1st Disciple's of Christ Church

HELEN WRITES

J. Lee YOUNG walked the pipeline past our house on Blosser Hill at regular intervals in the 1930’s. The line went down over the hill by Mary and Bill STAMMLER’S place on the way to Brown’s Hill (coal during WWI) and on toward Nilan. I wonder who owned the gas company. Was it Point Marion Gas Co. or Fayette County Gas Co. or Green Co. Gas Co,?

J. Lee YOUNG lived on High School Hill in Point Marion, PA overlooking the 1st Disciple’s of Christ Church on Morgantown Street. He taught the men’s bible class. Frank BOWERS was Superintendent of the Sunday School and led the singing of “Onward Christian Soldiers,” “I Would be True,” “Fairest Lord Jesus” and “Love Lifted Me.” John McCLAIN was also a prominent member of this church. Oren DICE and Robert EARLY, a graduate of Yale University, were ministers of the 1st Christian Church. Robert Early really concentrated on building a vibrant youth group . We had outings at Camp Buddy, Sunset Beach, at Lake Lynn and exchanges with other youth groups near Pittsburg. And there was an annual picnic at Shady Grove where we got to drive the Dodg’ems.
