork Community. When he moved here he brought with him four sons and a daughter. William James Marion moved back to Oconee County, Robert Anderson (Kenneth’s great-grandfather) married Elizabeth Hooper, his brother George Washington, married Miranda Hooper (sister to Elizabeth), Warren Robert Davis married (1) Emily Rochester and then (2) Debbie Massingale Mull. George S. was captured on 2 Apr 1865 at Petersburg, Virginia. He arrived at City Point, Virginia on 4 Apr 1865. He appears on a roll of sick prisoners of war at Point Lookout, Maryland. He was released on 8 Jun 1865, after taking the oath of allegiance to the United States. George passed away on 1 Jan 1895 in Jackson County, and is buried at East La Porte Cemetery.

George Washington Shuler D. Martha Jane Shuler m. John McDowell Ashe 3. John Henry Shuler A. William Allen Shuler B. Margaret Elizabeth Shuler m. George Key 4. Mary An Shuler m. Elias Franklin A. William Riley Franklin 5. William Shuler 6. Leander Shuler 7. Sarah Shuler 8. Amanda Shuler 1. Matilda Shuler’s husband, Samuel Parris would have been 60 years old in 1863 according to the date on his tombstone (1803-1891). 2. Emanuel Manson Shuler would have been about 47 years old I 1862. I have not found Civil War records for him. 2A. William Leander Shuler and his cousin Fidelia/Phidelia Shuler joined Thomas’ Legion on the same day, Apr. 20, 1863. Phidelia and William Leander were both in Co. F, Infantry. William Nichols, Nancy Shuler’s husband, and Abraham Burton Shuler (both from John Shuler’s line) were in Co. F. According to The History of the Shuler Family and the Heritage books, he walked back home from Virginia at the end of the war and “stopped to spend the night at John Brown’s home on Balsam Mountain” and met his future wife, Mary Matilda Brown. The History also says that Mary Shuler was “receiving a Civil War pension of $150 during the Great Depression.” Pension Applications from the NC State Archives show that W. L.’s wife applied for a pension in 1906 when she was 67 years old and again in 1931 when she was “totally and permanently disabled.” She would have received $12 a month and this last application was for an increase in the pension based on her condition. This last application was submitted by her son, R. B. Shular who gives written testimony that she is confined to her home. The Application for increase was received in Raleigh November 19, 1931. 2B. Jacob Marion Shuler, the third child of Emanuel and Eliza Shuler joined the CSA, Sept. 1, 1864, at age 17. He was in Co. F NC 29th. According to NC Troops, he participated in the defense of Mobile, Alabama, and was captured at Spanish Fort, Mobile, Alabama, on April 8, 1865, and imprisoned on Ship Island, Mississippi on April 10, 1865. On May 1, he was transferred to Vicksburg, Mississippi, and was paroled at Meridian, Mississippi o May 11, 1865. NC Confederate Pension records show J. M Shuler applying for his pension in 1905. Ship Island was a desolate barrier island twelve miles off the coast of Mississippi. It was a detention center for the Union army. The number of men held there peaked by April 1865 because of the 3,000 men captured at Mobile and held on the island. The stay was short because they were sent to Vicksburg to be exchanged for Union men. Writing about Ship Island after the war, the soldiers talked about the sand, lack Journeys Through Jackson Summer 2014 134 of trees, the oppressive heat, and the terrible biting insects. They said it was hard on the eyes for those soldiers without “green glasses.” 2C. George Washington Shuler’s Pension Application was filed when he was 72 and living in Sylva it says he served in Co. G of Thomas’ Legion and that he had joined in 1863. The application says he received “no wounds.” The Pension was approved in Jackson County July 7, 1924. Another set of records from the State Archived show his widow, Malinda Caroline Shuler filled in an application for a Pension September 28, 1927. In it, she says that she had married George March 21, 1879. Her application was approved October 12, 1928, and the outside fold of the document calls he “Salinda Shuler.” She signed the documents with a mark, so her first name seemed dependent on the person filling in the forms for her. There is also an application for “Increase Pension” dated December 5, 1931, with a note that she later died January 13, 1932. At the time of her original application, she had a physician and the Clerk of Superior Court validate that she was totally disabled and confined to her home, unable to do work of any kind and unable to look after herself. What is strange about George’s and his wife’s applications is that the History of the Shuler Family says George was born in 1853. If he entered the War in 1863, he would have been only ten years old. Also, a detailed listing of Company G of Thomas’ Legion shows that all of the men in that particular Company were from Tennessee, not NC, ad George is not listed anywhere. Everything else about the Pension Application seems to match the History. It was validated by F. I. Watson as “accurate,” ad witnessed by C. A. Bryson in 1924. Perhaps the age of George W. and his wife at the time of the application accounts for the errors. 2D. NC Troops says this about Martha Jane Shuler’s husband, John Ashe: “NC Pension records appear to indicate that he served in Co. F, Infantry, Thomas’ Legion. Survived the War.” 3. John Henry Shuler had moved to Newton County, Arkansas in 1854 according to The History of the Shuler Family and served in the 6th Regiment, Arkansas Infantry, Co. G as a Private. 3A. William Allen Shuler served in Co. F Arkansas 27th Infantry regiment according to the Index to Compiled Confederate Military Service. William “H.” Shuler is also listed, and based on the records I’ve seen, the “A” and “H” are often mixed up, because the flourish of the old handwriting makes the letters hard to distinguish. This record says he was born about 1841 and died in 1924. He enlisted at age 23 in Newton County, Arkansas, on 10 Feb 1864 as a Pvt, in Co. D. Arkansas 2nd Calvary Regiment. The place and birth date all match The History of the Shuler Family. This data was also confirmed under the following source: Arkansas Civil War Service Records of Confederate Soldiers 1861-1865 under the index “Allen Shuler.” 3B George Key, husband of Margaret Elizabeth Shuler, served in three Confederate Regiments in Arkansas: 11th Regiment, Infantry, Companies H and B, as a Pvt.; 11th and 17th Consolidated Regiment Infantry (Griffiths); and 2nd Regiment, Arkansas Cavalry, Co. D. This information is supplied by Arkansas Civil War Records of Confederate Soldiers 1861-1865. 4A. William Riley Franklin, the son of Mary Ann Shuler Franklin also joined the NC 29th and served in the Infantry, Co. F. His father, Elias had died before the War began. 5. According to the State Archive’s Pension records, W. M. Shuler made an application to the Home for Disabled or “Soldier’s Home Association” in 1892. This was a home in Raleigh, and its inception I described as follows on NCpedia: “The movement to build a home in NC ffically began on 20 May, 1884, when a number of prominent Confederate veterans headed by Senator Zebulon B. Vance convened at the courthouse in Charlotte and organized the NC Confederate Home Association to solicit and accept donations for ‘the accommodation’ of ‘ maimed, disabled and indigent heroes’ and unfortunate victims of the Lost Cause.” I found his application for admission to the Soldier’s Home at the State Archives, dated Journeys Through Jackson Summer 2014 135 June 25, 1892. In it, he states he is 61 years old, not married, is 5 1/2 feet tall, and that his nearest kin is a brother, E. M. Shuler of Scotts Creek, NC. I assume this is Emanuel Manson. He describes his situation as a “general failure in health.” He writes that he enlisted August 31, 1861, in Webster, NC, when he was 31 years old, and was mustered into the 29th Regiment, Co. F, and was discharged at the end of the war. NC Troops adds that William mustered out 4 May 1865, at Citronelle, Alabama. The application is blank in the spot where the Executive Committee would have approved his admission. The History of the Shuler Family provides some information about William, but nothing dealing with him and the Civil War. I am making an educated assumption that this is Jacob Shuler’s son because all of the other “William Shulers” I have found don’t have a brother with the initials E. M. who has an address that matches the Census information of Emanuel Manson (Scotts Creek). 6. NC Troops says Leander “Resided in Jackson Co. where he enlisted age 27, May 30, 1861. He was in Co. B, 25th Regiment NC Infantry, which was known as the “Jackson Guards” and raised in Jackson County May 30, 1861. This means Leander was with the group of men in Webster on the first day of enlistment. He was present or accounted for until he died in a hospital in Petersburg, VA July 28, 1862, of “ty[phoid] Febris” (Typhoid Fever). This account in NC Troops surprised me, not because he died of Typhoid, since so many died of unsanitary water and battlefield conditions in general, but because he died in a hospital. Books about the Richmond-Petersburg Campaign of 1864 not that military hospitals first appeared in Petersburg July 1861 and within a year (the time of Leander’s death), Petersburg had seven military hospitals that treated sick and wounded soldiers. Various rail line were connected to Petersburg, so a steady stream of troops and supplies entered the city. Petersburg was also the headquarters for a number of Confederate military departments, including the Department of NC (June 21, 1862). He great battle that occurred there leading to Lee’s surrender at Appomattox didn’t occur until April 1865, long after Leander was dead, but statistics of the total of casualties of Confederates in Petersburg were 3,236, and I assume that number includes the total war years. I do not know if Leander is buried at Petersburg, but I assume so, and today it is a National Battlefield site anyone can visit. 7. Sarah Shuler Not much information is available on Sarah. 8. Amanda Shuler Not much information is available on Amanda. John Shuler m. Sally Wiggins The family lived in Deep Creek, NC, Graham Co., NC and Sevier Co. TN John Shuler was a wealthy farmer who owned slaves and many acres of land in and around Bryson City. Sally Wiggins, John’s wife, was the daughter of Abram Wiggins and Nancy Colvard (or Calvert) Wiggins. Nancy was the sister of William H. Thomas’s mother, Temperance. Nancy and Temperance were also the first cousins to Zachary Taylor (the 12th US President). Additionally, Taylor was the father-in-law of Confederate President Jefferson Davis who had married Taylor’s daughter, Sarah Knox. John Shuler and William Thomas had enjoyed a long history of business transactions before the War, so it is not surprising that when William created “Thomas’ Legion” made up of mountain men and Native Americans, John Shuler’s family in particular were among his soldiers, and with the exception of one son, were all Confederate. 1.

Thomas Jefferson Shuler (Twin) 8. George Washington Shuler (Twin) 9. William Peyton Shuler 10. David Manuel Shuler 11. Sarah Ann Shuler 1. John Franklin Shuler was quite a soldier. According to NC Troops John Franklin had enlisted at age 36 August 31, 1861, in Thomas’s Legion on the same day that his brothers James, William Peyton, Thomas Jefferson and cousin, William M. had joined. NC Troops says, “He served as a Private in Company H Walker’s Battalion. Reported on detail with an engineer company from August 4, 11863 until February, 1864.” Specifically, the Muster Roll says he was “entailed with Engineer by order of Gen. Buckner, Aug. 7, 1863.” (However, Federal Provost Marshal records indicate that he was serving with Company C of this battalion by February 2, 1864, when he was captured in Jackson County, probably at Deep Creek near Quallatown.) “Confined at Knoxville, Tennessee, February 7, 1864. Transferred to Nashville, Tennessee. Transferred to Louisville, Kentucky, February 28, 1864. Confined at Fort Delaware, Delaware, on March 4, 1864. Paroled at Fort Delaware on September 28, 1864. Received at Varina, Virginia, October for exchange. Reported in hospital at Richmond, Virginia, October 10, 1864. He rejoined or transferred back to Company F 29t Regiment, NC Troops prior to February 1, 1865” (NC Troops). After his return to the 29th he was sent to Mississippi by train and “was hospitalized at Meridian, Mississippi, February 2, 1865, with an unspecified wound. The place and date wounded are not reported. He transferred to Marion, Alabama on an unspecified date. Nor further records are available.” Thus he served both in NC 29th and Thomas’ Legion. The Widow’s Application for Pension from NC State Archives shows Sophronia applied for the pension in Graham County, NC in 1901, the year after John Franklin died. A few of his records re under “J. F. Schuler.” Most of the original documents showing him as being hospitalized or as a prisoner of war are available for viewing online through Ancestry.com. Records show that 10% of all Civil War fatalities were the result of imprisonment. I found that the Louisville Military Prison typically held about 3,000 men and covered a whole city block in Louisville. It must have seemed humane after his next move to Fort Delaware. The six months John F. spent at Fort Delaware before the exchange must have been horrible because it is listed “as perhaps the prison most feared by Confederate troops.” Fort Delaware was located on Pea Patch Island on 6 acres of land, with a stockade built like a pentagon. It was probably never meant to hold more than 4,000 men History books relate that the men did have some shelter, but after the Battle of Gettysburg, the number of prisoners swelled to almost 13,000 men, leading to horrible conditions. Scurvy, malnutrition, and smallpox were prevalent, as was the ever-present louse, along with mumps, and dysentery. At least a thousand were seriously ill at any given time. There are many details about the horrible conditions at Fort Delaware, but I am including just one, written by a Captain who was also a prisoner there: “Not long after my arrival I heard a cry, “Rat call! Rat call!” I went out to see what this meant. A number of prisoners ere moving and running up near the partition, over which a sergeant was standing and presently he began throwing rats sown. The prisoners scrambled for the rats like school boys for apples … Of course but few were lucky enough to get a rat. The rats were cleaned, put in salt water awhile and fried. Their flesh was tender and not unpleasant to the taste.” In general, the food was so scarce and poor that another soldier from Georgia wrote that he went from 140 pounds to 80 during his imprisonment at Fort Delaware. The Union fort was dubbed The Fort Delaware Death Pen.” (Information from ww.civilwarprisons.) Luckily for John F. he was there only six months and then was part of a prisoner exchange. It is no wonder, then, that he went immediately to a hospital when he was released and transferred to Virginia. Journeys Through Jackson Summer 2014 137 Love’s Chapel United Methodist Church History ED: These two articles were found in some of the many donations to the Society. One was written in 1963 and the other was written in 1996. No name was attached as the donor. We have included them both in this one article. 1963 Love’s Chapel Methodist Church was organized in 1840 by Daniel Payne, and a log meeting house was built near the present site. An acre of land was given the Methodists by John B. Love and was named Love’s Meeting House in his honor. The name was later changed to Love’s Chapel Methodist Church. In a booklet published in 1907 by C. H Clyde, pastor in charge at that time and who wrote a brief history of the churches of Webster Charge, is found this paragraph: “Love’s Meeting House was still standing when Jackson County was organized in 1851. The first County Court was organized in this Meeting House with E. Douglas Davis as first sheriff. The Rev. J. R. Long baptised (sic) the meeting with prayer. W. Marion Ashe was the man who drew the jury.” Later the congregation built a box house, which did not prove very satisfactory, and in the year 1890 another house was built. The congregation numbered 53. Trustees of church property were David Rogers, Daniel Fulbright, J. W. Bumgarner, Adolphus Bumgarner and George Extine. Love’s Chapel first belonged to the Tuckaseegee (sic) Circuit, Asheville District, Holston Conference. Later it changed to Webster Circuit, Waynesville District, Western North Carolina Conference, with Franklin being the home of the Presiding Elder as they were then called. In 1912 the Methodism headquarters in Waynesville District was moved to Waynesville from Franklin, then later to Lake Junaluska, where District Superintendent now resides. Love’s Chapel Church opened its doors to all denominations and both Baptists and Episcopalians attended and took an active part in its services. It was used for a community house in general, being a place for community gatherings and entertainments. It was used for a school house for many years The last school taught there was about the year 1904. The record shows the following list of teachers who taught there: P. P. Paige R.

John Cline was sent to the Webster Chaarge, followed by the Rev Mr. Teague, and in that year the congregation decided to build another church building as the old one had become inadequate. A building program got under way. The building committee was comprised of J. W. Davis, John W. Bumgarner, Isaac C. Davis, F. H. Evans, and C. W. Ashe. The finance committee was appointed of the following: J. W. Davis, treasurer; Mrs. Mary Bumgarner, Mrs. F. H. Evans, Mrs. Tyra Davis, Mrs. R. O. Bumgarner. The congregation used an old empty building nearby for services while the building was under construction. W. A. Stillwell was the contractor. The Rev. M. Cline was very instrumental in getting te building started. He was followed in 1919 by Elzie Myers, then J. W. Bennett, T. W. Plyler and Van B. Harrison, who was instrumental in getting the building finished and financed. In the fall of 1924 the Rev. F. W. Cook followed Mr. Harrison, and the last remaining debt was paid off and it was dedicated during his ministry in 1925. The following is a list of pastors who have served the church from 1925 to 1957: Revs. F. W. Kiker, V. R Masters, H. G. Highfill, E. C. Price, G. A. Hovis, J. C. Gentry, B. C. Moss, Parker Hager, E. A. Fitzgerald, John Kinkaid, Bruce Roberts, Albert Gordon, S. J. Lawrence, O. E. Thorne, J. Carl Sorrells. And now, under the leadership of the present minister, the Rev J. Carl Sorrells, the congregation has grown; with another new building contemplated a building committee was formed, with J. Vernon Hoyle as chairman and Lewis W. Bumgarner, chairman of the finance committee. On April 9, 1962, a groundbreaking service was conducted by the minister, Mr. Sorrells, and the first spade of dirt was turned by Mrs. Fannie Franklin the oldest living member of the church, and a well was drilled. The following September construction of the building was started with Don Buchanan being the contractor. Work progressed rapidly and by May, 1963, the old church building was torn down and the congregation met in the assembly hall for services until the pews and pulpit furniture were installed in the sanctuary. And today the building is finished. The first worship services in the sanctuary will be held Sunday July 14. 1996 Love’s Chapel United Methodist Church is located at the South end of Lovesfield adjacent to NC Highway 107 and adjacent to Fairview Memorial Gardens. Love’s Chapel organized by Daniel Payne began in 1840 as a log meeting house. It was built near the present site on an acre of land donated to the Methodists by John B. Love. This meeting house was used to organize the first court in Jackson County. Later the congregation built a box house but it did not prove satisfactory, so in 1890 another church was built. Love’s Chapel welcomed all denominations including Baptists and Episcopalians who attended and took an active part in services. The church served as a community facility for gatherings and entertainments. It also served as a school until 1904. Journeys Through Jackson Summer 2014 139 By 1907, the third building was undergoing repairs. Though not very large, it was described as “ a very nice building.” Love’s Chapel was part of the Webster Circuit which also included Webster, Culowhee, Speedwell, Wesleyanna, East La Porte and John’s Creek. In 1939 Wesley Chapel was also placed on this circuit. In 1918, the congregation decided to construct another building because the one they were using was inadequate. According to one handwritten diary entry, “Love’s Chapel was tore down August the 5 and 6th days of 1919. Commenced to build the new church Sept. the 16, 1919, then left off building till Feb. the 17, 1920 and finished it Aug. 1920.” An old clay factory on the River Road was cleaned and straw used to cover the floor so that services could be held during construction of the new building. In 192, Love’s Chapel, Wesleyanna and Wesley Chapel were taken from the Webster Circuit and dded to the newly formed Sylva Circuit. In 198, Wesley Chapel was closed and the circuit name was changed to Love’s Chapel – Wesleyanna. By 1962 Love’s Chapel had grown to 120 members and again faced the need for a new facility. A ground-breaking service was conducted by the Rev J. Carl Sorrels on April 9, 1962, and the first spade of dirt was turned by Mrs. Fannie Franklin, the oldest member f the church. The mortgage on this fifth building was paid in twelve years and on June 16, 1974. Earl G. Hunt, Jr., Bishop of the Western North Carolina United Methodist Conference conducted the dedication ceremony. On April, 9, 1978, our church parsonage was dedicated with Western North Carolina United Methodist Conference, Bishop Scott Allen presiding. Also participating were Waynesville District Superintendent Rev. Glenn Lackey and our Pastor, Rev. Robert Burnett. On August 28, 1988, Love’s Chapel celebrated its annual homecoming. Dr. Ernest A. Fitzgerald Bishop of the Atlanta area United Methodist Church was the guest minister. Dr. Fitzgerald began his ministry as a supply pastor for the Webster Circuit 1944-47. While he was the Webster Circuit Minister, he attended and graduated, with honors, from Western Carolina Teacher’s College (now Western Carolina University). In 1991, Ila Henson and Lousie Queen were honored for their many years of service to the church. Ila was recognized for approximately 5 years that she served as musician. Louise took over the piano duties in 1973 and served until 1990 when Robin Nations, a Smoky Mountain High School senior became the church pianist. In 1996, the Love’s Chapel family was invited to two 50th wedding anniversary receptions. One was for Hubert and Nina Harris and the other for Theodore and Eloise Taylor. On the first Sunday in November (November 3, 1996), Love’s Chapel celebrated “All Saints Day” as we remembered the dead, both of the church universal and of our local congregation. The names of persons in our congregation who have died during the past year include: Lizzie Barnes, Catherine Davis, Jennie Dillard, Carter Deitz, Roy Henson, Grover Kilpatrick and Louise Queen. We are looking forward to having a church Newsletter beginning in December 1996. Jeanne Bumgarner and Janna Deitz will be the editors. After many discussions over a number of years, the outlook is promising for an organized United Methodist Men’s Group in 1997.
