Abstract:
Between 1925 and 1931, two “chapel trains” operated by the Catholic Church in North Carolina traveled through the state proselytizing. The trains operated as literal Catholic churches on wheels, complete with pews, an altar, an organ, and a sanctuary. One of the trains stopped in Morehead City in 1926 and 1928. The priest on board, Father Egbert Albert, left a lasting impression on the town’s residents. Following his death, the Morehead City Catholic Church was built in his memory.

Abstract:
The Hunting Quarters Primitive Baptist Church was first organized in Hunting Quarters Township in 1829. Constructed at Nelson Bay, the Meeting House welcomed members of the Congregation from Portsmouth Island, Cedar Island, Atlantic, and Davis Shore. Following the Civil War, the community relocated to the town of Atlantic. When the building was destroyed in 1918 by a tornado, it was rebuilt further down the road. The congregation continued to meet until the 1960s, however it was a community in decline. In 2006, the Meeting House remained in poor condition. Thanks to efforts from local historians and community members, however, the structure has been repaired and is currently used for history meetings.

Abstract:
First organized in 1790, Hadnot Creek Primitive Baptist Church is Carteret County’s oldest church society in continuous service. The building, located on Highway 58, was erected in 1815 for the congregation. Constructed from pine and other local tree species, many elements of initial construction can be seen in the Church’s interior. Today, services are only held twice a year to commemorate the first congregation. There is an ongoing effort in the community to restore the grounds and Church to their 1815 condition.

Abstract:
The second in a series of three articles, this segment addresses the life of Daniel Reid between February and April, 1896. Daily diary entries from Reid provide insight into clerical duties and family life outside of the Church. As a local Methodist minister, Reid was required to travel locally for work and his writing documents many interactions with local communities. Due to their location in southeast North Carolina, Reid and his family also dealt extensively with malaria which is an on-going theme in the accounts.

Abstract:
While a Methodist chapel pre-dated the establishment of Morehead City, it was razed during the Civil War. The first Methodist Episcopal Church was built in 1884 to replace the chapel. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the congregation grew and required further infrastructure including a meeting room, kitchen, and classrooms. In 1960, the educational building was again expanded with the addition of a new wing. The congregation celebrated its 200th anniversary in January 1998 and continues to thrive in Morehead City.
