Synopsis
Excerpt from The Chapel Hill Methodist Church, a Centennial History, 1853-1953
Ministers during the war years were Robert A. Willis, Wil liam C. Wilson, and R. S. Webb. The church was in the Raleigh District until 1862. During the war years it was shunted back and forth between the Raleigh and Fayetteville Districts, but in 1866 was again placed regularly in the Raleigh District. In 1872 it was placed in the Hillsboro District where it remained until 1883. It was placed in the Durham District in 1884. Where it still remains. In 1867 the Chapel Hill Church was combined with the Haw River Church which union continued until 1878. Shortly after the close of the Civil War membership in the Chapel Hill Church jumped to 158 whites and 45 Negroes, and in 1867 it numbered 219 and 58. In 1869 - 1870 the Negro mem bers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, withdrew and organized a separate church. Consequently the Negro member ship dropped from over to less than The Chapel Hill Negro membership declined even more drastically, dropping from a maximum of 81 in 1864 to 8 in 1871. The Reconstruction period brought a revival of interest in Sunday schools. The North Carolina Annual Conference of 1870 voted to participate in the Sunday School Convention held in Nashville, Tennessee, and elected W. S. Black, Presiding Elder of the Raleigh District, a delegate to that body. The suc ceeding Annual Conference by a divided vote went on record as favoring the use of The Uniform Lesson System, including Eggleston's Teacher's Manual first published in 1869. That Con ference also appointed the Reverend James Reid Sunday School Agent. R. S. Strowd, lay delegate from Chapel Hill, was a mem ber of the Conference Committee on Sunday Schools. The Chapel Hill Sunday school grew rapidly and soon had a large membership with a regular attendance of nearly one hundred. Unfortunately the school at a rural country church, which was a part of the Chapel Hill charge, usually suspended during the winter months.
