This was posted to the Randolph Co discussion list. There are some LOONEYs mentioned. ///Steve Looney/// ========================================================= >ANTIOCH (RANDOLPH) Antioch Church was located about nine miles east of Dalton, and was constituted in 1873. On August 30 of that year a deed was made to the church for the property by Surridge and Fisher. In 1873 this church represented in Spring River Association which met with Liberty Church near Biggers, and the minutes state that it was organized that year and had 22 members. In 1879 it was represented in State Line Association by Joseph D. Henderson and J. Manning, with E. Richardson as pastor. J. W. Tyre was clerk and they reported 56 members. A. R. Kirkpatrick was clerk in 1888 and Isham Looney was pastor. They reported only 33 members. In 1903 J. w. Tyre was clerk again and C. A. Fowler was pastor, and it had 56 members. Others who have served as pastor of this church are I. H. Witt, J. C. Diceton, J. A. Allison, I. J. Looney and L. G. Miller. It ceased to represent when State Line Association merged with Current River, and became inactive. The old building is still standing. Bro. S. W. Looney who was moderator of State Line Association from 1910 until 1921 was a member of this church through those years. Hope this helps Ken Jarrett [email protected] >
