The church building has been much improved and now presents a neat and attractive appearance inside. A beautiful memorial window, of stained cathedral glass, circular in form, has been presented to the Parish by Mrs. P. B. Key, “in memoriam” of a deceased relative; its place is in the end of the Chancel. A “Church Guild” has recently been organized with the promise, under God, of much usefulness, and the Rector’s heart has been cheered and he feels encouraged. Monthly services were held at Troutman’s Station and at the Alms-house when the roads and weather would permit; also in the county jail several times.
