Abstract:

An excerpt from the Wilmington Journal gave an extensive description of the fires that destroyed Front Street Methodist Episcopal Church in 1886 and Grace Methodist Church in 1947. Despite the destruction, most of the records stored in the churches were preserved. The records include documents of the founding of the church, mission records, membership lists, birth and death records.
