John P. Cable Mill – Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA In Cades Cove there were few sources of power which the frontiersman knew how to harness. One of those power sources was the water wheel such as drove the early grist mills. Cable Mill is one of those. The Smoky Mountains Natural History Association keeps Cable Mill running in Cades Cove to teach the Smoky Mountain visitor a little about life in the 1800’s. The mill is operated April-October. A handful of enterprising residents in Cades Cove built water driven mills to grind grain. Their hope was that other Cades Cove families would prefer paying them to grind the grain rather than to struggle with the small inefficient tub mills at home. The tub mills were only capable of processing a bushel of corn each day. The entrepreneurs were correct and ran fine business in Cades Cove as a result. Cornmeal was the only grain that could be ground in the tub mills and so the waterwheel driven mills that could grind wheat into flour was a welcome addition to the cove. Now biscuits could be eaten some of the time instead of cornbread. Payment for grinding grain did not always mean money exchanged hands in Cades Cove. Sometimes money was paid but other times the miller was paid a portion of the resulting flour or meal. Besides John Cable, his son and also Frederick Shields operated mills. Cable and Shields took double advantage of their waterwheel by using it to power saw mills as well. Cable was the only person in Cades Cove to use the overshot water wheel. Like most business men in the Cove, Cable was also a farmer. He could be summoned from the fields by a large bell he had on the property for that purpose.

Jesus is the Light of the World. Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” John 8:12. The Cades Cove Methodist Church was constructed in 1902. Methodists were active in the cove as early as the 1820s, and built their first meeting house in 1840. The church was rebuilt in 1920, this is the one that remains in the cove today. The light pouring into the window provides a view of the cemetery from a church pew. There are not many records of the early Methodist Church. The Cades Cove Methodist Church is included among those of the Holston Conference’s Little River Circuit in 1830. The present church building was built by Rev. John E. McCampbell in 115 days for $115. It had two doors and a physical divider to separate males and females. The cemetery contains at least 100 graves and is the second oldest church cemetery in the Cove. Methodists were not as dominant as Baptists in the Cove, but they served the community well. The Civil War and Reconstruction divided the members and dissidents formed the Hopewell Methodist Church on the opposite side of the Cove, which no longer stands.

This is the resting place of many great pioneers of Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park Cades Cove Methodist Church and Churchyard Cemetery In the spirit of Cades Cove, a blacksmith who lived in the cave named JD McCambell built this Cades Cove Methodist church in 1902 in 115 days for only $115. later on Mr Mccambell went on to become minister for this church. There were far more Baptist who lived in the cades cove than Methodist but there were enough to form a Methodist congregation in the 1820s. The original church which stood here was a simple log building with a firepit and a dirt floor. A interesting note about the construction of this church is the fact that it used building plans from another church that separated the congregation by men and women. This is why there are one small door on each side of the church rather than one large door in the center which clearly shows in the picture of the church on this page. Also, it is very interesting how this huge building is just balanced on a few local rocks. The graves in this cemetery date back to its first, Feezell, Sarah J. 1826 to more recent ones dated 2007. Death was often communicated to the Cades Cove community through the tolling of the church bell, each mournful toll signifying one year of life. Cove residents could generally identify the deceased through this method and would respond appropriately to assist the grieving family in preparation of the body for burial, to build the coffin, to assure appropriate dress, to provide food or essential farm labor, and to “sit with the dead”. Oftentimes, dependent on the season of death, paper flowers were lovingly made to decorate the burial plot. These were “neighbors” in the truest sense. Sirnames found in this churchyard include: Abbott, Chambers, Craig, Feezell, Gregory, Hill, Hodge, Lawson, Lemons, LeQuire, McCauley, Moore, Myers, Peacock, Sands, Seaton, Shields, Shuler, Snodgrass, Sparks, Tipton, Williams and Wilson.

This church was organized in the 1820s with services held in a log building until the building of this structure. The Methodists were not as numerous as the dominant Baptists here, and often depended on a circuit riding preacher. Another church, Hopewell Methodist, is marked only by a cemetery today was across the cove. The Civil War caused division in the church so several started going to Hopewell. In 1902 this structure and its furnishings were reportedly the work of one man. J. D. McCampbell, a blacksmith and carpenter, built it in 115 days of $115. Afterward, he became its preacher for many years. The two doors are a result of the plans used to build this structure. In some churches ladies and children entered through the left door, and men through the right one. A divider separated the two groups, causing frustration among courting couples. They are no indication they practiced this separation here.

I will always remember this building fondly … as I walked past its doors on many many occasions from a boy … sadly its now gone … demolished due to the timbers having dry rot … what a shame! ... surely it could have been saved … another piece of our heritage gone forever. Ah well at least I have this and other snaps to remember it. Saint Nicholas’s Church spire can be seen on the right hand side of this photo … that is my own church ... Curch of Ireland! ... one of the oldest churches in Co.Antrim.

“Lift Thine Eyes” has been featured by the group “Smoky Mountain Masterpieces” 7/08. The Methodist Church, Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA A steeple points one to the heavens, symbol of the dwelling place of Christ. Through city streets, across the valleys and lakes, through the countryside far and wide, the steeple declares Christ. I lift up my eyes to the hills / where does my help come from? / My help comes from the LORD, / the Maker of heaven and earth. / Psalm 121:1-2 NIV Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed {the food,} and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples {gave them} to the crowds… / Matthew 14:19 NAS We lift up our heart and hands Toward God in heaven; / Lamentations 3:41 The spire originated in the twelfth century, but America’s steeples are decended from those designed by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London in 1666. The fire began early on September 2, not far from the famed London Bridge, and spread quickly, overtaking everything in its path. Over four days the conflagration destroyed most of the city. Many famous buildings, including St. Paul’s Cathedral and 86 other churches (not to mention more than 13,000 homes), were destroyed, and the city smoldered for months. The task of rebuilding many of these houses of worship fell to Wren, a young architect. Noted for his Oxford background as a mathematician and astronomer, Wren was commissioned by King Charles II to rebuild St. Paul’s Cathedral. In his design of St. Paul’s and about 50 other city churches he included steeples, leading men and women to turn their gaze toward God in his heavens. Wren’s simple, straightforward treatment of the steeple quickly caught on. They were increasingly found on American churches, often with bells built in the tops. These bells served dual purposes, calling worshipers to services and summoning citizens for special announcements or emergencies. Early American steeples were usually made of wood. Today most congregations have replaced their wooden steeples, which were showing the effects of time and weather, with beautifully designed steeples made from lightweight fiberglass or metal. In terms of size and shape, steeples are as varied as the church buildings they accentuate. But even in their variety, steeples still serve their traditional purpose—to guide people’s eyes toward the heavens, to God himself.

The church house in the early days not only served as a place of worship but of a gathering place for the community. It was a place to meet and get caught up on the area happenings or for singles to meet possible mates. In many areas it would serve as a school a few months a year. In 1902 this structure and its furnishings were reportedly the work of one man. J. D. McCampbell, a blacksmith and carpenter, built it in 115 days of $115.

At the Church Street United Methodist Church / Knoxville, Tennessee ! Church Street United Methodist Church – Historical Timeline 1816 / The direct predecessor to Church Street UMC – White’s Chapel—is built on East Hill Avenue as the first Methodist church in the city of Knoxville, 13 years after the first Methodist church in Knox County is formed. The 1816 church initially had 68 members. 1836 / A new church building on Church Street (later Church Avenue) is completed. 1861-65 / During the Civil War, the church is used as a hospital and as a stable. A split between church members over the war also results in some joining the Northern branch of the Methodist church and forming the separate First Methodist Church. Church Street Methodist remains with the Southern branch of the church. 1871 / The church is officially called Church Street Methodist for the first time by order of Holston Conference. It had formerly been known as the Methodist Church in Knoxville. 1874 / After a court battle over whether Church Street Methodist or First Methodist owned the church property, Church Street is given ownership again. 1878 / A new church structure is built on the north side of West Church Street (Avenue), halfway between Market Street and Walnut Street. 1892 / A three-story parsonage is erected next to the 1878 church. 1928 / On Feb. 19, the church is destroyed by a fire, which breaks out at the close of the Sunday night service. While a new structure is planned and constructed a short distance away on Henley Street, the church members hold worship services in the Lyric Theater and later the Riviera Theater. Sunday school is held at several downtown buildings, including the YWCA Building, the Lyceum Building and the Masonic Temple. 1930 / In a love triangle case that captures major headlines in Knoxville, general contractor Harry Gervin is shot and kllled on May 16 on the grounds of the under-construction church. Eugene Blanchard is immediately arrested. 1931 / On Jan. 28, the opening service is held for Church Street’s new stone Gothic structure, which includes a sanctuary and education wing. It had been designed collaboratively by church member Charles Barber and the well-known New York firm of John Russell Pope, whose work also included the Jefferson Memorial and the National Archives in Washington, D.C. The beauty of the church would draw much praise, and President Franklin Roosevelt reportedly once called it during a visit to Knoxville the prettiest church he had ever seen. 1941 / The first of the stained-glass windows designed by noted artisan Charles J. Connick of Boston is dedicated behind the altar. Over the next several years, Connick windows are installed throughout the sanctuary and paid for by individual church members as memorial or honorary gifts. 1953 / After Church Street Church overcomes nearly losing title to its building during the tight financial times of the Great Depression, the note on the structure is finally paid off and dedication services and activities are held Nov. 15-22. 1963 / The education building on the southwest end of the church is completed and dedicated with a cornerstone ceremony on Easter Sunday 1964. Also, Miss Bess Platt retires as church organist and choir director after 41 years. 1966 / The church’s new Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ is dedicated. It would be repaired, rebuilt and expanded in subsequent years. The first organ in the Henley and Main facility was a Pilcher, while a Moller organ had been in the church that burned to the ground in 1928. 1968 / Construction begins on the church’s Sterchi Lodge on Rich Mountain alongside the Tennessee-North Carolina border. Built on property given to the church by Nathan and Allene Jones, the lodge was originally named for Bishop Francis Asbury but was later renamed in memory of John W. Sterchi, who had died in 1968 in Florida. Also during the year, Church Street Methodist becomes Church Street United Methodist Church after the Evangelical and United Brethren Church and the Methodist Church join together. 1969 / The church opens a child day care center. 1971 / Church Street UMC hosts the Holston Annual Conference for the last time before Lake Junaluska, N.C., becomes the regular site. Previous times the church hosted the gathering at Henley and Main were 1933, 1942, 1944, 1950, 1957, and 1966. 1982 / Church Street UMC is heavily involved in the nearby 1982 World’s Fair by offering parking, tours of the church and other activities. The church also begins its “Rejoice!” TV ministry and its Singles’ Ministry, one of the first in the nation. 1984 / Church Street begins a soup kitchen meal ministry to the homeless and marginalized on Sept. 27. 1989 / The Church Life Center on the northwest end of the church complex is opened. Also opening inside the new facility is the Kay Senior Care Center. 1991 / An April 9 arson fire that starts in the stage area of the Parish Hall damages the church and forces services to be held in the Church Life Center gym for several months. 1996 / Church Street UMC launches its first website. 1997 / The first annual “Walk through Bethlehem” event is held. Open to the entire community, this event recreates the village of Bethlehem as it might have been the night Jesus was born. 2001 / During Lent, Church Street unveiled its new canvas Labyrinth. During the same time, the Mini-Messenger was created as a brief, reminder page given out on Sundays in the Sunday School packets. 2006 / The church celebrates the 75th anniversary of its facility at Henley and Main streets with special services and activities throughout the year. At the end of the year, some bells originally cast at the Paccard Bell Foundry in France are installed in the church tower. 2008 / Jim Rogers retires as organist and choirmaster after 29 years of service.
