Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Second Presbyterian Church of Troy, N. Y: Historical Sketch Prepared and Read at the Reopening of the Auditorium, October 3, 1915 Although somewhat more than a decade remains until the rounding out of the century mark of the organization of the Second Presbyterian Church of Troy, it has been deemed advisable by the session to take advantage of the occasion of re-entering the auditorium for worship, after an absence of three months, made necessary by somewhat extensive repairs, improvements and renovation thereof, by preparing and presenting a historical sketch of the church covering its nearly ninety years of life and activities. In its preparation the writer has been very largely informed as to its early history by the historical discourse given by a former pastor. Rev. Dr. William Irvin, on the occasion of the semi-centennial of the church in July, 1876, remembered by many who are still members of the church and congregation; and to him I am very largely indebted for many of the facts of the first fifty years of this church´s history. Some embarrassment as to historical accuracy still exists as to many early events by reason of the destruction of a part of our first church records by the great fire which swept over the city in 1862, destroying our first house of worship and the residences and homes of many of the members. Fortunately the original register of membership has been preserved and we are thus able to state with accuracy the list of the original fifty members, all of whom came upon certificate from other churches. The Roll of Charter Members. There were forty-five from the First Presbyterian Church of Troy, three from the Presbyterian Church of Stillwater, one from the Presbyterian Church of Lansingburgh, and one from the Reformed Dutch Church of Union Village, Washington County, N.
