Excerpt from Past and Present of Shelby County, Iowa, Vol. 2Mr. Lewis concluded his services with the church early in 1888. And the pulpit was not regularly supplied until the call of Rev. J. H. Carpenter, who began his work June 1. 1888. And was installed July 10, 1889. Mr. Carpenter remained the leader of the church until July 27, 1895, this being the longest that any minister has been pastor of this church.On the first of January, 1896, Rev. Albert Aston became the pastor in charge, and continued until. January I, 1901. Exactly five years. During his ministry the church made the greatest growth it had made up to that time. The seed that had been faithfully sown was bringing forth its fruit. During the seven years following the work of Mr. Aston the church was served by Rev. W'alter Irwin, May I. 1901, to November 1, 1903, Rev. Thomas Leard, January 1904. To February 25, 1906, and Rev. R. S. May 1, 1906, to August 1, 1908.Rev. 7. B. Lampe first supplied Shelby about four months during the summer of 1909. And returned as pastor on September I, 1910. -\t that time there were ninety-eight active members on the roll. The attendance at the services of the church gradually increased. And soon a movement was started by the Young Ladies' Guild to remodel the church and build on an addition. During the winters of 1910 and 1911 this organization worked hard, and finally had seven hundred dollars as a start for this project. At a meeting of the church in the following spring the trustees were authorized to canvass the members of the church for subscriptions. And so liberal was the response to their active efforts that it was decided to start the work at once. The fact that the project was carried through and the building occupied by October 1 was due to the untiring efforts of the pastor and.the efficient board of trustees. Rev. Lampe resigned August 1, 1913.Rev. O. C. Carden has been with the church since December 1, 1913, being ordained and installed as pastor May 5. 1914, on graduating from the Omaha Theological Seminary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
