A. HISTORICAL SKETCH

The Western North Carolina Conference shall include all North Carolina west of the North Caro- lina Conference, except Savannah Church, in Alleghany County, North Carolina; and also that part of North Carolina lying north of the New River, and including that part of Virginia lying south of that river in the loop in Grayson County, Virginia; including all the territory in Carroll and Patrick Coun- ties, Virginia, south of the crest of the Blue Ridge, and west of the Dan River. (Discipline, 1948, ¶ 1957) This territory is identical with that of the Western North Carolina Conference of the former Methodist Episco- pal Church, South. All three branches of Methodism forming The Methodist Church were included in this new conference. From the Blue Ridge-Atlantic Conference of the former Methodist Episcopal Church came 39 min- isters and 11,901 church members. The North Carolina Conference of the former Methodist Protestant Church contributed 74 ministers and 22,361 church members. The Western North Carolina Conference of the former Methodist Episcopal Church, South, added 377 ministers and 167,028 church members. This gave the new conference 490 members, with 28 others on trial, and 201,290 church members. The Blue Ridge-Atlantic Con- ference has held 62 sessions; the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, 112; and the Western North Carolina, 50 (see Journal, 1939, pp. 115, 169). The Western North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church was formed on June 5, 1968, by the merger of the Western North Carolina Conference and that portion of the North Carolina-Virginia Confer- ence situated within the bounds of the Western North Carolina Conference (see Journal, 1968, p. 84). The North Carolina-Virginia Conference had been organized in Greensboro on August 11, 1964, and, in addition to the organizational session, held four sessions prior to the 1968 merger.

F. MEMOIRS OF DECEASED CLERGY AND DIACONAL MINISTERS

JAMES GRANT ALLRED, SR. March 4, 1917 – June 19, 2004

James Grant Allred, Sr., age 87, passed from life into life eter- nal on June 19, 2004, surrounded by his beloved family. The fu- neral was held at New Mount Tabor United Methodist Church in Richfield, North Carolina, conducted by his son, James G. Allred, Jr.; R. Michael O’Brien; Brian M. Crady; and his lifelong faithful friend, Harold McKinnish. James began his ministry at the early age of 14, preaching a revival where many professions of faith were witnessed. Although he was a faithful pastor under appointment in the Western North Carolina Conference from 1942 until his retirement in 1982, he thought of himself as an evangelist. He would frequently say in his sermons throughout his ministry, “I want to be remembered as a preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Born on March 4, 1917, in Burlington, North Carolina, to the late William Stanley and Rosa Hope Grant Allred, James was the seventh of 11 children. He vividly remembered being called to his mother’s deathbed when he was but 10 years of age. Rosa said goodbye to each of her children and told them she would see them again in heaven. He attended Central Wesleyan College in Central, South Carolina; Brevard College at Brevard, North Carolina; Louisburg College in Louisburg, North Carolina; and Duke Divinity School in Durham, North Carolina. James served 14 appointments and was long remembered by parishioners for his deep sincerity, preaching, and pastoral care. In several of the communities where he served, requests were made for him to conduct funerals and care for the sick or dying outside the membership of his church. James was licensed to preach in 1940, ordained deacon in 1954 and elder in 1956, admitted on trial in the Western North Carolina Conference in 1963, and elected to membership in full connection in 1965. He served the following appointments during his active ministry: Bald Creek, 1942-44; Balfour, 1944-45; Rosman, 1945- 50; Newdale, 1950-53; Cleveland Circuit, 1953-55; Oak Grove-St. Paul, 1955-56; Reidsville Circuit, 1956-59; Mount Vernon, 1959-62; Richfield-New Mt. Tabor, 1962-64; Friendship (Albemarle District), 1964-69; Prospect (Albemarle District), 1969-73; Haw River Circuit, 1973-75; Marion: Clinchfield-Nebo, 1975-78; and Unionville, 1978-82. He was granted retirement in 1982 and served at Midway (Albemarle District) as a retired supply dur- ing the 1983-84 conference year. James and Evelyn Rose Williams were married on July 5, 1940, and to them were born six children: Rose Annette (Steed), on September 2, 1941; Martha Faye (Yokley), on March 1, 1943; James Grant, Jr., on May 7, 1945; Doris Evelyn (Hatley), on July 2, 1947; John Stanley, on September 10, 1949; and David Phillip, on May 15, 1952. They also had 14 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. James loved to sing hymns and gospel songs of the faith, and he taught his children very early to sing in harmony. While they were still in the home, they continually sang together as a family. James loved laughter and always had a humorous story to tell. He never allowed life’s difficulties to drag him down. His sense of hu- mor always seemed to keep him buoyant and full of hope. His oldest grandson, Mark, prepared remarks for his funeral, a few of which are included here: When I was a little boy, I went to a revival with Grandpa and Grandmother. During the revival, something happened that has slowly changed the direction of my life. One evening, at the close of the service, Grandpa gave an invitation. Grandmother took me with her to the altar, and we knelt there in the dim light of the candles. I remember Grandpa coming up to the altar in front of me. I didn’t know much about prayer, so I watched my Grandpa. To this very day I am still learning from my Grandpa, who was earnest and consumed in his prayers. His prayers were simple and consisted of one word. He simply repeated the name ‘Jesus.’ Through the years, I have forgotten many things, but that memory is still vivid in my mind. When I remember my Grandpa, I will remember his brush strokes on the canvas of my life. I will remember that he loved and was loved. Grandpa’s life was the demonstration of the spiritual freedom that we need and the world thirsts for. He lived out loud, emotions on his sleeve, flying on the winds of Spirit and trust. He knew one of the great secrets of the universe: that it is OK to fail. In fact, what is seen as the world’s failure is heaven’s total victory. Grandpa trusted in God’s goodness and grace. He was one of a kind, like a stranger in a foreign land, and made me feel so good. It wasn’t any one thing that he did. It was soft ice cream, rides through rugged mountains in the back of a pickup truck, watermelon, coon dogs, corny jokes, black coffee, and praying before we did anything or everything. He was never pretentious and could walk with a prince or a pauper, being comfortable inside his own skin. Grandpa was possibly the most trusting person I have ever known. He lived in the knowledge that God’s good- ness is not measured by a standard that our eyes can see. Rather, God’s goodness can only be seen in the example of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. The Family of James G. Allred, Sr.

WILLIAM WEBSTER BLANTON April 25, 1923 – February 18, 2005

William Webster Blanton was born on April 25, 1923, in Char- lotte, North Carolina. He was one of seven children born to the late Lawrence E. and Marian Dickinson Blanton. Daddy knew at an early age that the Lord had laid His hands on him and called him into the ministry. After graduating from Mitchell College, he was licensed to preach in May 1942 in a Methodist church and continued his studies at Davidson College. Following graduation in 1944 with an A.B. degree, he went on to complete his school- ing at Duke Divinity School, where he received his B.D. in 1948. While at Duke, he married Sarah Elizabeth Hill on March 23, 1947. He was ordained deacon on October 12,1947, and admit- ted to the Western North Carolina Conference; admitted to full connection in 1950; and ordained elder in The Methodist Church on September 28,1952. Daddy’s first appointment after his ordination was to the Salem Circuit, Mount Airy, in October of 1948. His first child, Sarah Elizabeth, was born on October 6, 1948, and his second child, William Webster, Jr., was born on December 30, 1949. His next appointment, from 1952 to 1956, was First Church, Wilkesboro, where his third child, Mary Frazier, was born on December 12, 1953. From Wilkes County, Daddy moved to Stony Point Church, where he served from 1956 to 1958. The Methodist Church then appointed him to serve as executive secretary for the Town and Country Commission in Statesville (1958-61). From 1961 to 1964, he served First Church, Mocksville, and from 1964 to 1968, he served the Gibsonville Methodist Church. From 1968 to 1970, he was assigned to coordinate the Blue Ridge Methodist Service Project. From October of 1969 until June of 1970, he served as interim pastor at Davidson Church, Davidson. Then, in 1970, he was ap- pointed as pastor to Union Grove and the North Iredell Cooperative Ministry, which consisted of four churches. In 1974, Daddy was appointed to the Harmony charge, which also had four churches. He was appointed to the three-church West Forsyth charge in Pfafftown in 1978 and served until 1981. From there he went to West End Church in Thomasville, and after seven years there, he retired in 1988 to Statesville. Even though retired, he continued to preach, serving as interim at Troutman: First and Harmony churches. In 1992, he took an ap- pointment as associate minister at Broad Street Church, Statesville, and remained in service there until 1997. As he carried out the spiritual functions of each appointment, Daddy conducted worship services, preached, and often led the singing of hymns praising the glories of his God and King. With unwavering faith, my father served his Lord in a spirit of thanksgiving for the blessings that continued to fill his cup. Although Daddy’s early years were spent in the Presbyterian Church, he found the doctrine of John Wesley and The Methodist Church to be consistent with his theology. His lifestyle was one of prayerful reading and studying as he explored the writings of Wesley and delved into the Bible, God’s divinely-inspired Word. Daddy knew that his relationship with God the Father was his first priority. As children, we knew Mama was second in his life, and we were his third priority. Because he walked so closely with God and sought His will for his life, Daddy’s relationships with family, friends, and church members were so special. He showed the love and com- passion of Christ to those around him. As he trusted the Lord with all his being, Daddy did “find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.” All of us who were touched by Daddy are the better for his having come our way. Daddy had a special wit about him that was expressed in his family life and carried over into his one outside interest: golf. While he did not get to play often, this game was something he enjoyed with friends and family members, including grandson Matthew, younger daughter Mary, and son Bill. He always helped his partners find pleasure in their golf game, even though the scores reflected their amateur status. Shortly after Mama and Daddy celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary, Daddy was diagnosed with de- mentia and Parkinson’s. He gradually began leaving us. After he entered the Brian Center in Statesville on Au- gust 1, 2003, he frequently did not know us; but we knew him and helped him maintain his sense of dignity until his death on February 18, 2005. In recognition of this good and faithful servant, who fought the good fight, a Christian service of death and resurrection celebrating his life was held on February 21 at Broad Street United Methodist Church. Donald L. Shuman and Kevin L. Honbarger officiated, with James H. Graves, Jason W. Har- vey, and Gervase C. Hitch assisting. Burial was in the family plot at Oakwood Cemetery in Statesville. Daddy is survived by his devoted wife, Libby; his children and their spouses, Beth and Terry Walton, Bill and Joyce Trigg Blanton, and Mary and Tim Thompson; six grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and a number of family and friends who will miss his gentle spirit and his trademark crooked smile. We praise God that Daddy is dwelling in Beulah Land, in the house of the Lord forever with the angels, singing “the glory hallelujah Jubilee.” Elizabeth Blanton Walton

JASPER BOYD August 28, 1938 – September 13, 2004

Jasper (Jay) Boyd was born in Washington, North Carolina, on August 28, 1938, to James Weaver and Lydia Mae Baynor Boyd. He graduated from Bath High School in 1955, received an A.A. degree from Central Piedmont Community College in 1970, earned a B.A. degree from Pfeiffer College in 1973, and gradu- ated with a master of divinity degree from Emory University’s Candler School of Theology in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1976. Jay received his license to preach in 1966. In 1974, he was ordained deacon and admitted to probationary membership in the Western North Carolina Conference. He was admitted to full con- nection and ordained elder in 1977. He served his first appoint- ment at Charlotte: Epworth Lane from 1966 to 1970. He then served the Farmer charge, 1970-71; Rowan Mills, 1971-73; Gay Charge, Gay, Georgia, 1973-76, while studying at Candler; Unity, 1976-79; Camp Ground, 1979-81; Shelby: Central Associate, 1981-82; East Bend, 1982-84; Concord-Sharon, at Lewisville, 1984-91; Winston-Salem: Green Street, 1991-95; Cooleemee- Hardison, 1995-97, and Mount Vernon, at Trinity, 1997-98. He was granted a disability leave in 1998 and retired on June 12, 2004. Although Jay has passed, his ministry still lives on in numerous ways. He will be remembered for his groundbreaking work at Green Street, as he encouraged fellowship between an established church and its ever-changing neighborhood. Because his hands-on approach was pioneering, the conference considers Green Street today to be a model program for its urban ministries. Jay also participated in excursions to the eastern part of North Carolina as a building team member, working to restore homes damaged by hurricanes. Inspired by the achievements of the team, he returned to his home church, Burkhead in Winston-Salem, and in 1999 founded “On-Call Ministries,” a service that assists parishion- ers, not only in devastating circumstances, but also with ordinarily common tasks. An area of particular interest was Jay’s work with children. It was a priority throughout his ministry that chil- dren receive distinct and individual attention. He regularly offered children’s sermons and encouraged chil- dren’s interaction in church social activities, thus setting precedents at all of his appointments. Jay also worked with inner-city children at the Downtown Church Center in Winston-Salem, giving them the opportunity to learn skills that they might have otherwise been denied. As one illustration of his guidance and influence, he and his class built a sailboat, which they launched in 1994, an act that will remain one of his proudest achievements. Jay also tutored at Latham Elementary School in his severance years. In a letter to Ann Boyd, principal Ingrid Medlock writes, “ It is the inspiration of community members like Rev. Boyd that has caused our students to be blessed generously with contributions that allow for diverse experiences, materials and resources. Your husband’s support and volunteer efforts not only helped our children while they were students at Latham, but the experiences will positively impact them for the rest of their lives. So, it is impor- tant that you know that this dream lives on due to generous donations that have established a me- morial fund in his name. The many devoted family members and friends would like to celebrate Jay’s nature and humble spirit on this venerable occasion. Among those who survive him are his wife, Eleanor Ann Scott, whom he married on De- cember 1, 1957; his sons, Vann Alan, born on November 18, 1958, and now of Asheville, and James Scott, born on August 2, 1960, and now of Greensboro; his grandchildren, Christy, Alec, and Taylor; and his sisters, Edith Pinkham and Icelean Wynne. Jay died peacefully on September 13, 2004, at the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home in Winston-Salem. He was buried on September 17 at Sharon United Methodist Church in Lewisville. J. Scott Boyd

340 WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE

SIDNEY KERMIT BOYD May 13, 1938 – March 22, 2005

“You can run, but you cannot hide,” is how Sidney Boyd de- scribed his call to the ministry to those who would inquire about his second career as a minister in the Western North Carolina Conference. Sidney Kermit Boyd—or just plain “Sid,” as he was known to us—was a native of Tazewell County, Virginia, where he was born on May 13, 1938, the sixth of seven children born to Patsy Mae Bales and Bert Lambert Boyd. Sid began school at Raven Elementary, and it was during those formative years that his love of education was established. He en- joyed reading and learning and could never seem to get enough. During his high-school years, he developed a close relationship with the pastor of the Clearview Methodist Church. It was then that he felt the early callings of the ministry, but circumstances pre- vented him from pursuing his calling at that time. Upon graduation from Richlands High School, Sid became the first child in his fam- ily to attend college. He chose nearby Emory & Henry College, where he excelled in academic life, working his way to his first de- gree in only three years. He graduated in 1959 with a B.A. in Eng- lish and would take with him both the degree and a deep love for Emory & Henry. Sid’s love of education would later take him back to school at Radford University for an M.S. degree in 1979. In 1961, Sid was drafted into the U.S. Air Force. He proudly served his country as an airman first class until completion of his duties in 1965. Upon returning home, he began his teaching career at the local middle school and continued to teach until his retirement from Richlands High School in 1991. Sid was a staunch believer in the benefits of education, challenging his students daily to expand their knowledge beyond the confines of the town of Rich- lands and the Tazewell County school system. And all along the way, he was involved in the community and his church. He was asked once to substitute for a local scoutmaster who could not lead the regularly scheduled meeting of the local boy scout troop, and 20 years later, Sid, a scoutmaster himself now for many years, was still giving up parts of his summer vacations to take young boys to summer camp. He was also known as a per- son who worked tirelessly with local Lions clubs, always ready to lend a hand for club projects and community betterment. Sid was first married in 1960 to Jane Blankenship, and it was this marriage that brought forth two beautiful children, Mary Katherine (born on March 22, 1962) and Stephanie Elizabeth (born on October 28, 1964). In 1981, he married Betty Neal Owens and immediately gained another daughter, Bettylyn Owens Kraftt. Sid had three grandchildren, John and Sidney Durner and Jordan Kraftt. It was Sid’s marriage to Betty that put him back on track to his long-ignored call to the ministry. A local friend in Richlands, Virginia, whose name was Elizabeth Taylor, first introduced Sid and Betty. Sid loved to tease folks in North Carolina about how he and Betty were introduced in Virginia by “Liz Taylor.” Early in their relationship, Betty, also an educator, shared with Sid how she was feeling a call to the ministry. Sid could hardly believe his ears as his early calling to the ministry was renewed. Together they answered God’s call, each beginning a second career as a Methodist minister. Sid was licensed to preach in 1986. Their first work was in the Tazewell and Bluefield, Virginia, areas of the Holston Conference at Tiptop and Wright’s Valley United Methodist churches. In 1992, they moved to the Western North Carolina Conference and were assigned to the Polkton charge, where they served four churches for eight years as co-pastors. It was while assigned to Polkton that they both began the Course of Study School at Duke Divinity School and were admitted to the conference as associate members and ordained as deacons in 1996. They would continue their ministry together as co- pastors at Concord: Center, 2000-01, and then at Pilot View-Shoals-Whitaker’s Chapel, 2001-05. Sid always believed that he had been especially blessed in being half of an ordained couple and that their ministry was doubly effective because they were two together. Throughout his ministry, Sid had a marvelous ability to present profound, sometimes difficult ideas or con- cepts in very simple language that everyone could understand. This skill was probably gained during his years of teaching and having learned by necessity how to present difficult material in ways his students could under- stand. Listening to him, you were left with the impression that he knew you, that he understood what you were struggling with in your own life. He was not a self-proclaimed expert proclaiming the truth in absolute terms that had to be accepted or else. He was more like a guide, someone who had been there before you and under- stood the experiences you were going through. Sid died unexpectedly in Waxhaw, North Carolina, on March 22, 2005, at the new home he and Betty were building for their impending retirement in June. Funeral services were conducted on March 26 at Hurst-Scott Funeral Home in Richlands, Virginia, with entombment at Greenhills Memory Gardens. Sid was indeed blessed throughout his life and ministry, and those who knew him as pastor, nurturer, care- giver, or friend are indeed glad to know that Sid Boyd “could run, but he could not hide” from his calling as a minister of the Lord’s work.

JOHN FINLEY BROYLES, JR. October 10, 1926 – September 4, 2004

John Finley Broyles, Jr., made his entrance into this world on October 10, 1926, in the small community of South Turkey Creek in Buncombe County, North Carolina. He was the fourth child of John Finley and Bessie Roberson Broyles and was nicknamed “Jay.” In 1937, the Broyles family moved to Canton, where John, Sr., began work at Champion Paper and Fiber Company. The family began attending the Plains Methodist Church, and young Jay soon became active in the life of the church. Even in his early teen years, Jay would get up early on Sunday morning, go to the church, build a fire in the pot-bellied stove, dust off the pews, and do whatever else was needed. He would then return home, change into his Sunday clothes, and return to the church for Sun- day School and the preaching hour. This sense of responsibility to the church never diminished and, if anything, grew even stronger as time went by. As his 18th birthday approached in 1944, Jay considered his options for military service and decided to join the U.S. Navy. He was sent to the Philippine Islands and spent 16 months in the re- construction effort around the Subic Bay area. After the war ended, Jay returned to Canton and soon met Ernestine Rhymer, who would become his wife (on June 14, 1947) and the mother of their three sons: Alan Jay, born on March 16, 1948; Steven Joseph, born on July 30, 1950; and Robert Javan, born on March 11, 1956. During their 57-year marriage, Jay and Ernestine went through all the trials and tribulations that most families endure, yet Jay would always say that the Lord had been too good to him. In addition to their sons, they had nine grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and more friends than they could remember. In May of 1966, Jay got another assignment: He was licensed to preach the Gospel and appointed to the Fines Creek charge in the Waynesville District. He would later be ordained deacon in 1971. For 25 years, (1966-91), he followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, Mark Wilson Broyles, who was a circuit-riding Meth- odist minister in the late 1890s and whose territory extended from Asheville to Franklin. Grandfather Mark rode on horseback, while Jay preferred a Volkswagen “Bug.” Jay would leave home around 7:00 on Sunday morn- ings and not return until late afternoon. The entire trip, visiting all three churches, covered over 100 miles. On some Sundays, he would preach to more than 100 people; on other days, if the snow or ice was especially bad, there might be one or two show up. But Jay would always be there. By all accounts, these were the busiest and happiest years of Jay’s life. There was home; a 43-year career at Champion International; the pastoral duties of preaching, hospital visitation, and care of the flock; and the need to complete the studies required by the Board of Ordained Ministry. He saw entire generations come into the world at his three churches. Many he christened, some he married, and a few he had to bury. For reasons known only to him and God, Jay accepted no salary for his service from 1988 until he retired. Feeling that his call had been fulfilled, Jay retired from active ministry in 1991. Over the next 10 years, he would fill the pulpit when a brother minister was sick or away. In 2002, Jay was diagnosed with cancer from asbestos exposure, and he passed away on September 4, 2004, at his home in Canton, with his wife and sons by his side. In words that testify to his love and care for all persons, so beautifully lived out in his ministry, Jay wrote this ending for a prayer in 1975: Thunder upon us so loud that none will fail to hear: We are brothers, and our brothers’ keeper we must be. And yet, may we hear the still small voice that makes no sound, ‘For as much as you do for others, that only is what you do for me.’ Alan J. Broyles

342 WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE

NEWELL CAMPBELL BUSH November 17, 1920 – July 28, 2004

An incident that characterizes my father’s ministry occurred during his assignment to the Belwood charge in Cleveland Coun- ty, North Carolina. He was awakened early one morning by one of his members, who said that he was going to kill his family and himself if the preacher didn’t get over there right away and that he shouldn’t call the sheriff. My father went quickly over to the member’s home and was met at the door by the man pointing a gun at him. The man let him in but kept the gun pointed at him. My father talked with him and his wife for hours and prayed with them. After about six hours, the man gave up the gun and gave his life to God. For 39 years, my father answered calls for help 24 hours a day and helped people work through serious problems by persuading them to lay their burdens at the feet of God. Newell Bush was born on November 17, 1920, at Cramerton, in Gaston County, North Carolina, to Sidney Claudius and Bertha Lou Lay Bush. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II. He was educated at Brevard College and Wofford College (A.B., 1952) and also studied at Duke Divinity School. On October 4, 1942, he and Mary Saroch were married, and to them were born two children, Thomas Claudius and Martha Lou. Newell began his ministry as a student pastor at Horseshoe Methodist Church near Brevard (1948-50) while attending Bre- vard College on the GI bill. He then moved to Clinton, South Carolina, where he was given another student ap- pointment at two churches in the Lydia Mills section of that town while attending Wofford College (1950-52). After graduation from Wofford College in 1952, he moved back to North Carolina and was admitted on trial in the Western North Carolina Conference and appointed to the Richlands charge in Randolph County, 1952-53. He was admitted to full connection and ordained deacon in 1954 and ordained elder in 1956. Subsequent pas- torates included Watauga, 1953-56; Flat Rock (Greensboro District), 1956-60; Broad River (Marion District), 1960-64; Belwood, 1964-70; Kings Mountain: Grace, 1970-74; Smithtown, 1974-81; and May’s Chapel-St. Paul’s, 1981-86. He was granted retirement in 1986 and served from 1986 to 1988 as associate pastor at Winston-Salem: Oak Summit. He then moved to Conover, North Carolina, and lived there until 1992. In Sep- tember of that year, he moved to Jacksonville, Florida, and lived there until his death on July 28, 2004, at the age of 83. His memorial service was held on July 30 in the chapel at St. Catherine Laboure Manor Nursing Home in Jacksonville, Florida. His remains were cremated and interred in the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida, on November 26, 2004. Thomas C. Bush

JAMES EDWIN CARTER April 9, 1919 – December 1, 2004

When Edwin Carter was a student in the School of Religion at Duke University (now Duke Divinity School), he was such a gra- cious, generous, and gentle person that many students called him “Saint Francis.” Those qualities that so clearly marked him during his student days were clearly portrayed across the years as he served most effectively as a pastor in The United Methodist Church. Edwin was born on April 9, 1919, in Pelham, Caswell County, North Carolina. After graduating from the public schools in the community of his birth, he entered Appalachian State Teachers College (now Appalachian State University), where he earned his B.S. degree in 1940. He excelled not only as a student, but also in cross-country track. There he met an attractive young student by the name of Johnnie Wilmot Speas, whom he later married. In 1940, Edwin entered the School of Religion at Duke. During his third year at Duke he received a student appointment to the Milton charge, thereby delaying his graduation by one year, to 1944. On June 27, 1943, he and Johnnie Speas were married. On November 5, 1943, Edwin joined the North Carolina Annual Conference, where he served two appointments: Milton (1943-44) and Carolina Beach (1945-49). In October of 1949, he transferred to the Western North Carolina Annual Conference, where he served the following appointments: Charlotte: Chadwick, 1949-51; Winston-Salem: New Hope, 1951-55; An- drews, 1955-59; Charlotte: Hawthorne Lane Associate, 1959-63; Hickory: First Associate, 1963-70; Montmor- 2005 JOURNAL 343

enci, 1970-74; Mount Pleasant-Harmony Grove, 1974-79; Winston-Salem: Ardmore Associate, 1979-83; and Friendship-Brown Summit, 1983-85. After he retired in 1986, he and Johnnie moved to Lake Junaluska, North Carolina. There he served at Clyde: Louisa Chapel, first as associate (1986-87) and then as pastor (1987-90), as well as at Crabtree-Davis Chapel as associate (1991-95). Edwin and Johnnie were married for more than 61 years. They had two adopted children: Rachel Ann, who is now married to John Huggins, lives in Winston-Salem, and has three children; and James Edwin, Jr. (Jimmy), who is now deceased and had one daughter. Death came to Edwin on December 1, 2004, at Givens Estates in Asheville. A beautiful Service of Celebra- tion and Resurrection was held for him on December 3 in the Wesley Room at Givens Estates, with an overflow congregation in attendance. Leaders of the worship service were J. Clay Madison; Joseph M. Fulk, Jr.; and Ashley Crowder Stanley, who gave the meditation. Ed and I entered seminary at Duke together and became good friends. Since Johnnie would come to Duke to visit Ed, Florrie, whom I dated and later married, and I began a lasting friendship with them. Early in our min- istry we served adjoining pastorates. We shared our pulpits for revivals and enjoyed other occasions together. Ed had a beautiful voice, and when he visited in any of my churches, I always asked him to sing “The Stranger of Galilee.” When they adopted Rachel Ann, it was my honor to baptize her. The close friendship continued across the years. In retirement, we both moved to Lake Junaluska, where we were neighbors. Ed was a true friend, a faithful pastor, and a devoted family member. He was a gracious and kind gentle- man. He was loved and greatly appreciated by all who knew him. We are saddened by his death but celebrate his victory over death. Charles H. Mercer

WALLACE DAVIS CHAPPELL March 1, 1929 – September 14, 2004

Wallace Davis Chappell was born on March 1, 1929, in Ashe- ville, North Carolina, to Ashley and Sallie Carnell Chappell. Ashley and his brother, Clovis, both served churches in the Western North Carolina Conference. Wallace attended Emory & Henry Col- lege in Virginia and graduated from Birmingham Southern College (A.B., 1952) and from Candler School of Theology, Emory Univer- sity (B.D., 1955). He was licensed to preach in 1948, admitted on trial in the Holston Conference and ordained deacon in 1955, and admitted to full connection and ordained elder in 1958. While preaching revival services at Virginia Avenue Methodist Church in Bluefield, Virginia, Wallace met Mary Frances White- nack. They married on June 12, 1956, and had three children: Cathy (Walker), born on November 3, 1957; Davis, born on May 24, 1960; and Richard, born on August 8, 1969. They also had four grandchildren: Ashley Sloniecki, Dusty Walker, and Andrew and Hailey Chappell. Wallace began his pastoral ministry on the Nolichucky Circuit, in east Tennessee, in June 1956. He moved to Nashville, Tennes- see, in 1959 and served Buchanan Street, 1959-62; Woodbine, 1962-66; Blakemore, 1966-69; and McKendree, 1969-81. Following 12 years at McKendree, he transferred to the Western North Carolina Conference and became the senior pastor of First Church, Charlotte (1981-83). Maintaining his relationship with that conference, he was director of evangelism ministries at the General Board of Discipleship from 1983 to 1984 and was named a conference evangelist in 1984. He founded Wallace Chappell Ministries, Inc., an evangelistic outreach, in 1984. He retired from the conference in 1994 after a ma- jor stroke in 1993; however, he courageously came back to preach again, and closed WCMinistries in 2000. He departed this life on September 14, 2004. Wallace had a passion for the Gospel that was apparent in his preaching. He also had a deep love for peo- ple, particularly the least, last, and lost. He was ever the same; whether he was preaching before 20 or 2,000, his message was delivered with fervor and joy! Bishop Richard C. Looney reminded the crowd attending the memorial service at McKendree Church on September 25, 2004, how Wallace loved people. He said, “I sus- pect most of you here have thought you were Wallace’s best friend… He exhausted himself loving people. It’s a rare combination: proclaimer and pastor, all at the same time.” He was Apollos and Barnabas, a powerful preacher and a son of encouragement. In a letter dated August 28, 1985, Bishop L. Bevel Jones III wrote, after hearing Wallace preach at Lake Junaluska: Dear Wallace, You are something else! I think back to the movie ‘Patton,’ when he was referred to by the German intelligence as ‘the pure warrior.’ You are a pure evangelist, and as I said to you at the Lake, you preach the message with integrity. How important that is in a day of all sorts of evangelism! I draw strength from your friendship and admire your leadership. He preached nation-wide, as well as in Europe and Asia, and wherever he traveled, pastors and churches were encouraged and emboldened to serve Christ more faithfully. Wallace was the recipient of an honorary doctorate from Trevecca College of Nashville, and, among other honors, received the Philip Award for Distinguished Service in Evangelism from NAUME in 1997. He was the author of nine books: Receiving God’s Fullness; His Continued Witness; When Morning Comes; Who Jesus 344 WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE

Says You Are; Eight Days That Rocked the World; Clovis Chappell: Preacher of the Word; All for Jesus; When Jesus Rose; and The Trumpet’s Certain Sound, published by Abingdon, Broadman, Word, and WCM, Inc. In his book When Morning Comes, Wallace wrote, When we think of the church’s greatest day of blessedness, we usually think of Pentecost. But so often we miss the purpose of this joy. It was not so much a blessing to receive, as it was a blessing to release. ‘Ours is not to grasp the Spirit,’ Ray Jordan used to tell his students, ‘but to channel the Spirit.’ That is our task. I really am not sure that we have any other. One who knew the joy of the Christ-life said, ‘The length of time God permits us to stay here is not related to a certain amount of work he wants us to do so much as a certain closeness of relationship to himself he wants us to at- tain.’ And the closer we draw to him, the more compassion we shall know. Surrender first and ser- vice next… Our Lord will dwell in you but he will also speak through you. Even now he yearns to have your heart as his home, your life revealing his work. At your heart’s entrance he knocks. Through this open gate he will beckon others. Will you let him in? These words were not only written by his hand; they were also lived out in his life. In his later days, Wallace faced his illness with the same faithful and gracious spirit that he possessed during his active ministry. He leaves for his family and his beloved church deep footprints that will continue to guide and bless all who follow. Davis Chappell

JOHN HOLMES CHRISTY, JR. January 10, 1929 – January 13, 2005

John Holmes Christy, Jr., was born in Andrews, North Carolina, on January 10, 1929, the first-born son of John Holmes Christy, Sr., and Mary Willie Fisher Christy. He entered the Church Trium- phant at the age of 76 on January 13, 2005, at Memorial Mission Hospital in Asheville, after a cerebral hemorrhage. A committal service was held on January 16 at Valleytown Cemetery in An- drews, followed by a Celebration of Life Service at Andrews United Methodist Church. A memorial celebration was held at First United Methodist Church in Waynesville on January 17. John received his bachelor’s degree in English and religion from Duke University in 1951 and graduated with a bachelor of di- vinity degree from Duke Divinity School in 1954. He was awarded the degree of doctor of divinity by Pfeiffer University in 1982. John was admitted to the Western North Carolina Annual Conference on trial in 1952, ordained a deacon in 1953, and admitted to full connection and ordained elder in 1954. His appointment record is as follows: Spring Hill, 1953-57; Avery-Elk Park-Linville Falls, 1957-61; Jefferson, 1961-68; Asheville: Abernethy, 1968-72; North Wilkesboro: First, 1972-76; Charlotte: Cokesbury, 1976-79; Albemarle District Superintendent, 1979-85; Thomasville: Memorial, 1985-89; and Hickory: First, 1989-97. Fol- lowing his retirement in 1997, he served Cherokee County: Murphy Circuit I from 1997 to 2000 and as associ- ate at Waynesville: First from 2000 to 2005. John married his bride of 49 years, Joan Crowder Christy, on January 7, 1956. He and Joan reared four children: Karen Lynn (Kurtz), born on July 13, 1957; Mark Holmes, born on August 13, 1958; John Paul, born on March 23, 1961; and David Harold, born on May 8, 1966. Each child became a minister in the Western North Carolina Conference. John was blessed to be shaped and formed by loving parents and a caring church community at Andrews Methodist Church, where he professed faith in 1937. God’s call upon his life was evident from an early age. His understanding of Christian service, justice, humility, and grace, formed during his early years, greatly influ- enced his understanding of ordained ministry. He had a tremendous love for the church, believing in the hope and optimism of the Gospel. John spoke a prophetic voice with his words and his life. He touched people from all walks of life and earned the respect of colleagues and parishioners alike. John extended God’s grace in a way that crossed economic, social, racial, intellectual, and geographical barriers. To him, God’s love extended to the world and, therefore, excluded no human being. Even in the midst of his final illness, he affected the doc- tors, nurses, caregivers, family, friends, and others by being the servant God had always called him to be; a man of Christian dignity and grace. John knew that personal accolades and accomplishments, of which he had many, were not nearly as impor- tant as living a God-directed life. He approached each day with an optimistic mindset, for another day meant another opportunity to serve God. Those of us who were blessed by his generosity understood that as John “gave” his time, money, efforts, prayers, and presence, he was simply extending a glimpse of God’s love and care. From a family perspective, we children experienced the same honesty, integrity, love, and compassion that John showed those outside the immediate family. The John Christy that others saw and loved was the same inside the home as outside. He always offered his support and love for our mom (Joan), and for us, as we an- swered God’s call upon our lives in different ways. John modeled for his family genuine Christian character, and we know we were honored and blessed to call him “Dad.” Our lives have been enriched and enhanced by the ministry of John Christy. We thank God for using his life to touch many for the sake of the Gospel. May we be challenged to discover again the joy in living a life of 2005 JOURNAL 345

Christian service as we remember this remarkable child of God. We thank John for sharing his life with us, but, more importantly, we thank God for sharing John Christy with us. To God be the glory! Karen Christy Kurtz Mark H. Christy J. Paul Christy David H. Christy ABRAM JONES COX III March 31, 1945 – October 17, 2004

Abram Jones Cox III was born on March 31, 1945, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to The Reverend A. J. Cox, Jr., and Hazelene Culp Cox. He died on October 17, 2004, at his home in Concord, North Carolina. He was 59 years old. A me- morial service was held at First United Methodist Church in Salisbury, North Carolina, on October 19. Interment preceded the service at Fairview Memorial Park in Albemarle, North Caro- lina. During the memorial service, C. M. Worthy, Jr., one of the writers of this memoir, said, “Good friends are hard to find.” He shared the history of his relationship with Abe. They met at the age of 10 in Asheville, North Carolina, where Abe’s father was the pastor of Trinity Methodist Church in west Asheville. They met at the church. As boys, they cherished time together. They rode bikes together, played together, and got to know one an- other well. C.M. remembers those days with Abe as some of the best days of his life. As adults they fished together, went to the Olympics in Canada together, stood beside one another at their weddings, and supported each other at the deaths of their fa- thers. They attended football and basketball games together and enjoyed spending time together at the beach, just being friends. Good friends are hard to find. Abe graduated from Hendersonville High School in 1963. In 1967, he was awarded the bachelor of arts de- gree in English by Duke University. While at Duke, he ran with the track and cross country teams. He was a brother in the Kappa Sigma Phi fraternity. He enjoyed four years of excellent education. Following graduation from Duke, Abe enrolled as a student at Duke Divinity School. He graduated in 1970 with a master of divinity degree. Abe cherished his days at Duke. He loved Cameron Indoor Stadium and en- joyed attending basketball games. He often said, “Some of the greatest moments of my life have been spent in Cameron!” All Duke graduates know what he meant. Abe continued his education as he earned a doctor of ministry degree from Candler School of Theology, Emory University, in 1987. Abe met Margaret Ann Moore during his final year of seminary. They were married on May 29, 1971, in Duke Chapel. They were devoted to each other and supported each other. To them was born a bright and beautiful daughter, Margaret Erin, on September 19, 1980. Abe was intensely proud of Erin. She frequently joined her mother and grandmother during the months of Abe’s illness to love and care for him, as he had cared for his mother after the untimely death of his father, also at age 59. He was his mother’s advisor and helper and the joy of her life. The Spirit of the Lord was upon Abe from the beginning of his service to Christ as an ordained minister in the Western North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church. Abe was licensed to preach in October 1968. He was admitted on trial and ordained a deacon in 1970. He was received into full connection and or- dained an elder in 1972. Abe began his ministry as the associate pastor of Boone Church in the North Wilkesboro District. He served that congregation from 1970 until 1972, when he was appointed to Colliers-Baton charge in the Statesville Dis- trict. After five years of service there, he moved to Mills River Church in the Asheville District, where he served from 1977 until 1983. The congregation of Jackson Park Church in Kannapolis received Abe as its pastor in 1983. In 1987, Abe was appointed to Trinity Church in Charlotte. He returned to the Statesville District in 1993 to serve the Christ Boulevard congregation. His final appointment was to Harrisburg Church in the Salisbury District in 2001. He served that congregation for three years, until it became necessary in 2004 for him to be granted an incapacity leave. Abe served his congregations with pride. He was loved and admired by them. Abe’s service to Christ always extended beyond the local church into the communities and cities in which he, Margaret, and Erin lived. He touched not only church members, but also children and others not associated with the church. He preached good news to the oppressed. He invited church members, clergy, and others to join him to bind the broken- hearted, to comfort those who mourned, and to proclaim liberty to those imprisoned behind bars of steel and barriers created by drugs, sickness, pain, suffering, and divorce. He established and led drug workshops across the 44 counties of our conference and became our resident expert in drug issues. He had a passion for ministry. He helped the poor who lived in the country as well as those in the inner city. He worked with children who had few opportunities in life. He cherished moments with kids who were lonely, afraid, hungry, lost. To these, Abe offered the strong, hearty, loving embrace of the risen Lord. Like John Wesley, his forefather in the faith, Abe saw the world as his parish. Wherever he saw people in need in the communities to which he was appointed, on the Black Feet Indian Reservation in Montana, in Haiti, he offered the good news of God’s grace in Jesus the Christ. He had an amazing gift with people. He got on their level to share the grace of Christ and reminded each of them that God loved them. Whether they were members of his congregations or recipients of his extended ministry, they knew they could count on Abe to walk through dark valleys with them. Like the prophets of old, Abe offered them garlands instead of ashes, gladness instead of 346 WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE

mourning, a mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit. He planted the Word of the Lord into the hearts of his peo- ple. His people listened! Abe’s love extended to many across this conference and beyond its boundaries. His ministry did not end the day of his death. There was one more appointment to accept; like any good United Methodist pastor, Abe ac- cepted that call to God’s eternal service in that parish not made with hands. In words from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s Psalm of Life, Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time. Abe left behind deep footprints of God’s love and compassion. We will follow in them for many, many years to come. C. M. Worthy, Jr. Thomas L. Griffis

WILLIAM CAMBY CRUMMETT September 1, 1920 – January 13, 2005

William Camby Crummett was the son of the late Aaron Camby Crummett and Mary Virginia Armstrong. He was born on September 1, 1920, in Highland County in the Shenandoah Valley, at Headwa- ters, Virginia. He departed this life during his sleep at home in Winston- Salem, North Carolina, on January 13, 2005. A Service of Death and Resurrection was held at Ardmore United Methodist Church in Winston Salem on January 15,, 2005. Franklin W. Grice, Pamela E. Blackstock, and Donald K. Funderburk officiated. Inter- ment followed on January 16 at Iredell Memorial Park in Statesville. William is survived by his wife, June, and his sons, William, Jr., and Robert Stephen, and their wives and four grandchildren. Everyone knew William as Bill. Bill was fond of telling about his childhood, of attending a one-room schoolhouse in the valley, of him and his brothers playing in the Cowpasture River that flowed across their property in front of the old home place. He would tell of boyhood mischief, taking leave from school at recess and romping through the woods, sometimes across the river and up the opposite mountain- side, playing “Fox and Hounds.” He told of how his father was a hardworking man, a farmer and a county constable. He would tell of how being in a farm family meant each of them helped each other, whether feeding the chickens, drawing water from the well, working in the fields, or stringing green beans with their mother, which was one of his tasks. Bill accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior while attending the Headwaters Presbyterian Church. When he was 13 years old, Bill contracted polio. For three years, he was confined to the use of a wheel- chair, in a full body cast. It was during this time of confinement that he watched his mother and learned about food preparation and cooking. The doctors prepared Bill and his parents for the inevitable fact that he would never survive to adulthood. It was sometime during this period that Bill made a promise to God that if God al- lowed him to live, he would enter the ministry. Bill went on to complete the eighth grade at Headwaters School and then went to McDowell High School, where he graduated with 11 other students. In spite of his having been told that he could not attend college be- cause of lack of funds, Bill attended Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk and received his A.A. degree in 1945. From there, he went to Appalachian State Teachers College (now University), obtaining his B.S. degree in 1948. He had worked his way through both colleges. During his days at Appalachian, Bill met two Methodist ministers, C. Curtis Murray and Worth A. Sweet, both of whom were serving Methodist charges while attending college. Through their encouragement, Bill was con- vinced that he could join The Methodist Church on profession of faith and thereby get on with preaching the Gospel. Eager to serve his calling, Bill left the Presbyterian Church for Methodism in just that manner. The next week, he was serving six churches on the West Jefferson charge, among them Nathan’s Creek. Bill attended Candler School of Theology at Emory University. He was admitted on trial to the Western North Carolina Conference of The Methodist Church in 1949, ordained a deacon in 1951, admitted to full membership in 1952, and ordained elder in 1953. As a faithful pastor, he served the following appointments: Union Grove- Zion, 1949-51; Crouse, 1951-55; Shelby: Hoyle Memorial, 1955-58; Kannapolis: Memorial, 1958-61; New Mt. Vernon-Shady Grove, 1961-63; New Mt. Vernon, 1963-67; Bunker Hill-Sandy Ridge, 1967-72; Antioch- Germanton, 1972-76; Antioch-Oak Grove, 1976-80; Winston-Salem: Union Ridge, 1980-85; and Burnett’s Chapel, 1985-87. His “first” retirement date was in 1987. After that time, he returned to do supply work as as- sociate on the Forsyth-Stokes charge in the Winston-Salem District, 1987-98. He preached his final sermon on August 24, 2003, at Antioch United Methodist Church in Crouse, on the occasion of their homecoming. Bill was introduced to June M. Brincefield by fellow pastor Jack H. Cooke in 1949, while serving on the Un- ion Grove-Zion charge in the Statesville District. They married on November 4, 1950. William, Jr., was born on October 15, 1954, while Bill was serving the Crouse charge in the Gastonia District. Son Robert Stephen was born on June 7, 1956, during Bill’s tenure at Hoyle Memorial in Shelby. 2005 JOURNAL 347

Bill loved his boys. He would probably tell you that one of his best accomplishments in life was raising two fine boys. He played with them and took them everywhere—-to the Blue Ridge Parkway for Sunday picnics, to Tanglewood Park to go fishing, trick-or-treating at Halloween, to Windy Hill Beach, Boy Scouts and Vacation Bible School. He read to them from storybooks, watched cartoons with them (a favorite was Roadrunner and Wiley Coyote), took them to the movies, and, at bedtime, prayed with them. Bill was a stamp and coin collector and a photographer. He also was an automobile enthusiast, enjoying classic cars. He had a preference for Chrysler products, and he enjoyed attending antique automobile shows with son Robert for many years. Bill will be remembered for his gardening, especially roses. He enjoyed cooking and was quite accomplished in the kitchen—his world-traveled Christmas “Crummett” fudge, his macaroni and cheese, and his lasagna—as well as being a gracious host. Bill was a faithful husband and a helpmate to June all of their 54 years. He faithfully prepared most of the meals and helped maintain the household while June worked outside the home once the children were of school age. Bill’s history with The United Methodist Church could be characterized as a building ministry. When church plants needed to expand or when parsonages needed to be built, it seemed the district superintendents were always calling on Bill. Through his leadership and encouragement, several churches “went station.” Congrega- tions were strengthened, and multiple-church pastorates became single ones under his guiding hand. Bill was known and revered by all for his visitation ministry. He ministered to the shut-ins, and as he itiner- ated among the districts, he also visited in all of the hospitals, ministering to the sick of the congregations and their loved ones. In the pulpit, Bill was a storyteller. His sermons, like parables, would weave in and out of the scriptures, with living illustrations drawn from literature, current events, poetry, music, and life experience. Through stories and examples, Bill shared the richness and wonder of God’s love for His creation. When Bill would stand in the pul- pit and the Spirit of the Lord would come over him, he was emboldened and enlivened, preaching with power and conviction. He also enjoyed congregational singing. Not surprisingly, perhaps, a favorite was, “The Church in the Wildwood.” Bill sustained a ministry of 53 years in 27 Methodist churches in dedication and commitment to serving the Gospel message. He touched the lives of many, many people with his kind and gentle spirit, a reflection of the love and new life which had been given him through faith so long ago in that little weather-boarded Presbyte- rian church in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. No longer to suffer pain and sickness, he has gone to his new home on high. Surely his Lord and Savior has already told him in person, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” William Camby Crummett, Jr.

WILLIAM B.A. CULP August 28, 1917 – February 22, 2005

William B.A. Culp was born on August 28, 1917, and died peacefully and without pain in his sleep on February 22, 2005. He was the sixth of 11 children born to Osco and Florence Hammill Culp in Rowan County, North Carolina. He was named after his beloved uncle Bert, who was also a Methodist minister in North Carolina. After completing his public schooling, he enrolled and gradu- ated from Mitchell College, now Pfeiffer University. He earned his undergraduate degree from American University in 1939 and his B.D. degree from Duke Divinity School in 1942. His beloved wife, Flonnie Louise Lipe, whom he married on Oc- tober 9, 1942, preceded him in death on January 2, 1992. Three children were born to this happy union. The children and their spouses are William B.A., Jr. (born on August 29, 1943) and Deena; Ellen C. Turk (born on July 15, 1948) and Arthur; and John David (born on December 25, 1952) and Donna. He is also survived by two brothers, James and wife Janis of Charlotte and O.S. Jr., and wife Mildred of Johnson City, Tennessee; six grand- children, Carrie Culp Abramson and Leigh, William B.A. III and Al- lison, John David, Jr., Travis, Mark, and Michelle Culp; and two great-grandchildren, Joshua and Abigail Abramson. In 1939, soon after I became B.A.’s pastor, he told me about his remarkable family and how his father’s life was tragically ended at 40 years of age. Osco was on his way to the mountains to get apples for the Christmas celebration at the church and was killed instantly in an automo- bile accident. B.A. described how his mother, Florence, gathered all the children in the parlor of their home. They prayed and made a covenant to stand together, work hard, and manage the family farm. Under the guid- ance of their devout mother, this is what they did with a dedicated determination. It is no surprise that out of this Christian home came 11 children with strong characters, empowered to cope with life in the outside world and become successes in their chosen professions. B.A. served for 40 years as a pastor in the Western North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church. He was licensed to preach in 1938, admitted on trial in 1942, ordained deacon in 1943, and admitted to full connection and ordained elder in 1944. He was assigned to 14 pastoral charges: Draper: Wayside, 1941- 348 WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE

42; Norwood Circuit, for six months in 1942; Kannapolis: Bethpage-Shiloh, 1942-46; Salem (Winston-Salem District), 1946-48; Glen Alpine, 1948-52; Cramerton: Cramer Memorial, 1952-55; Charlotte: St. James, 1955- 59; Asheville: Abernethy, 1959-61; Sylva, 1961-65; Charlotte: Belmont Park, 1965-69; Pleasant Garden, 1969- 71; Charlotte: Pleasant Grove, 1971-75; Dallas: First, 1975-79; and Winston-Salem: Wesley Memorial-Hanes, 1979-81. He was granted retirement in 1981. During his ministry, he went on numerous building-team missions to Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, the Dominican Republic, and Kenya and was involved in many other ventures on behalf of the church. He and I became friends when his home church, Bethlehem, replaced Wesley Chapel on the Gold Hill charge in 1939. Our friendship spanned almost a lifetime. He was a person of strong character, with deeply held convictions, and he was not shy or timid in voicing his beliefs. He was a tireless worker, and he was intel- ligent, thoughtful, courageous, loyal, and compassionate, with a deep love for Christ, the church, and people. He was an avid sportsman, loved to play golf, and was a fierce competitor. He enjoyed talking about his basketball exploits at Mitchell College and American University and was an enthusiastic Duke basketball fan. Through the years, he maintained a close relationship with his home church, Bethlehem, and wanted his fu- neral held there and his body to be laid to rest in the nearby cemetery. This community was where life began for him, where he spent his childhood and youth, and where he received his roots. The family received friends on the evening of February 25, 2004, in the “living room” at the main entrance of Aldersgate Retirement Community (The Methodist Home), and a large number of friends came from the home and greater Charlotte area. At 12:00 p.m. on February 26, a service celebrating his life was held at Bethlehem, with this writer officiating and members of the family sharing in the service. I can imagine, as B.A. stood outside the gates of heaven, God’s saying to him, “Come in, good and faithful servant; enter them into the joy of your Lord.” And I can imagine B.A.’s disappearing into the pearly gates.

CARL WILLIAM DENNIS March 26, 1904 – June 16, 2004

Carl Dennis was associated with First United Methodist Church in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, after his retirement in 1969. I came to know, love, and appreciate him as his pastor from 1978 to 1985 and, later, as a friend after my retirement in 1991, a friendship that lasted 26 years (including my time as his pastor). Carl was born on March 26, 1904, in Athens, Tennessee. He was the son of the late A. Baxter and Nan Corina Dennis. He be- came a member of the Methodist Church under the leadership of his father, who was a pastor. He attended High Point College and the University of North Carolina. He was admitted on trial in the Blue-Ridge Atlantic Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1928, ordained a deacon in the Western North Carolina Conference of The Methodist Church in 1942, and admitted to full connection and ordained elder in 1944. Carl was appointed to serve at Kannapolis, 1928-29, and as a student, 1929-32, prior to a period of ten years when he was not a conference member. He returned to ministry in 1942 and was ap- pointed to serve at Mill Spring, 1942-45; Lilesville, 1945-49; Davidson (Thomasville District), 1949-51; Concord-Mary’s Grove, 1951-52; South Fork, 1952-56; Hickory: Highland, 1956-58; Mon- roe: North-Benton Heights, 1958-59; Weddington, 1959-61; Bel- wood, 1961-64; Nebo-Pleasant Hill, 1964-66; and Bethel- Palestine, 1966-69. He was granted retirement at the 1969 con- ference session. Carl married Ruth Henderson on May 22, 1933, and they had one daughter, Martha Jane, who was born on March 27, 1937. Carl and Ruth were married for 71 years, and Carl celebrated his 100th birthday on March 26, 2004. The last two years of Carl’s life were spent in the Methodist Manor of the Pee Dee in Florence, South Caro- lina. This is a full-service facility, and the last few months of his life were spent in the nursing facility. He was able to have his meals in the dining room by using a wheelchair. As was his custom, he arose early on June 16, 2004, dressed himself, and sat in a chair next to the bed where his wife slept. When she awoke, she found that he had simply gone back to sleep and woken up in the presence of his creator, God the Father, and his Savior, Jesus Christ. Carl’s funeral was held on June 18 at the McMillan-Small Funeral Home in Myrtle Beach, with interment at Southeastern Memorial Gardens in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I count it a blessing to have known Carl Dennis, to have been his pastor, and to have called him friend. I am certain of one thing: About 7:30 A.M. on June 16, 2004, he heard some very familiar words: “Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy of your Lord.” Thomas N. Brittain

HENRY CLARK DUNCAN February 4, 1922 – May 14, 2004

Henry Clark Duncan—chaplain, pastor, preacher, and civic leader—died in St. Joseph of the Pines at Pinehurst, North Caro- lina, on May 14, 2004. Born in Oregon County, Missouri, on Feb- ruary 4, 1922, he was educated at Drury College (A.B., 1946) and Duke University Divinity School (B.D., 1949). He was admitted to the Western North Carolina Conference on trial and ordained deacon in 1947. In 1949, he was admitted to full connection and ordained elder. Chaplain Duncan was a first lieutenant in the Marine Corps during World War II, where he saw combat action. He served as pastor of St. John’s Methodist Church in Charlotte, North Caro- lina, 1949-1951, and then became a navy chaplain, serving with the Marines in the Korean War. He was also a veteran of the Viet- nam War and was awarded the Bronze Star for combat duty, again with the U.S. Marines. His 22 years in the chaplaincy in- cluded distinguished service as the senior chaplain of the U.S. Naval Academy. He retired as a captain in 1973 and moved im- mediately to become the senior pastor/chaplain at the ecumenical Village Chapel congregation in Pinehurst, North Carolina. He re- tired from the annual conference in 1977 and from the Village Chapel in 1987 after overseeing major membership growth and missional focus there and continued extraordinary service in the community as a co-founder of the Sandhills Hospice, founder of the Sandhills Men’s Fellowship, and leader with the English Speaking Union and numerous other human- services organizations in Moore County. He was also a longtime member of the Divinity School Board of Visi- tors at Duke University, where the Henry C. Duncan Scholarship Endowment, funded in his honor by contribu- tions from the Men of the Village Chapel and other friends, provides important resources for ministerial educa- tion. In retirement, he preached in many local parishes and later organized and led weekly worship services for the Belle Meade retirement community for several years prior to his disability and death. He was a tireless or- ganizer, a thoughtful administrator, and a gifted preacher, whose disciplined preparation and effective commu- nication of the Gospel were legendary. Henry Duncan married Esta Lee Keele on June 30, 1946, and they were the parents of Ann Rosella (Cohrs), born on March 21, 1949, and now of Springfield, Virginia, and H. Clark, Jr., born on February 19, 1952, and now of Arcadia, Missouri. His wife and children survive him, along with five grandchildren and a great- grandson. The funeral services and burial were conducted with full military honors at the Village Chapel in Pinehurst and the Pinelawn Memorial Park mausoleum in Southern Pines on May 19, 2004. The dignity and precision of the service, including the singing of the Navy hymn, “Eternal Father, Strong to Save,” and inspiring testimonials by his children and colleagues, bespoke his faithful witness and encouraged prayers of thanksgiving to God for the good life of His servant, Henry Clark Duncan.

JOHN REYNOLDS HAMILTON January 3, 1915 – September 24, 2004

John Reynolds Hamilton was born January 3, 1915, in Nor- wood, in Stanly County, North Carolina, to the late Reverend A.M. and Dora Surratt Hamilton. He was the son, grandson, and brother of Methodist preachers. After graduating from Lexington High School in Lexington, North Carolina, he attended Catawba College and graduated with an A.B. degree in 1936. He then received his master of divinity degree from Duke University in 1939. On August 21, 1938, he married Mary Naomi Barber, of Sal- isbury, North Carolina, and together they began a ministry to the Western North Carolina Conference that would last through 41 years of service. He was admitted to the Western North Carolina Conference of The Methodist Church on trial in 1939 and was admitted to full connection and ordained deacon in 1941 and or- dained elder in 1943. His first pastorate was in Stanfield, and in 1943, he was appointed to organize and become the first minister 350 WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE

at Kilgo Church in Charlotte. After Kilgo, he served the following appointments: Charlotte: Chadwick, 1947-49; Winston-Salem: Marvin, 1949-51; Matthews, 1951-55; Asheville: Haywood Street, 1955-60; Charlotte: Calvary, 1960-64; Canton: Central, 1964-67; North Wilkesboro District Superintendent, 1967-73; Lenoir: First, 1973-77; and Kingswood, 1977-78. He was very proud to have served eight years as chair of the conference Board of Evangelism during his ministry. After a short disability leave due to health reasons, John began his official retirement in 1980. He continued, however, to answer the call to preach wherever there was a need until 1995, when Alzheimer’s claimed him as one of its victims. John was a 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason and Shriner and a member of the Lexington Memorial Lodge No. 473 and the Lexington Shrine Club of Lexington, North Carolina, where he and Naomi retired to spend their remaining years. He served one year as chaplain of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina. His union to Naomi Barber produced three children: John Reynolds Hamilton, Jr., born on July 16, 1940, and now of Lynn, North Carolina; Anne Hamilton Terry (Mrs. James J. Terry, Jr.), born on July 29, 1944, and now of Overland Park, Kansas; and Susan Hamilton McCarl (Mrs. J. M. McCarl, Jr.), born on February 2, 1956, and now of Burke, Virginia. The family was further increased to eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. John was a minister to the people in each of his pastorates. He loved and cared for each parishioner, and that love and respect was returned fully. He was also respected among his peers. John was a great preacher. His sermons were always dutifully prepared and delivered with ease, because they came from the heart. He was always very proud of the fact that he actually preached his first sermon at the ripe old age of 15! It was in his blood and was indeed a calling from God. He loved hymns and enjoyed singing heartily and even playing by ear, another wonderful gift. John loved life and had a great sense of humor. Even as Alzheimer’s took its toll of his mind, he retained his great love of hymns, as well as the alma maters from Catawba College and Duke Uni- versity. He was a very proud alumnus of both schools and never forgot that fact. Despite the loving care of his beloved Naomi, John’s long struggle with Alzheimer’s and congestive heart failure finally claimed his earthly life on September 24, 2004. He died peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family. His funeral service was held at First United Methodist Church, Lexington, on Sunday, September 26. Officiating were pastors John K. Ferree and David F. Cunha and parish nurse Amy Clodfelter. The family selected the hour of 3:15 P.M. for the service because, as the son of a Methodist minister, John had joked that his birth on a Sunday at 3:15 P.M. did not even bother his father’s preaching that day! It was appropriate that his service should come at that time. Burial was held in the Lexington City Cemetery. Already, he was with the heavenly Father and welcomed as one of his faithful servants. “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord!” Anne Hamilton Terry John R. Hamilton, Jr. Susan Hamilton McCarl

CHARLIE HOUSTON, JR. April 10, 1925 – July 27, 2004

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!” (Matthew 25:21 (NIV) This was a fitting tribute to Charlie Houston, Jr., who entered the Church Triumphant on July 27, 2004. In a token of appreciation and love for his life and ministry to The United Methodist Church, a huge crowd of witnesses gathered in the sanctuary of Faith United Methodist Church in Mooresville on August 1 for his homegoing celebration. There were numerous clergy from across the confer- ence in attendance, along with many leaders of civic and commu- nity organizations. Many of these persons spoke of his humility, dedication, and devotion to duty. Charlie Houston, Jr., was the son of the late Charlie and Eliza- beth Lynch Houston. He was born on April 10, 1925, in Mecklen- burg County, North Carolina, and was joined in marriage to Dora Zenobia Cornelius on May 25, 1947. From this union came two children: Mildred (Ware), on September 29, 1947, and Larry Wayne, on December 23, 1950. Charlie joined the United States Navy in 1944, receiving medals in the American area: Victory- WWII; Philippine Liberation: Asiatic Pacific Area and Star. He re- tired from the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Salisbury, North Carolina, after 30 years of nursing service for the govern- ment. Charlie attended the public schools of Mecklenburg County and Mitchell Community College in Statesville, and he completed the Course of Study at Duke Divinity School. He joined Morrows Chapel Methodist Church at a very early age. He always enjoyed singing, praising God, and helping others. At the time of his death, he was a member of Faith United Methodist Church. He was a certified lay speaker before being licensed to preach in 1985. As a local pastor, Charlie served at Brooks Chapel in the Gastonia District from 1985 to 1993. He was then appointed to Statesville: Scott's Chapel-Philadelphia in 1993 and served there until 1997, the last two years as a retired supply, having been granted retirement at the 1995 annual conference. He was a devout 2005 JOURNAL 351

member of the United Methodist Men, the Black Ministers’ Caucus, and the Western North Carolina Confer- ence. He was also very active in Black Methodists for Church Renewal (BMCR). After Charlie had fought a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease, the Lord said, “Well done, my good and faithful servant,” and took him to his heavenly home on July 27, 2004. At the time of his death, he was re- siding at the Brian Center Retirement and Health Center in Mooresville. Following his funeral service on August 1, his body was interred at the National Cemetery in Salisbury, North Carolina, on August 2. Lillie M. Jones MICHAEL ALVIN LATHAM November 10, 1933 – July 31, 2004

He was born the son of a circuit-riding preacher in the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains. One of fourteen children, Mi- chael Alvin Latham was born in Sevier County, Tennessee, on November 10, 1933, to Michael and Mary Jane Hembree Latham. He spent most of his childhood in Sevier County, where his home church was Pleasant Hill Methodist Church. With that many brothers and sisters, someone had to plant, “some corn” and hoe “some tobacco” in order to put food on the table. Everyone had to do their fair share. Mutual friends introduced Alvin, as most called him, to his wife- to-be, Ruth Elaine Craven. After a short courtship, Alvin asked Ruth to marry him. With a quick trip to North Carolina in the mid- dle of the night to get Ruth’s dad’s approval, the answer was yes. They were married on May 2, 1957, at Spring Hill Methodist Church, High Point. Alvin felt called to preach the “good news” of the Gospel. He loved Jesus Christ and wanted others to love Him, too. He was li- censed to preach in 1958 and was appointed to the Bailey- Elbaville-Fulton charge, at Advance, in 1959. Alvin and Ruth went on to have three children. The oldest, Letha Clarice (Burrow), was born on March 7, 1959. From 1960 through 1962, Alvin served at Elbaton in the Thomasville District and graduated from High Point College with a B.A. degree. To further his education Alvin, along with his wife and daughter, moved to Maryland. There he attended Wesleyan Seminary and was appointed to the Oldtown charge. Jonathan Michael, their middle child, was born on June 16, 1963. Alvin’s love for the Lord and his desire to be a fully ordained minister took him from Maryland to Tennessee, where he served Baileyton Circuit in 1965 and Cosby Circuit in 1966, both in the Morristown District of the Hol- ston Conference. He was admitted on trial in the Holston Conference in 1965. From 1967 to 1969, he went to Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and received a master of divinity degree in 1969. During this time, Alvin was ordained a deacon in 1967 and was an elder in 1969. In 1969 and 1970, he was appointed to Shallowford Road Church in the Chattanooga District. His and Ruth’s youngest child, Michele Elaine, was born on March 22,1970. After he had served as a supply minister in 1971, Alvin and the whole family moved to Arizona so that Mich- ele, who had been born with severe asthma, could breathe. God was faithful, and Michele improved. The following years serving the Lord were busy. Alvin served as pastor at Patagonia, Arizona, 1972-75; Mur- rieta, California, 1976-77; and Max Meadows, Virginia, 1978. During the years 1978-82, Alvin worked at High Point Regional Hospital, in High Point, North Carolina, as the head orderly. In 1982, he joined the Missionary Methodist Church and served one appointment in Kings Mountain. In 1986, he returned to the Western North Carolina Conference, where he was admitted in full connection in 1988. In this conference, he served the fol- lowing appointments: Franklinville, 1986-88; High Point: Northwood-Randolph Hills, 1988-90; West Forsyth, Pfafftown, 1990-94; and Asheboro: Brower’s Chapel, 1994-96. Alvin retired in 1996, and he and Ruth went to Kenya, in Africa, to serve at Highlands Bible College. Once back in the states, Alvin served a year at a circuit of churches in the Red Bird Missionary Conference in Ken- tucky. Ruth and Alvin then came back to Pfafftown, where they made their home. Ruth went home to be with her Lord on February 28, 2003. Alvin, after a long battle with prostate cancer, went home to be with the Lord on July 31, 2004. His funeral and interment were at a church he loved. Fulton Church, at Advance, was his first charge, where he conducted his first wedding and his first funeral. It was also where he conducted his last fu- neral service, just weeks before his own passing and funeral. He was buried there on August 4, beside his lov- ing wife, Ruth. He taught us what love God has for his children by his example in word and deed. Jonathan M. Latham

352 WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE

WARREN CALVIN LEONARD January 9, 1922 – September 7, 2004

Warren Calvin Leonard was born on January 9, 1922, in Lexing- ton, North Carolina. The son of Tice and Daisy Reid Leonard, Cal was the fifth of ten children. He is survived by his wife, Catherine Ann Woodley Leonard, whom he married on March 15, 1980. He was formerly married to Dorothy Wayne Scott Leonard on May 9, 1949 (divorced, 1977; deceased on May 3, 2001), and to that union were born two children: Gregory Lon, on September 5, 1950 (deceased on November 4, 1974), and Marika LuDae (Tamplin), on March 6, 1953. Cal grew up in Lexington and was a 1944 graduate of Catawba College (A.B.) in Salisbury, North Carolina. He did his graduate stud- ies at the Theological Seminary of the U.S. at Franklin Marshall Col- lege in Lancaster, Pennsylvania (B.D., 1947). Originally ordained a minister in the Evangelical and Reformed Church in 1945, he was transferred as a member in full connection to the Western North Carolina Conference of The Methodist Church on September 26, 1949. He first served as pastor for three churches in Marshville, North Carolina, 1949-53. Appointments which followed were to Char- lotte: St. John’s, 1953-58; Gastonia: Bradley Memorial, 1958-62; Charlotte: Grace, 1962-66; Asheboro: Central, 1966-72; Monroe: Central, 1972-75; and Hickory: First, 1975-77. He took a disability leave on January 26, 1977. At this time in his life, he was trying to cope with the sudden death that took his son’s life in 1974. My brother, Greg, walked into a store, a robbery took place, and he died—shot in the back, the innocent victim of a tragic crime. A trial convicted the criminals to death row. Then, however, a second trial, an appeal, took place. The man who pulled the trigger was defended by a powerful, sophisticated lawyer, and, suddenly, he was free. My father had conflicting feelings and struggled with keeping goodness alive. From this horrific ordeal, an ex- amination of a tragic death produced a moving and thought-provoking book by my father, A Murderer Goes Free, published by Vantage Press, Inc., in 1980. The healing process began. Cal was humble, but he stood by his convictions and faith. He always said the world is full of vibrations, with songs in the air. He resumed his ministry and in 1979 was appointed to Sulphur Springs (1979-80). His official retirement from the Western North Carolina Conference was in 1980. Retirement led to living in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with his second wife, Ann. But Cal’s strong reliance upon God and his own deep commitment simply could not allow him to stay away from the ministry. He remained active as a minister of visitation for several churches in Loris and North Myrtle Beach for years to come. From 1991 to 1998, he served as interim pastor at First Presbyterian Church, Loris. He was chaplain for the North Myrtle Beach Department of Public Safety, a position in which he took pride and devoted himself to counseling and bestowing guidance for runaway teens, for the elderly during hurricane evacuations, and for the police force. He had so much warmth, encouragement, passion, and care for people. Cal’s quick wit was a blessing to all, and he loved a great joke. His gift of telling a joke and his impeccable storytelling revealed his precise, flawless timing, along with his great smile, a glow on his cheek, and a sparkle in his eye. During his years of ministry, Cal Leonard was considered a “financial” minister, gifted in raising money to build sanctuaries and education buildings for some of the churches he served. He thrived on growing member- ships. His leadership in planning bore fruit in demonstrations of his labors of love and in celebrations for his congregations. Cal was active in many benevolent clubs, for which he received special recognitions as Man of the Year in the local organizations. Cal loved working with youth. While he was at Central Church in Asheboro in the late 1960’s, an era in time known as the “generation gap,” the congregation purchased an old vacant house near the property of the church. My father led the UMYF groups at Central and surrounding churches to renovate the structure. Then he bought a big, old traffic light, hung it in front of the house, lit it up, and named the establishment “The Stop Gap.” It was a place for the teens to go after Friday-night football games. Great fellowship, music, and good times were shared, and “Preacher Cal” was “cool.” Throughout his lifetime, Cal was an avid golfer, raised bird dogs, loved to hunt quail, and traveled abroad, including a trip around the world. He also coached the famous 7-Up Little League team, one of the only unde- feated teams in the nation. One of his many joys was to entertain all in a carefree, light-hearted manner, play- ing whimsical tunes on his harmonica. He treasured long walks on the beach, which produced his trademark, the golden tan he enjoyed year round. Cal was diagnosed with cancer in August 2004. He died six weeks later at his home in North Myrtle Beach on September 7, 2004. I was overwhelmed with the gracious love, prayers, and support the entire community showed during the untimely illness and death of my father. The young and the old were constant visitors at his bedside during the weeks of his declining health. He confronted his illness with courage and dignity. 2005 JOURNAL 353

A formal Service of Death and Resurrection was held on September 11 at Trinity United Methodist Church in North Myrtle Beach. It was gloriously conducted by Steven L. Brown, pastor, and Randy Kessler, pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Loris. Jillian Elizabeth Tamplin and Robert Allen Tamplin, Jr., Cal’s grandchildren, partici- pated in the memorial service.

Warren Calvin Leonard will long be remembered for giving his best in his service to God, to his family, to his town, and to mankind. His gifts of adoration and inspiration will always be a keepsake in the hearts of the ones who knew him. His wish was for his ashes to be scattered along the shoreline of the beach, where he walked daily at the edge of the water. Marika Leonard Tamplin

JAMES HOLT MADISON October 29, 1929 – March 4, 2005

The James Holt Madison life story began in Reidsville, North Carolina, on October 29, 1929, as a son was born to John William and Martha Purgson Madison. In his young years in Reidsville, Holt lived on the fun side of life, with a healthy sense of adventure. After completing his high-school equivalency test, he entered John Wesley College in Greensboro. It was there that he met his future wife, Linda Forrest, whom he married on January 19, 1957. After completing his Th.B. degree at John Wesley College in 1957, Holt entered High Point College, where he completed his B.A. degree in 1960. During the time he was a student at High Point, he was licensed to preach and began his career as a Methodist minister in 1957, serving Hopewell Church at Trinity, North Carolina, 1957-60. Here, Holt be- gan his interest in investing, a sideline hobby he carried out in many ways across the years. Holt and Linda were the parents of two children, James Craig, born in 1957, and Joanne Linn, born in 1962. They had one grand- child, Chelsea Madison. Holt continued his education at Emory Uni- versity, where he received his master of divinity degree in 1963. While he was a student at Emory’s Candler School of Theology, he also served the Weaverville Circuit in Weaverville, North Carolina, 1960-64. He was admitted on trial in the Western North Carolina Conference and ordained deacon in 1961 and admitted to full connection and ordained elder in 1963. Following his graduation from Emory University, Holt was appointed in 1964 to serve the Emma and Green Memorial churches in Asheville, where he engendered such love and respect from the people that he was able to serve there for the next 20 years. During this time, he was known for his unique collection of antique organs. In the meantime, he passed along to his son and daughter a business acumen that endowed them for success- ful business careers. In 1984, Holt began his second long-term appointment, at Purcell and Big Spring churches in Charlotte, where he served until his retirement. His skill as a writer, who told stories and talked about down-to-earth hu- man relationships, was expressed in the hundreds of newsletters he wrote and circulated widely among his members and friends. In one of those newsletters, he said, “There is nothing I had rather do than be a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Holt was loved and respected. He was generous, caring, and fun-loving. His sense of humor and love of life manifested themselves in all his relationships. In one of his newsletters, he said, in jest, that his favorite epitaph for his tombstone was, “I told you I was sick.” What his tombstone can appropriately say, in character with his positive philosophy of life, is, “When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade.” Holt retired in 2000, after 43 years of ministry, and later moved to Givens Estates in Asheville. Holt and this writer were fellow college classmates, and fellow ministers, but more uniquely, they were each other’s mentors. Following Holt’s death on March 4, 2005, at Givens Estates, I led the memorial service for him at Groce Funeral Home in Asheville, assisted by Karen F. Miller, superintendent of the Asheville District. Holt’s burial was near a small lake, surrounded by trees, at Green Hills Cemetery, Asheville. Don C. Davis

354 WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE

HORACE ROBERT McSWAIN November 25, 1913 – September 20, 2004

Horace Robert McSwain passed away at Liberty Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, on September 20, 2004. He was born in Cherokee Falls, South Carolina, on No- vember 25, 1913, to Joseph Amos and Watola Roberts McSwain. He was the first cousin, five times removed, to John Ross, hus- band of Betsy Griscom Ross. He was also related to three signers of the Declaration of Independence and two signers of the United States Constitution. His great-great-great-grandfather was Mark Bird, whose farm and iron-ore furnace are now a historical na- tional park in Birdsboro, Pennsylvania. His fraternal grandfather bought from Abraham Enloe the house where Abraham Lincoln was born in Rutherford County, North Carolina (look it up!). Horace joined Central Methodist Church in Shelby, North Caro- lina, in 1913 and remained a member there until he entered the ministry. Growing up in Shelby and Cleveland County, with ten brothers and sisters, was a wonderful experience. He felt, how- ever, that he needed to drop out of high school to help his family financially, and he started working in textile mills. North Carolina Governor O. Max Gardner of Shelby knew of his leadership poten- tial. He encouraged Horace to finish high school and helped find financial aid so that he could study textiles at N.C. State College (now University). The governor wanted him to bring his leadership back to the textile industry in Cleveland County. Horace successfully graduated (B.S., with honors) from N.C. State in 1939. At N.C. State, he joined the de- bate club and effectively was the Atlantic Coast Conference debate champion. He debated and defeated a truly strong opponent, a man who years later would became the bishop of the Charlotte Area and his boss. He was also vice-president of his class and in that capacity gave the dedication speech for the NCSU Bell Tower lights. He was also president of the college YMCA and received many honors and awards, notably “30 and 3,” Blue Key, and Golden Chain. He loved NCSU and was known to listen to NCSU football and basketball games in the church office while waiting to perform Saturday afternoon weddings. So far as he told it, he never missed the start of a wedding. Having obtained his textile degree, he chose to enter the ministry and attended Oberlin College Graduate School of Theology, earning his bachelor of divinity degree in 1944. He also did post-graduate work at Colum- bia University in New York City. In 1959, Pfeiffer University conferred upon him the degree of doctor of divinity. He was admitted on trial in the Northeast Ohio Conference and ordained deacon in 1941 and admitted to full connection and ordained elder in 1944. On September 10, 1939, Horace married his high-school sweetheart, Margaret Lee Liles, of Shelby, and to them were born a son and two daughters: Horace Robert, Jr., born on November 17, 1949, and now married to the former Paula Grace Jackson; Patricia Louise, born on September 30, 1951, and now married to Wayne Martin; and Margaret Katherine, born on December 2, 1956, and now married to Dan Blair. He is survived by his children; a grandson, Robert Addison McSwain; two brothers; and three sisters. His wife, Margaret, prede- ceased him on February 13, 1987. Horace was first appointed to the Chatham-Lafayette charge in Ohio (1939-42). He would serve as a chap- lain in the U.S. Navy from 1944 to 1946, assigned to the South Pacific and Shanghai, China. On October 3, 1946, he transferred to the Western North Carolina Conference and served the following pastorates: Gold Hill, 1946-48; Bryson City, 1948-51; Mount Airy: Central, 1969-71; Wadesboro: First, 1971-73; Forest City: First, 1973-77; and Concord: Forest Hill, 1977-79. He was granted retirement at the 1979 conference session, and he served from 1979 to 1980 as supply pastor at Locust. In retirement, he lived for a time in Forest City, near the place where his ancestor David McSwain immigrated from Scotland in 1725. His notable ministry as a pastor was exemplary, but it was in his appointment as executive secretary of the conference Board of Missions from 1951 to 1969 that Horace McSwain offered his most unique and immeasur- able gift to the conference and the worldwide church. It is arguable that no other member of the conference was ever so identified as “Mr. Missions” as was he. During the period 1951-69, to speak of missions was, as it were, to speak of him in the same breath. The multifaceted mission program of the conference today still bears the mark of his inspired leadership. He was creator of the conference building teams and medical teams pro- grams, a founding board member and first president of Hinton Rural Life Center, and an advisor to The Duke Endowment. Following his death on September 20, 2004, funeral services were conducted on September 24 at First Church, Forest City, with burial in Sunset Cemetery, Shelby. H.

EDGAR HARRISON, NEASE, JR. March 27, 1924 – October 18, 2004

The culmination of a life well lived and well shared came on Oc- tober 18, 2004, as Edgar Harrison Nease, Jr., completed his earthly journey and joined the Church Triumphant. Edgar’s legacy of faithful and effective ministry remains among us still through the multitude of lives he touched and the many churches he served and shaped in the name of Christ. In the book of Nehemiah, the writer reflects, “The gracious hand of my God was with me” (Nehemiah 2:76). Edgar became aware of God’s gracious hand in his life at an early age. Born in Durham, North Carolina, on March 27, 1924, to the late Reverend Dr. Edgar Harrison Nease, Sr., and Mabel Winkler Nease, he was nurtured in the faith and became open to the stirring of God in his life. Having graduated from Central High School in Charlotte, he graduated from Duke University (A.B., 1945) and, responding to God’s “stirring,” entered Duke Divinity School, where he com- pleted his B.D. degree in 1948. For Edgar, nothing less than full engagement at school was ac- ceptable. He gave himself completely to any task, as if his work were an offering to God. It was evident in his academics, extracur- ricular activities, and personal relationships. He reveled in music as a tenor soloist in the Duke Chapel Choir and Duke Glee Club. He served as associate director of the Duke Chapel Choir and directed the Divinity Choir. His leadership was recognized as president of the Freshman Advisory Council and president of his senior class. All this was but a harbinger of things to come. Armed with deep faith, passion for Christ, and seemingly limitless energy, Edgar enthusiastically began serv- ing churches in the Western North Carolina Conference. He was admitted on trial and ordained deacon in 1947 and admitted in full connection and ordained elder in 1949. His first appointment, from the spring to the fall in 1948, was as associate minister at Central in Asheville. Edgar was then appointed in the fall of 1948 to Kanna- polis: Memorial, where he organized and then built the first phase of the church. In 1950, Edgar was appointed to Abernethy in Asheville as its first full-time pastor. From there, he served Calvary in Asheboro, 1955-57. Ap- pointment to Valdese: First came in 1957, followed by appointment to Rutherfordton: First in 1961. Another First Church appointment came in 1965, as Edgar moved to High Point. In 1969, he became the High Point dis- trict superintendent, but, as often was the case, the conference soon had need of his considerable skills in an- other assignment. In 1970, Edgar became the executive director of Lake Junaluska Assembly. For the next seven years, he ably led the assembly through a great period of expansion and effectiveness for the Southeast Jurisdiction of The United Methodist Church. In 1977, Edgar was appointed to Hickory: First, and in 1980 he was assigned to Charlotte: Dilworth, where his contagious spirit brought encouragement and fresh life to the changing neighborhood. Edgar’s ministry was brought full circle in 1987, as he was appointed to be senior pas- tor at Central Church, Asheville, where he had begun his ministry as an associate pastor 39 years before. Though he retired in 1989, Edgar continued to serve as pastor at Central Church, Clyde, and then in 1994, he “retired” again. Retirement was not something Edgar knew how to do, however, so he began developing the chaplaincy program at Haywood Regional Medical Center and served as its senior chaplain for five years. Edgar’s sense that “God’s gracious hand” was with him was clearly affirmed as he met his life partner in min- istry and marriage, Marianna Caldwell. Though they were of different personalities, there was a certainty that they were meant to make life’s journey together. They were married on May 7, 1949, and for 55 years their re- lationship was a source of comfort and strength for each other as days began with morning devotions and ended kneeling side by side for prayer. Edgar’s devotion extended to the children: Edgar Harrison III (born on February 2, 1951) and Marilynda Mouchet (born on March 6, 1954). With extraordinary kindness and sensitivity, Edgar recognized that “moving day” for Methodist preachers was no small thing to children whose world would be turned upside down. With patience, wisdom, and conversation over a Fudgesickle or two, Edgar would listen, empathize, and love until lit- tle hearts could at last say goodbye to what had been and become excited about what could yet be. I came to know and value Edgar when he came to the 25th Anniversary Logan Preaching Mission at First Church, Rutherfordton. He had been instrumental in founding the preaching mission and had been invited to preach the series in that anniversary year. While the services were very well attended and Edgar’s preaching well received, the most noteworthy thing of all was the esteem in which Edgar was held by not only those who were First Methodist people, but also by people from the community at large. It signaled the great gift Edgar had for being a connector of people. Across denominational lines, political lines, ethnic and racial lines, and so- cioeconomic lines, Edgar treated people with honor and respect and with an eye toward the common good of all for the sake of God’s kingdom. 356 WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE

It was evident in every church he served, every civic organization in which he participated, every beyond- the-local-church ministry he championed. With seemingly limitless energy, he continually found new opportuni- ties to be God’s Nehemiah kind of builder. Even as those last years impinged so heavily on body and mind, even as he endued the untimely death of his beloved son, Eddie, Edgar’s spirit was resilient. “The Lord’s been good to me,” he would say often when memory and other words were no longer close at hand. The gracious hand of God was with Edgar on October 18, 2004, at Givens Health Care Center in Asheville as he breathed his last breath and was gathered “home” for glad reunion with Eddie and those Edgar loved who had gone before. Services of thanksgiving to God and celebration of Edgar’s life were held at First Church, Waynesville, with W. Lyn Sorrells, John H. Christy, Jr., Robert W. Little and John E. Davis, Jr., officiating. A memorial service was held at Dilworth Church, Charlotte, with Frank H. (Duke) Ison and this writer officiating. Interment took place at Evergreen Cemetery in Charlotte. For those who have had the distinctive joy of knowing Edgar Harrison Nease, Jr., as pastor, friend, or col- league, there is a grateful recognition that, through Edgar, the gracious hand of God has been with us as well.

EMORY POWELL March 18, 1930 – May 4, 2004

There is a great deal of the life of Emory Powell that is not told by the two dates which designate his birth and death. One can construe that God blessed him with more than his allotted three- score and ten years, but the number of years lived is only part of the story of one who lived solely to bring glory to his God. Born on March 18, 1930, in Lenoir, in Caldwell County, North Carolina, Emory was the youngest son born to the late James Monroe and Agnes Corpening Powell. He was the second-young- est of twelve children (six girls and six boys) born to the Powells. Seven of Emory’s siblings preceded him in death: five brothers, Gaither, Albert, Reece, Albert A., and Robert Lee; and two sis- ters, Johnsie Powell and Virginia P. Dixon. The four remaining sisters, Lucille, Christine, Ruby, and Marion, were very close to Emory. He never married, but shared an enduring special friend- ship with Joann Anderson Thomas, who was his caregiver to the end of his earthly life. As a young man, Emory was educated in the public schools of Lenoir, North Carolina, and was a graduate of Freedman High School. Following high school, he gave four years of his life in military service to his country in the U.S. Army. He spent most of his military service at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, but he also spent some time in Germany. Emory returned to his home in Le- noir following active duty and proudly joined the ranks of his com- rades in the Harper-Witherspoon American Legion Post 231. He worked for many years in the furniture indus- try, particularly at Blowing Rock Chair in nearby Hudson. He also worked for Wise Homes as a salesperson, and he later worked for the U.S. Forestry Service. Emory was very industrious. Motivated by a dream to be a homeowner, he built his own home in the early 50’s. This was especially challenging, during an era when securing adequate bank financing was particularly hard for blacks; however, his guiding principle was, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” So, by stages, he built one of the most majestic brick houses in the community where he was born, called the Harpertown community. Emory lived and died in that house, which he dearly loved. He was a pillar in the com- munity all of his life. Emory Powell was raised in the Methodist Episcopal Church and was a lay person at Harper’s Chapel M.E. Church, just a block away from the family’s home. At the age of 45, he answered God’s call to public ministry. He was licensed to preach in 1975, and from 1976 to 1978 he was appointed to his first church, as an associ- ate minister at the Philadelphia-Green Hill-Beaver Creek charge. In the years that followed, Emory prepared for ministry via the Course of Study at Duke Divinity School, while continuing to serve as a local pastor. In 1978, he became pastor of Beaver Creek charge, and for the next 24 years, he was solely devoted to the Beaver Creek charge, composed of Burgess Chapel, Green Hill, and Beaver Creek churches. He will always be re- membered for his love of people, with whom he eagerly shared his witness, wisdom, and humor. He always visited the sick and always “tried to get people to do right,” says his sister Ruby. Though he never married, he was a charmer, in a fun-loving way. He would often say, “That’s one of my girlfriends,” of whom he admitted, “I gave her half a stick of my chewing gum.” Emory retired, officially, in 2000, but he continued to serve the Beaver Creek charge until 2002, despite be- ing diagnosed with cancer. By reason of health, after a brave struggle with his cancer diagnosis, Emory laid aside his ecclesiastical robe and continued his Christian journey with the congregation of Harper’s Chapel, where his journey began. He would preach occasionally, as his health allowed. He would always preface his sermon with the words, “I feel good today ... I can feel the Holy Ghost moving!” And, surely enough, the pres- ence and power of the Holy Ghost was evident in him, despite his illness. His ministerial career and accom- plishments were affirmed and celebrated by colleagues, friends, and all the congregations he served at a re- tirement service in his honor in April 2003, at Smith Memorial United Methodist Church in Lenoir. 2005 JOURNAL 357

On May 4, 2004, Emory Powell gave up the ghost at his home, at 1013 Harpertown Drive, Lenoir. A Service of Death and Resurrection was conducted on May 8 at Harper’s Chapel United Methodist Church, with a eulogy delivered by Overseer Philmore Hester, a long-time colleague and friend. His body was laid to rest at Harpertown Community Cemetery. A great soldier has gone to receive his heavenly reward. Those who survive to cherish his memory include four sisters, Mrs. Lucille P. Banner (Charlie), Ms. Christine Powell, Mrs. Marion Shives (Robert), and The Reverend Ruby Dula, all of Lenoir; a special friend and care- giver, Ms. Joann Anderson Thomas of Wilkesboro; and a host of relatives and friends.

WOODROW WILSON PRYOR November 22, 1914 – January 16, 2005

Woodrow Wilson Pryor was born in Cowpens, South Carolina, on November 22, 1914. He was one of ten children born to Corrie Idella LeMaster Pryor and George Donohue Pryor. On December 24, 1933, “Woody” married Rebecca Aileen Wright, who was to be his wife for 71 years and 24 days. Together, Woody and Aileen entered The Salvation Army Training College in Atlanta, Georgia, both graduating in 1940 as ordained ministers. Woody went on to receive a doctor of theology degree from the American Bible College, Chicago, Illinois, in 1948. Woody and Aileen were to have five children over the next 20 years: Juanita Jeanne (Gordon), born on November 23, 1934; Robert (Bob) Wilson Pryor, born on August 29, 1937; Nancy Caroline (Grills), born on May 1, 1942; Rebecca Susan (Osmundson), born on January 24, 1950; and Sarah Aileen (Beam), born on February 17, 1955. As Salvation Army officers, Woody and Aileen were first assigned to Cushing, Oklahoma. Subsequent transfers would take them to Lawton, Ada, and Sapulpa, Oklahoma; Jackson, Mississippi; and Knoxville and Johnson City, Tennessee. At a time when it was very unusual to belong to more than one civic club, Woody became active in the Civitans, Optimists, Lions, and Rotary and was much sought after as a guest speaker. In his final appointment as a Salvation Army officer, Woodrow was to become a Master Mason. Seeking a more traditional ministry after 24 years in The Salvation Army, Woody sought and received ordi- nation in The Methodist Church. He was licensed to preach in the Western North Carolina Conference in De- cember 1959. He was later to be ordained a deacon in 1962 and an elder in 1964. He was admitted as an as- sociate member of the conference in 1969. Woodrow’s first charge with The Methodist Church was in 1960 to Union in the Gastonia District. In 1964, he went to the Elmwood charge, and in 1968 to Cold Springs, both in the Salisbury District. In 1972, he was as- signed to the Harrison-Marvin charge in the Charlotte District, and in 1977 to Bethesda-Smyre in the Gastonia District. Woody was committed to his ministry and to building new churches and parsonages in his charges. He did this with great success. Woodrow retired in 1980 and moved to Columbia, South Carolina, to be near his son, Robert, who had re- tired as an officer in the U.S. Army. Eventually, all the Pryor children would live near Woody and Aileen. Woody’s ministry was to continue until the time of his death. He went daily to nearby nursing homes to play the piano and sing hymns during their lunch times. But his most-loved deed as God’s servant was to pass out his “Jesus” cards everywhere, a quarter million of them. He was dauntless in this task and would give a card to everyone who crossed his path. At the local malls, often chastised by the security guards, he continued to dis- tribute the “Jesus” cards to many of the vehicles in the lot and to people who were in the mall itself. When he left the mall, he would go back to pick up all the cards that were tossed away, commenting that these were the ones on “stony ground.” On Christmas Day 2004, Woody was taken to the hospital with a severe kidney infection. After a brief stay, he returned home. On January 8, 2005, he fell and was returned to the hospital. Just one day prior to surgery to repair his injured back, Woody’s kidneys failed and he slipped into a coma. He passed from this life at 3:30 P.M. on January 16, 2005. Funeral services for Woodrow Wilson Pryor, 91, were held on January 19 at Win- dsor United Methodist Church, conducted by Michael C. Walker. Interment followed at Greenlawn Memorial Park Mausoleum. Woody is survived by his wife of 71 years, Aileen; Bob Pryor and his wife, Sandy, and their daughters, Karen Pryor and Andrea Black and her husband, Rodney; Juanita Gordon and her daughters, Dana Kyle and her husband Kevin, and Jacquelyn Morgan and her husband, Charles, and their daugher, Mary Elizabeth; Susan Osmundson and her husband, Mike, and their son, Christopher Agle, and his wife, Leslie, and their sons, Davis and Patrick; Nancy Grills and her daughter, Sherri Walton, and her husband, Josh, and their children, Jennifer and Benjamin; Sarah Beam of Greenville, South Carolina, and her daughters, Meagan, Lindsey, and Hailey. Woody is also survived by a younger sister, Grace Motte, of Irmo, South Carolina. Juanita P. Gordon

EVERETT EUGENE RICHARDSON, JR. May 31, 1959 – December 6, 2004

Everett Eugene Richardson, Jr., was born on May 31, 1959, in High Point, in Guilford County, North Carolina, to Everett Eugene, Sr., and Willie Sue Warren Richardson. A 1977 graduate of West Mecklenburg High School, Gene at- tended High Point College and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received his bachelor of arts degree from the Uni- versity of North Carolina at Charlotte in 1982. Answering his call to ministry, Gene entered the Divinity School at Duke University in 1986 and received his master of divinity degree in 1989. A member of St. James United Methodist Church in Charlotte, Gene was admitted to probationary membership in the Western North Carolina Conference and ordained as a deacon in 1988 and admitted in full connection and ordained as an elder in 1991. From 1989 to January 1, 1995, he served the Fairfield-Lebanon charge in the Charlotte District, and he continued at Fairfield after it be- came a station church from that date until 1996. In June 1996, he was appointed to Ogburn Memorial in Winston-Salem, where he led the congregation in the closing and relocating of this church and in the building and opening of Faith Church. On July 1, 2004, Gene moved to Bethlehem, in the Greensboro District. He died there in his home on December 6, 2004. As focused as he was personable, Gene was passionate about his congregations’ developing a vision to inspire their fellowship in Christ and empower their witness and service in Christ’s name. An outstanding student and teacher and a gifted worship leader and preacher, Gene took to heart his charge to teach and preach the Word of God. Be- yond the classroom and sanctuary, Gene used his interest in drama and coaching in church and community ac- tivities to show how faith in Christ fills one’s life with meaning and with laughter and love. Whatever inspired Gene won his unwavering allegiance. He was a diehard fan of the Tar Heels, the Mets, the Vikings, NASCAR, Apple Computers, Dairy Queen, and Camp Meeting at the Rock Springs Campground in Denver, North Carolina. These things added to his enjoyment of daily life. But Gene’s love and devotion for his father and mother, his sisters and brother, his nieces and nephews, and his life-long friends and his faith in Je- sus Christ were the true foundation of his life and ministry, and Gene was ever mindful and thankful for the support and inspiration he received from those who knew and loved him best. Ever the teacher and pastor, Gene wrote letters of instruction and encouragement for his family when he was recovering from heart surgery and when he was ill and facing the possibility of his death. “Because of your efforts and devotion, I have thousands of fantastic memories of my childhood. I want you to remember me with joy ... I shared life with some incredible friends. So go forward into the future God is giving you ... Don’t forget to celebrate.” On December 10, 2004, Gene’s family, fellow ministers, and a host of friends from high school, college, and each congregation he had served gathered at Assurance United Methodist Church in Huntersville, where the congregation from St. James had relocated, to remember and celebrate Gene’s life and ministry. Services of remembrance were also held on December 19, 2004, at Bethlehem Church in Climax and on February 20, 2005, at Faith Church in Rural Hall, where special memories were collected in a booklet so fittingly titled, In Loving Memory of a Pastor, a Mentor, a Visionary, a Brother, a Friend. We praise God for the precious memo- ries we shall cherish forever of Gene Richardson, a good and faithful servant and disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ. Roland T. Barnhardt

WILLIAM DENVER STONE December 11, 1926 – May 8, 2004

William Denver Stone was born in Sharon, West Virginia, on December 11, 1926, to Med and Mabel Fetty Stone. He was one of five children born to a coal-mining family. He joined Dawes Methodist Church, where he later served as an itinerant pastor. After graduating from East Bank High School in 1944, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served his country in the Philippines. While there, he set his sights on being a missionary in Asia. After his honorable discharge from the navy, he attended Co- lumbia Bible College and graduated on May 29, 1950, with a bachelor of arts degree. On March 23, 1951, he married Jean Lois Nixon, whom he had met at Columbia Bible College. Return- ing to West Virginia, he enrolled in Concord College, commuting four hours daily from his home in Sharon while serving churches in Pinch, Thorpe, Anawalt, and Welch, West Virginia. The state of West Virginia required that he set bond at $1500 in order to per- form marriages! On July 15, 1955, he graduated with a bachelor of science degree in education and, a year later, was admitted on trial in the West Virginia Conference; he was ordained deacon in 1957. In 1956, he enrolled in Duke Divinity School and served as pastor of Bethel Methodist Church in Graham, North Carolina, un- til 1959, when he graduated with a bachelor of divinity degree. He subsequently was admitted to full connection and ordained elder that same year. On January 22, 1960, he was commissioned as a missionary and set sail for Penang, Malaya, with his wife, Jean, and their two daughters, Sheila (born on February 25, 1953) and Ramona (born on November 1, 1955). While awaiting visas for Indonesia, he served churches in Penang and Kuala Lumpur, Malaya. In 1962, he was finally able to go to Indonesia, where he was pastor of an international congregation in Medan, Sumatra. His son, Steve, was born on October 23, 1963, in Indonesia. Assigned to Singapore in 1965, he taught at Trinity Theological College while concurrently serving as a full- time pastor of Pentecost, Toa Payoh, and Bedok Methodist churches. He pioneered the Aldersgate Methodist Church and the English congregation of Bukit Panjang Methodist Church. Denver returned to Singapore from home leave in 1975 and joined Trinity Theological College on a full-time basis as the director of continuing education. He continued his work in prison ministry and community outreach, encouraging visitation in homes and nursing homes. It was his mission to see the church in the hands of the lo- cal people, and when he retired in 1991, he established a charitable trust fund for Trinity Theological College to further theological education. Plans are under way to expand the fund into an endowment in the memory of Denver and Jean Stone. Although retired, he continued his work in the church by serving as visitation minister at Muir’s Chapel United Methodist Church in Greensboro, North Carolina. He transferred to the Western North Carolina Conference on November 1, 1993. Always ready to accept a challenge, he returned to the mission field in 1995 to assist in es- tablishing an English service in Jakarta, Indonesia. While there, his wife, Jean, died unexpectedly on January 7, 1996. In 1999, the General Board of Global Ministries invited Denver to facilitate the unification of the Meth- odist churches in Cambodia, where he worked for almost a year. He then returned to his home in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he led services in assisted-living facilities and continued hospital visitation. Denver Stone died on May 8, 2004, in Greensboro following several years of suffering with Alzheimer’s dis- ease. Following a memorial service in Greensboro, his daughters took his ashes to Singapore, where they were inurned on May 22, 2004, in the Garden of Remembrance. His three children, Sheila Elaine Stone Polinsky, Ramona Gail Stone Magid, and Stephen Paul Stone, survive him, along with their spouses and chil- dren. Sheila Stone Polinsky

360 WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE

RAY FRANKLIN SWINK June 1, 1918 – February 15, 2005

Born June 1, 1918, in Davidson County, North Carolina, Ray Franklin Swink was the youngest of eight children of Alice Wrenn and George Franklin Swink. Following graduation from Linwood High School in Davidson County, Ray received degrees from Bre- vard College (A.A., 1942), High Point University (A.B., 1944), and Duke Divinity School (M.Div., 1947), as well as the honorary de- gree of doctor of divinity from Pfeiffer University in 1975. On August 19, 1947, Ray married Mary Lillian Andrews. Ray and Mary celebrated the birth of their daughter, Sandra Walker Swink, on November 30, 1955. Two grandchildren, Jennifer and Reid, born to J. Wesley and Sandra Swink Bobbitt, brought joy to their lives. Ray was ordained deacon and joined the Western North Caro- lina Conference on trial in 1946. He was received into full connec- tion and ordained elder in 1948. His first appointment was to Bre- vard College, where he served as assistant to the president from 1946 to 1948, and where he was head of the Department of Relig- ion from 1948 to 1949. He then served as pastor in the following appointments: Concord-El Bethel (1949-1951); Davidson (Thomas- ville District), 1951-1956; Asheville: Oakley, 1956-1961; Granite Falls: First, 1961-1966; Charlotte: Commonwealth, 1966-1972; and High Point: First, 1978-1981. Ray also served as Albemarle district superintendent (1972-1978) and as administrative assistant to Bishops L. Scott Allen and L. Bevel Jones III (1981-1988). Across the years of his ministry, Ray was active in the Christian Action League of North Carolina, the North Carolina Council of Churches, the General Assembly of the National Council of Churches, and Kiwanis Interna- tional. He also served on the Methodist Board of Publication; the Western North Carolina Conference Board of Pensions; and the governing boards of Arbor Acres, Givens Estates, and The Methodist Home. After serving forty-two years as a member of the Western North Carolina Conference, Ray retired in 1988. He and Mary continued to live in their home in Charlotte until they became residents at Aldersgate United Methodist Retirement Community. Following a brief illness, Ray died on February 15, 2005, at Liberty Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Charlotte. A Service of Celebration was held on February 17 at Myers Park United Methodist Church, Char- lotte, with James C. Howell and Joe A. Hamby officiating. In reflecting on the legacy of Ray Swink’s life and ministry, it is clear that his commitment to Christian social concerns and his interest in Christian higher education were paramount. His many gifts may have best served the church in his appointments as district superintendent and administrative assistant to the bishop, where he so effectively combined administrative leadership, a pastor’s heart, the gift of his unhurried presence, and his genuine love for the ministers and churches of our annual conference. Thanks be to God for the Christ-like life of Ray Franklin Swink! James T. Trollinger

CLARENCE EDWARD WRIGHT September 23, 1935 – May 12, 2004

“But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our in- iquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). These are words that meant so much to Clarence Edward Wright, as became obvious at his service of death and resurrection on May 15, 2004, at his last appointment, the New Goshen United Methodist Church in Greensboro, North Carolina. Clarence was born the oldest of six children, in Brown Summit, North Carolina, to Maggie Milton and the late John Lester Wright on a wonderful autumn day, September 23, 1935. His formal education began in the Guilford County school system. He joins his family who have left the Church Militant and gone to the Church Triumphant! Those are his loving father, John Lester; one brother, Howard; and one son, John Edward. Clarence worked at P. Lorillard Tobacco Company and at Cellar Anton’s Italian restaurant, which prepared him for his ultimate call- ing to the ministry in The United Methodist Church. Clarence was a life-long member of Jackson United Meth- odist Church at Brown Summit, where he served as lay speaker, Sunday School superintendent, chairperson of the board of trustees, and a member of the United Methodist Men. Clarence never forgot the words his cousin Leroy Jordan, some 17 years prior to his entering the ministry, said to him: “I’m gonna call you preacher, be- cause one day you’re gonna be a preacher.” Clarence committed himself to the educational requirements of the Western North Carolina Conference. He attended North Carolina A&T State University at Greensboro and completed the Advanced Course of Study at 2005 JOURNAL 361

Duke Divinity School. Clarence accomplished his ultimate goal with the educational requirements for ordination as an elder at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. While pursuing his education, Clarence loved the chil- dren that rode his bus going Madison Elementary and Northeast Junior High schools in Guilford County. He encouraged these children to be the best they could be. He developed some great and caring relationships with those students. Clarence’s spiritual journey led him to accept the call to the ordained ministry, and was licensed to preach in 1989. He was admitted to associate membership in the Western North Carolina Conference and ordained dea- con in 1996 and admitted to full connection and ordained elder in 1999. He served appointments to Asheboro: St. Mark’s, 1989-1992; Empire Circuit, 1992-1995; and Kings Mountain: Galilee-St. Paul’s, 1995-2003. He was granted retirement in 2003 and served as pastor at New Goshen until his death on May 12, 2004, at his home in Greensboro. Clarence was a devoted and loving husband to his beautiful wife, Rebecca Jordan, for almost 50 years. They were married on July 31, 1954. Two children survive their father: Melvin Clarence, born on June 26, 1957, and now of Greensboro, and David Lamont, born on October 6, 1959, and now of Winston-Salem. He is also survived by his grandchildren: Jada, Stephanie, Nicholas (Dianna), James (Leslie), Dana, Louis, and Ian; his six great-grandchildren; his mother, Maggie Milton McAdoo, of Brown Summit; his brothers, James (Diane) and Levi (Lelia), both of Brown Summit; and his sisters, Mildred (Eddie) Bryant of Brown Summit and Frances (Eugene) Randolph of Greensboro. Clarence always remembered the words of our grandfather, who had a well-known saying around his farm. He would tell Clarence, “There will be a lot of flopping, but a few flying!” Clarence shared this statement with all his congregations. Clarence was an avid reader. His favorite subjects were John Wesley and Black history. Of his many pleas- ures, the one which he felt to be the most rewarding was reading to his granddaughter. There are no more ap- propriate words with which to capture the true essence of his life than the words of his favorite hymn: When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. Paul N. Milton
