We have preserved "Miss Vera's" history in the same format she used when she wrote it, covering our church's first 104 years - 1856-1960. Her writing reflects not only the church's chronological history but many ofthe social mores ofthe time. Virginia "Ginny"Fick Ginny Fick has tirelessly researched the modern history ofour church and her entry reflects the growth and change Wesley Memorial and society in general have experienced over the last 46 years - much the same way Miss Vera's history reflects the character ofthose early years. Both in their own distinct styles have captured the 150 years offaith and fellowship Miss E. VeraIdol that have evolved into the Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church oftoday.
