Passing of the Old Me Church in Westfield
The old First Methodist church built in 1877 in Westfield will be demolished within days. Residents who aided in the building’s erection recall its history as the third Methodist structure and note the site’s use for Sunday School and social events until coal conservation led to abandonment. Meat prices rise but Woolraff's Market offers strictly fresh fish and a weekly special on new potatoes.
