| 2002 | 1896 FRIENDSHIP CASCARA CHURCH CASCARA UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 1982 Infiniti During the late eighteen hundreds, the citizens of Cascara Community thought they had ~ with long travail ~ climbed from the valley of despair to the dawning of a new and happier age. The valley was anticipating new livelyhood in the field of oil and gas production, and the need for more natural gas for industrial use was quite evident. These new developments required additional field hands ~ therefore a boarding house was constructed. The Cascara community was full of religious complexities; at least three different denominations had moved into the area. In 1878 denominations working together formed a special committee to build a church ~ but due to various disagreements ~ nothing was accomplished. In 1887 ~ with Isaac N. Riffee heading the committee ~ a lot was purchased from Mark W. Tate for $25.00 ~ and a deed was drawn up during the year of 1889. The deed was admitted to record December 12, 1893. The community held services at school house #13 sub-district of McClellan, Doddridge County, West Virginia until the school burned. Known teachers at the school were Anne Kile and later ~ Lee Taylor. By the year 1893 the church was everybody's dream. Isaac N. Riffee donated $100.00 to start construction. Labor, lumber and timbers for shingles was donated by various persons. A saw mill in the community was another asset. Thomas S. Chipps was awarded the finishing contract as the lowest bidder! The gold rush to the Klondike wasn't the only event taking place in 1896 ~ since Cascara Friendship Church was dedicated in August of that same year. The first pastor was Rev. T. M. Marble ~ and the district superintendent to dedicate the church was Jeremiah Eagle. Partly due to woman suffrage and customs of those days ~ the church had two doors on one end of the structure ~ one door for men and the other for women. It has been said that the Cascara name came from ~ "casket-carry" ~ since the caskets had to be carried up the hill. The earliest marker in the cemetery dates back to 1833 - thirty years before West Virginia became a state and sixty-three years before the church was dedicated. On each side of the altar was the "Amen" or prayer corners ~ which was occupied by Thomas S. Chipps and Harvey Riffee. Alivia Shinn taught Holly Garner to play the organ. Holly held this position for many years. Other names to occupy the organ stool was Mary McQuaid ~ Silvia Smith ~ Daisy Chipps ~ Cleora Richards ~ ... ~; and today "Rosetta Chipps Pratt" at the piano. Some of the early names of the community were: Hagers ~ Underwoods - Garners - Suttons ~ Tates ~ Hursts - Stark ~ Hutson ~ Starkey ~ Fox ~ Collins ~ Chipps ~ Caytons ~ Gatrell and Taylor. The early church road passed [what] is now the back end of the structure. In 1929 the church was remodeled and moved back away from the new road. During the 1940s the church was remodeled again and a basement was built ~ with Lenval [Lenville] Davis as head carpenter. Since 1940, various improvements and additions have taken place. This history has been collected and oil paintings made in memories of all our forerunners of the past, and for the people of today ~ especially the young people that will be the church of tomorrow. Cascara has gone from oil lamps of the past to electric lights of today ~ Always in God's light! From woman suffrage to quilting parties ~ the women did their part..! January 26, 1982 by Roy L.
