Jasper County Historical Society To Dedicate Methodist Woman's Historical Marker

Trinity United Methodist Church and the Jasper County Historical Society are holding a dedication and celebration of a Methodist historical site on Sunday, August 24 at 1 pm Central at the Brushwood United Methodist Church. The historical marker will be placed at the Sandridge Cemetery, which is the burial place for The Rev. Helenor M. Alter Davisson (1823-1876) - when she was ordained in 1866 she was the first female to be ordained in any of the denominations that today comprise the United Methodist Church.
