JIM: 90 years ago. Pollards Chapel dedicated Hometown Evangelist Pat Davis, from Milltown, KY, was the principal speaker at the dedication which took place June 4, 1921. Pollard's Chapel UMC is located at 2251 Sulphur Springs RD (MAP), Columbia, KY, between Clay Ridge and Cane Valley, KY. By "Jim" Let every body get ready to spend a happy and profitable day at Pollard's Chapel the first Sunday in June, as the new church will be dedicated on that day. All the older people have a special invitation as it will be a home coming to many of them, and may never come to them again. - From the Cane Valley newsletter in the Adair County News, May 3, 1921. Pollard's Chapel Dedicated A tremendous crowd of people assembled at Pollard's Chapel last Sunday [June 4th, 1921], the occasion being the dedication of the new church completed a short time ago. Many years ago when Pat Davis was quite a young man in the Milltown neighborhood, [he] concluded to preach, and his first sermon was delivered in the old church, on the same grounds which the new building now occupies. The boys and girls that he was reared with, and many of the older people were out to hear him. From that day he took up local work, and for a number of years he has been a prominent minister in the Methodist church, serving congregations in different parts of the State. For the past fifteen years he has been in evangelistic work, and hundreds have been converted under his preaching. The people in the neighborhood concluded that Rev. Davis was the proper minister to dedicate the new church. He was invited to come, accepted, and on last Sunday he faced something like a thousand people who gathered in a grove near the building. After a debt of over three hundred dollars was assumed, Rev. Davis, in a most interesting discourse, dedicated the new church at the service of God. After the sermon, dinner was announced, and such an abundance food, consisting of ham, chicken, mutton, fresh pork, and many different kinds of delicacies were never before spread before an Adair county audience. It was a great day of rejoicing, long to be remembered. Pollard Chapel neighborhood has long been known for her generous hospitality, and while the preparations for this occasion were done on a much larger scale than usual, it was done cheerfully, all the donors feeling happy over the day. Rev. Davis lives in Louisville, the metropolis of the state, but with all her advantages, he is never happier than when he is preaching to the people of his home county. - From the Adair County News, June 7, 1921. (The June 14, 1921 edition of the News - the issue in which the community correspondents would have mentioned the dedication - is missing.) This story was posted on 2011-06-14 03:35:53
