8. Co. Tasley, Va. Anuduy Sicttnnl Moro Thau ut ii ry Old. The first Sunday-school in Acco? mack County, Virginia, was organ? ized by William Elliott, at hU home Ia Bradford's Neck, in The one-hundredth anniversary of Bur? ton-Oak Grove Church was to be celebrated January 13, 1901, and tlie writer of this article, who was chair? man of the Sunda y- school commit? tee, while seeking data for his report on that department of the church work, found the desired information among the manuscripts of Anzele Wallace aud the Rev.
John W. A. Elliott, a daughter and grand? son of William Elliott.whlch are now the property of his great-great graud-daughter, aud especially prized because of the family history they contain. The chronicle sayH that Thomas Elliott was the first of that name to come from England to Accomack County, Virgiuia. He was of highly respected parentage, of ministerial descent, refined, aud weil educated for that day, with a pedigree dating back two hundred years.
Ho sailed, June 17, 1724, on the ship Aogolia, from London to Norfolk; and early on the morning of July 17 the ship was wrecked on Dawson Shoals, off tho coast of Accomack Couuty, but all on board were saved. Well pleased with the place on which he had been accidentally thrown, Thomas Elliott decided to remain, and here his descendants live to this day. He married Miss Anne Wescott of Northampton Couuty, aud their third child and second son, William Elliott, was born October 20, 1754, aud died September 23, 1830. At the age of twenty-two years. William Elliott became a soldier iu the Revolutionary War, fought for American independence, and alwuys claimed tlie right of freedom, both politically and religiously.
He mar? ried Anzele Bradford, a lineal des? cendant of the first Bradford, who came to Virginia from England prior to 1063 He was converted by Methodist missionaries several years before the establishment of the Methodist Episcopal Church in his native county, which was organized in 1784. Mr. Elliott considered slavery morally wrong, aud when? ever he bought a slave it was with the understanding that, when the purchase money had been worked out at regular wages, tbe servant should be free; consequently, most of his "help" was white men aud boys For this reason, he waB closely associated with a large number of poor boys who were reared in his family, In a Christian home, where God was honored and revered, aud were taught to read the Scriptures. In order to teach them, Mr. Elliott organized a Sunday-school, which met every Sunday afternoon, and in? structed the boys in his charge, aud also the children of hit neighbors, in the rudiments of reading, so they might be able to read God's Word.
This Sunday-School was regularly conducted at his home for many years. After the organization of Methodism, and the founding of Bur ton Church, Mr. Elliott united with it, and some years later the school was brought there under his super? intendency. The Sunday-school was held in this church until it was re? placed by a new and larger building io Is 18, iu which the same school was continued until 1870, when the church was burned. Then the present house of worship was erycted, and the orig? inal school, through the vicissitudes of more than a century, lives to this day, and is nourishing in every de purtment of its work.
The course of study in the early Sunday-school was, first, teaching the child to read. After he had ad? vanced sufficiently, the Catechism was studied, and, later on, Bible reading by the class, with explana? tions and comments by the teacher. This course continued until when the interdenominational sys? tem was adopted, and still remains in use During the more than a century's existence of this Sunday-school there have been but nine superintendents, all prominent in church and secular work. William Elliott carried on the work until incapacitated by age, Joshua Burton succeeded him, and, beginning with 1840, James R. Garrison served for twenty years.
John R. Kellam came next, then George B. Mapp, and Teackle T. Wescott followed with Leonard C. Mears as his successor.
Afterward, L. James Hyslup served until 1897 when W. Fisher Mears, the present incumbent was elected. One of these became an ordained Christian minis? ter, another served In the State legis? lature, the others were, or still are, prominent men in the county. As time parsed and population in? creased, another school, an offshoot from the original one, was organized in a schoolhouse at the head of Brad? ford's Neck.
From this two churches, a Methodist and a sprung, both of which have flourish? ing Sunday-schools. Another was or? ganized at the head of Upshur's Neck, in a house ten by twelve feet. This has developed into an organized church with a prosperous Sunday school. These are but a little of the streams of influence that have broad? ened and deepened in the last one hundred years. From the first ex? ample of child training in the scrip? tural truth others have followed un? til now, even in this depth and breadth cannot be estimated.
Within this first Sunday-school seven ministers have been trained. Eight physicians and eight lawyers bave beeu instructed and reared within its pale. The older ones have become well known ai judges and legislators both in state and nation, the younger ones bid fair to keep pace with their predecessors. Living in his quiet home in an isolated part of the state and of the county, at a time when communica? tion with the outer world was rare and meager, it is highly probable that William Elliott had never heard of Robert Raikes and his work In far-away England, when he organ lzed that Sunday-school In his Vir? ginia home in 1785, for the benefit and Instruction of the poor children committed to his care, for the child? ren of his less fortunate neighbors, and for the Bake of his own little ones. His was the first Sunday school in Accomack County, Vir? ginia, and, so far as known, the oldest Sunday-school having a con? tinued existence on the American continent.
It is alive, working, aud influencing the community and world for good to-day, it has been a constant and unceasing source of good for a hundred and sixteen years, and is likely to continue in? definitely. L. J. Hyelup, Keller, Va. Death of Orlu F.
Taylor, The death of Orin F. Taylor at the Virginia Hospital iu Richmond Fri? day, April 25, came a shock to his many friends. Only on Tuesday be? fore he was carried to the Hospital to be operated upon for au acute at? tack of appendicitis. At six o'clock in the afternoon the end came and the scene that followed at his home, In Richmond, with his uncle. Mr.
Edgar East Frankllu Street, was most touching. Grief stricken friends, who seemed almost number? less, crowded the parlors and min? gled their tears with those of his family. Mr. Taylor was a son of the late C. T.
Taylor, of Accomack, and was 22 years of age. His home was Onanco*ck but for three years he has been with the America Tobacco Company in Richmond where he made a marked success in business, aud li is firm Was about to promate him to a higher position. He had long been a mem? ber of the Makemie Presbyterian lately changed his mem? bership to the Second Church in Richmond, where he was loved by all who knew his cherry smile. Cut ott in tho morning of a great career, with happiness aud love staring liim in the face; the future beckoning to him with a smile. Besides being endowed with a sympathetic manner and a happy faculty making friends, he also possessed the highest principles of honor and noble manhood.
Few young meu were more popular, and few lived a purer life. Standing upon the threshold of a great life, full of promise for the realization of all those blessings and aspirations that fill a wise man's it seems to us, called upon to give up his life, yet he met his fate like a hero and a Christian. After an impressive service con? ducted by Dr. Russell Cecil at his late Richmond home on Saturday his remains were bro ght to Acco? mack, accompanied by his family, Mr. aud Mrs.
Edgar Taylor and sev-1 eral friends from Richmond. On Sun? day final funeral services were held in Onauco*ck and tbe remains inter? red in the Poulson burying-grouud on Onanco*ck creek.
