Author Description

Excerpt from History of the Middle Spring Presbyterian Church, Middle Spring, Pa;, 1738-1900 It was the desire of my husband, Gilbert E. Swope, author of A History of the Big Spring Presbyterian Church, that I should publish the data he collected regarding the Middle Spring congregation, arranging the records according to the plan be outlined, thus completing, what to him was a labor of love. I have endeavored to carry out his wishes as nearly as possible, and it has been a pleasure to follow the guidance of one, who, though talented and successful in literary pursuits, willingly laid aside his pen, at a time when his career seemed brightest, reposing in me the confidence, that his cherished work would not fail of completion.
