TENT MEETING ON SUNSET HILL BEGINNING OF WESLEYAN CHURCH A tent meeting on Sunset Hill early in the 1920s was the beginning of the present Wesleyan Methodist Church at 14th and Dunn. >From this meeting, conducted by the Rev. Cown, a congregation was formed that decided to purchase a lot on West Howe Street a block west of the Nazarene Church. The Rev. Cown preached there for a time and then the Rev. Faris conducted a revival at Grimes Lane and the Monon Railroad. From this latter tent meeting, the worshippers decided to build a new church. The property at 11th and Dunn was donated by one of the Showers brothers. Among the charter members were: Mrs. Anna Henshaw, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Tittle, Mrs. Hettie Baluth, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Bezzy, Sr. and Mr. and Mrs. George Gillispie. Present average attendance of the church is about 25, and membership is being stimulated by a revival now in progress.Among the present members who have been active the longest in the church are: Mr. and Mrs. Alva Page, Mr. and Mrs. Carson Aynes, Mrs. Joe Bennett, Mrs. George Rayl, Mrs. Ferbia Shields, Mrs. Ray and Mr. and Mrs. Claude Hawkins.
