SC29 Olive L. Hoggins Papers (Centenary History of the Churches) Finding Aid
-
Description
-
This collection of the personal files of Olive Hoggins contains correspondence, photographs, newspaper clippings, edited versions of congregational histories, ephemera, etc. Most of the denominational history pertains to Kansas City, although some Independence and other area churches are included. Research materials consist primarily of photocopies of newspaper articles; publications from individual churches; as well as programs and other documents. The photos consist of pictures of church buildings, as well as over 100 portraits of clergymen. It appears that the Missouri Valley Historical Society sponsored this work, starting in the early 1920s. Olive Hoggins was the compiler and writer, probably intending to publish a book, but the material seems never to have been issued in book form and was only published in the Saturday church page of the Kansas City Post, appearing between 1927 and 1930.

Methodist Church

Description
-
William Miles Chick, in his new home built in 1845, held a meeting to consider the organization of a church, with the Reverend James Porter, a local Methodist minister, in charge of the meeting. On a Sunday following this meeting, the Reverend James Porter preached under the shade of some trees near the corner of Missouri Avenue and Walnut Street. At the close of the sermon he requested all who desired to become members of a Methodist Church to come over and sit on a certain log. Those who sat on the log were William Miles Chick, Mrs. Ann Eliza Chick, Mr. & Mrs. James Hickman, Mrs. William Smith, and Mrs. James Porter. That day was organized the Methodist Episcopal Church, south of the Town of Kansas, the first Protestant church in the city. From the Kansas City Journal-Post, June 23, 1928.
