First Presbyterian Church
Plans Observance of 50th
Anniversary Here Sunday
Shortly after the turn of the
century, on May 18, 1903, twenty-
seven persons of Presbyterian
faith met in the Langford lum
ber company’s yard in Celina and
organized a church—the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church of Ce-
lina.
Next Sunday, members of that
church, including three who were
on hand that day in May, 1903,
will observe the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the church, which has
since become the First Presbyte-
rian Church, U.S.A., following the
union of the Cumberland and Pres-
byterian U. S. A., churches in 1907.
The three charter members who
are still members of the church are
Rhea Gossett, Mrs. Tom Short, and
Mrs. Ollie Bounds.
The story of the church’s strug-
gles and of its emergence as one
of Celina’s institutions is told in a
booklet published by the church on
the occasion of its anniversary
celebration. The congregation did
not meet for long in the lumber-
yard. For a time it used the Celina
school building as a meeting place,
and in 1905 erected its own build-
ing, a frame structure, which was
paid out of debt in the fall of 1910.
In 1912, the church built a resi-
dence for its preacher. This build-
ing, an attractive home just across
the street from the church build-
ing, still stands. The old frame
church building was replaced in
1923 by the present brick struc-
ture, which cost the congregation
$12,000.00. The notes on this build-
ing were paid off in January, 1936,
Through the years, improvements
such as stained-glass windows,
new furniture, and an organ have
been added.
The church has been character-
ized through its history by a pro-
cession of pastors who possessed
the scholarly mind typical of many
Presbyterian preachers. Among
those who will be remembered by
Celinaites of later years are Rev.
J. L. Cleveland, who served per-
haps longer than any other, from
1910 to 1917, and again from 1943
to 1949; the late Rev. Alexander
McFerran, an Ulster Irishman who
preached in the church from 1940
to 1942, and Dr. E. O. Whitwell,
whose term was from 1938 to 1940.
Another is the late Rev. R. B.
Evans, who served the church
from 1931 until he died in 1938.
The present pastor, the Rev C.
W. Newbill, came here on Septem-
ber 24, 1950. A graduate of Trin-
ity University and of Yale school
of Divinity, the young preacher
has guided his church in further
growth and service to the commun-
ity since he came to Celina. He is
currently serving as president of
the Celina Booster club. A talented
musician, Newbill while in Yale
played in the New Haven sym-
phony orchestra.
The anniversary program next
Sunday, which is expected to at-
tract many former members and
old friends of the church, will be
featured by an address at 2:00
p. m. by Dr. J. Hoyt Boles of Den-
ton, executive of the Synod of
Texas. Mrs. G. W. Robinson of
Dallas, a daughter of one of the
charter members, will sing, and
Mrs. M. W. Graham, church organ-
ist, will play.
MRS. TOM SHORT, RHEA GOSSETT, and MRS. OLLIE
BOUNDS, charter members of the First Presbyterian
Church of Celina, are the only charter members who
still live in Celina and remain members of the church
The church celebrates its fiftieth anniversary Sunday!

Church Is Named for
Former Celina Pastor
A well-loved ex-Celina pastor
has had a church named for him.
This is the news The Record
learned last week when the Rev.
W. J. Epting of Sherman, long-
time pastor of the First Baptist
Church of Celina, called at The
Record office while on a visit in
Celina. Sixteen months ago he
started preaching in Southeast
Denison in a mission under the
Calvary Baptist church, Denison.
The flock then numbered 16. Last
month the mission became £f full-
fldged church with 72 members,
and the ex-Celina preacher turned
it over to a full-time pastor.
“Epting Memorial Baptist
Church,” was the name chosen by
the new church.
Since Rev. and Mrs. Epting
moved to Sherman, Mr. Epting
has been serving as a supply
preacher in various localities. He
is now serving as supply pastor
in a church at Savoy.
