The work of tearing away the wooden structure of a Wrightsville landmark has begun. The Baptist church was first built in 1891. The late Stephen McWhorter was contractor and builder and were strongly identified with the church. George Francis was employed in building the church and now has the contract for removing and rebuilding it again for the trustees of Beulah church near Donovan. He with his corps of workmen are now tearing down the church which was once considered the best built in the city. The removal of the steeple and bellfry is about completed.     During its erection some 23 years ago the tragic death of young Davis of Harrison who while attempting to ascend to the top of the steeple by the ropes and pulleys, fell when halfway up and was killed. As soon as the work of removing the building is complete, the erection of the new brick church will begin.
