Lisman News; Mrs. Claude
Price, Correspondent.
The 150th anniversary of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church was observed Saturday night here at the community center and was well attended.
The history of the church was given by Mrs. Bryan
Blankenship. Mrs. Sallie
Miller gave some interesting information on the birthday of the church in
Dickson County, Tenn. in 1810.
A huge birthday cake was baked and beautifully decorated by one of the members, Mrs. Hallie
Powell. A log cabin was made by two small boys, Bobbie
Winstead and Tommy
Cole, resembling the first one used by the denomination at
Dickson County, Tenn.
The
Shiloh Church at
Lisman was organized under a shed in 1843 and in 1848 was replaced by a log structure. In 1860 a new frame building was erected. The present church was built in 1903. **
