By Mike Ellis

I have fond memories as a child of attending the Pellyton Church in the late 50\s and early 60's and I remember it being a Methodist church then.



I remember that my father started peaching there; he also being a Methodist.

I remember Mr Ben Drake singing bass in the choir, my grandfather Enoch Ellis leading the singing, and Willie Mings. I remember Joyce Coomer's father and mother, my aunt Lois Ellis, and my cousins Billy and Betty Ellis, and others,

I remember Mrs, Ben (Mabel) Drake teaching me in my first church sunday school class and getting moved up to a older class taught by grandmother Mrs Enoch (Susie) Ellis and my memory verse was always John 11 verse 35: "Jesus wept," until she told my Dad.

Travis Keltner from the Portland-Tarter community was the preacher in the early 60's having retired a few years back from the Methodist church.
