OLIVET METHODIST CHURCH--MEMBERS 1869-1969

This list is taken from a pamphlet printed by the church in 1969. It was not professionally published. If, however, there is any reason we should delete a name or family, (such as to protect the privacy of living persons), please email me, and I will take it off the list. In addition to the list of members, Donna has provided an excerpt which I have posted below the list. The pamphlet is in the possesion of Donna Duwe in Oregon, and she has been kind enough to let us post the information on this site. I apologize for the interpretation of the browsers to this text, but this was the quickest and easiest way to supply it. It might be easiest to use your browser's search function (CTRL+F) to find a specific surname.

Excerpts from pamphlet dated 1969

    Rev. J.W. Owens reported a Woman's Missionary Society in 1894 but no
details were recorded. Again May 1913 Rev. W.C. Rice reported that the
Missionary Society was active but lacked interest in Missions. Miss Carrie and
Katherine Edwards, Mrs. Joella Crawford and Mrs. Slonaker were active members.
In 1945 a Woman's Society of Christian Service was organized with Ms. John W.
Ellis president. Much time and energy was fiven to study, this group always
followed the study program set up by the conference. Others who served as
president have been Miss Mattie Slonaker, Mrs. William Latta, Mrs. Claude
Slonaker, Mrs. Sam Griffith and Mrs. Alfred Talley.
     The woman's Society has a way of expressing appreciation by giving to its
members which represents a sum of money that has been sent to missions in
their honor. Those so honored have been Miss Mattie Slonaker, Mrs. Sam
Griffith, Mrs. C.B. Slonaker, Mrs. Paul Metcalf and Mrs. Dennis Metcalf.
    They have also sent gifts to missions in honor of these babies, Robert
Stephen Brooks, Philip Mac Turner, Richard Dennis Brooks, Carol Jean Hanny,
Todd William Rowe, Melody Metcalf, Elizabeth Ann Henderson,Cheryl Lynn
Henderson and Darrin Talley.

    The Olivet Society has been represented at theree assemblies, in
Milwaukee, St. Louis and Portland, Oregon by Mrs. William Latta. Mrs. Leo
Mills, Mrs. C.B. Slonaker and Mrs. William Latta have served as District
Officers and Mrs. William Latta has served as a Conference Officer in the
Missouri East Conference.
