Abstract
"Saturday the presiding elder and a young preacher named H. C. Settle arrived. The latter had a young wife who cut quite a figure in the meeting. On Saturday we all took our dinner to the grounds, and had a good sermon from the presiding elder, B. H. Russell, which pleased all. Russell was a fine speaker and understood his audience. All things went smoothly and all felt assured of success. Sunday was to be the big day. For miles and miles the people came in crowds, all drawn to a common center. Some sat under the arbor and listened to the preaching, some swapped horses, and all indulged in the usual style of spending Sunday except those who sat under the arbor."
