Good morning from
Applejack Lane. I haven't posted in a while because I've been making
history. Well, that is not exactly true. It's been more like I have been
recording history-our
church history, that is.
For the last five years, I have been the historian of our church.
Hebron, established in 1746, is one of the five oldest Presbyterian churches in Augusta County which at one time encompassed
nine states that ran all the way to the Mississippi River. The history of our county with all the English grants is quite an interesting and colorful one as well.
This is the third building erected on the property in 1901. The second burned on Christmas Eve, 1900 following a
wedding. Someone left a
fire unattended.

Colonial era re-enactors for our Cemetery Tour...
Back to the history...
I am
neither a writer or a historian, but I do the best that I can. But it's printed and placed in our notebook in the jelly cabinet in our Session Room just waiting to be read or collect
dust- whatever histories tend to do. I have copies ready to be sent to the Columbia Theological Seminary Library in Decatur, Georgia to be added to the Presbyterian archives. This project takes the better part of my spare time in January, and I am just
tickled pink (did you hear that sigh?) that it is done and reasonably accurate. Now I can have a
good day at
Applejack Lane.
