Century notes on West Main Street Methodist church memory
Seventy five years back only one man, Charles Evans of Fairmont, could recall the brick walls of West Main Street Methodist church being built. Evans, a former janitor turned lay delegate, recalled 1908 General Conference events and two future bishops. The centennial event drew out of town visitors, with readings by Janice Haskins and Frances Tackett, a display cake, and remarks by Dr. Walter Overstreet, as the church celebrated with music and a newly extended social hall.

Switchman Hero Quick Action at Washington Union Terminal
27-year-old switchman Joseph Callow heard a runaway locomotive report over the public address system. He sighted the runaway, flipped a switch, and narrowly averted a collision with a train carrying 200 passengers by eight feet. The runaway struck another train, overturned four empty cars, and the pageant notes extend to a church centennial and Civil War era hospital use with addresses by Professor Ralph C. Brown and Reverend Paul E. Trimpey.
