Since Rev. Robert W. Core arrived at the First Methodist church the congregation has expanded activity. A new church costing 130000 has been conducted and programs are held nightly this week. The building at Washington and 10th Streets was founded in 1838 with completion later. Core’s building committee includes Henry Legg as chairman and others from Butler and Lockport. He is a Hendrix College graduate with studies at Southern Methodist University and the University of Arkansas, living at 1010 Washington Street with wife Falba Arlene and daughters Falba Anne and Roberta Lynne.
