Contributed by Frankie Miller

This registry of Pastors and members was taken from the original books of the Wesley Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church, South dated 1893 to 1962. These books were in the possession of Mrs. Bernice "Raynalds" Keelin for many years, and now are in the possession of one of her daughters Mrs. Margaret DeBord who has given me permission to submit them for research. The wording and names are written as they were in the books, and therefore may not be spelled correctly.
