There were no steady
missionaries or rectors serving this church
for many years, and many baptisms were performed at St Paul's Anglican
Church in Londonderry. From 1874 to 1889, the people were served by
missionaries who came to serve this community and church. In 1890, Rev.
Dewolfe Cowie took up residence in the area. He had previously served
as a missionary here. At a meeting on Easter 1890, it was agreed that
St. Marks in Sussex Corner would remain connected with the Parish of
Waterford. Today, the rector serves St. Marks in Sussex Corner, St John
the Evangelist in Waterford, All Saints in Jeffries Corner and, once a
year, holds a service in old St. Paul's Anglican in Londonderry, now a
vacant community. McAlpine's
Gazetteer of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and
Newfoundland
for 1919 does not list the Anglican church, but it definitely exsted at
this time. According to the 1861 census, this church would have served
between 40 and 50 families at that time.
