100 Years Ago

Herald of March 3, 1922

The Morrisons Cove Memorial Church of the Brethren dedicated their newly erected church edifice in Martinsburg to the memory of the pioneer Christian men and women of the church. More than 800 people from all sections of the Cove and various parts of the state attended the service. Elder M.C. Swigart of Philadelphia delivered the dedicatory message. The dedicatory prayer was offered by Elder J. W. Swigart of Huntingdon. Andrew McGraw was the chief carpenter in charge of the construction work. The building stood on the site of the old church that was razed the previous year to make way for the new building.

Mr. Shoop, Erecting Engineer of the Greenwood Electric Supply Co. of Pittsburgh, was expected to arrive shortly to install equipment for the new ice plant. Mr. Kline of Pittsburgh was nearing completion of the refrigerating room. It was said to be one of the finest equipped plants in the state.
