Historical Tidbits From

100 Years Ago

The church membership totaled

1,038, 425 men and 613 women.

The United States had entered into

World War I. Nearly 70 FBC men

and women had joined the armed

forces, many of them stationed

overseas.

The church established a Comfort

Committee for War Service Men.

This group reached out to minister

to the Marines stationed at the

newly created base at Quantico. A

good number of Marines began

attending the church services.

While relaxing on vacation, Pastor

Emerson Swift reflected: “Looking

over the records of the year, I find

the labor has been strenuous yet

fruitful in souls and gifts to the

Kingdom. We have received 74 by

baptism since March. Our gifts to

missions have been larger than any

year, and in addition to the generous

giving the church has liberally

helped the Red Cross and camp

work. Fredericksburg stands ready

for great tasks.”

The church Property Committee

urged the church to investigate

wiring and installing electric lights

to replace the gas fixtures that often

emitted a disagreeable odor. When it

was determined the work could be

done for $375, Deacon W.A. Bell

stood up in a business meeting and

initiated a spontaneous collection

that netted $270. The church

installed electric service a short time

later.

th Historic Garden Club

of Virginia

Orange County Saturday, April 21st

Three hundred years of architecture will

come to life on this tour through the

stunning countryside of Orange

County. Visitors will appreciate the

evolving tastes and styles of the tour’s

highlights – a 1720’s farmhouse,

elegant in its simplicity, a fancy

Victorian painted lady, a 20th century

stately brick home. History blends

with friendliness and hospitality on

this driving tour of private homes and

gardens in Virginia’s Piedmont.

We will leave the church at 8:30am

and travel in a church bus to each of

these locations. There will be food

trucks available at Bloomsbury as

Primemers to:
