Memorial Church Fund Grows From Five Cents to Five Hundred
A reminiscence recalls Miss Annie Fetzer who died in 1898 and left a five cent gift that inspired a fundraising effort. Starting with a nickel, a “Talent Fund” raised to $26.44 by 1899 and culminated in a $500 Memorial Church Building Fund plan for Winchester. The tale highlights faith, benevolence, and community action.
