Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Presbyterian Church of Gastonia, N. C: A History The ensuing pages might well be called the First Addition to the comprehensive and exhaustive history of the First Presbyterian Church of Gastonia, N. C., as compiled in 1948 by the late Hugh A. Query, an elder and clerk of the session. This addition endeavors to depict the major work of the congrega tion between that period and midyear of 1961. Space limitations, naturally, limit many details of the devoted and unselfish work done by various members of the congregation, but major accomplishments have been outlined in an effort to bring before the congregation outstanding accomplishments of the past dozen or more years. Personal references have been made in a few cases primarily as examples of the services rendered throughout the years and of the sted fast devotion to the church and its causes by families now represented by the third, and in some cases, fourth generations. To all who have labored faithfully and in a consecrated manner, the church is deeply indebted and to them is due much credit for the successful activities throughout the years. The compilation of this record was made primarily by Charles F. Daniel, an elder in the church and member since 1944, at the request of the Memorials committee. Mr. Daniel has done extensive research of church records, has made lots of personal interviews, and reminiscences have also had a part in this writing. The Memorials committee hereby expresses its deep gratitude to Mr. Daniel for his faithful and zealous efforts in making possible this first addition to the Church's history. The committee extends its thanks also to all others who have cooperated generously and hopes that this record will be an inspiration to greater achievements in the work of the church.
