Bethlehem Church in the Loop, Russell County, Virginia, 1854

The following scraps of paper have come down through my family since their creation in 1854.  However, none of my direct ancestors appear on these pages, so it's a mystery to me.

A book for the Society at Bethlehem meeting-house in the Loop.
J. Haskew P. E. [Presiding Elder]
A. F. Shannon P. C. [Preacher in Charge]

A. D. 1854

N. B. The friday before each Quarterly Meeting is set apart as a day of fasting and prayer for the prosperity of Zion and success of the ministry.
