First
Church and School
in McGehee (1903 - 1905)
The first school in McGehee was started about 1903 in a one room frame
building at this location, with Miss Puntney as teacher. In 1905, in
this building, Reverend J.L. Cannon organized the McGehee First
Methodist Episcopal Church. There were ten charter members. In 1906 a
permanent school building was erected on the northwest corner at Second
and Pine Street. Church services were held in the new school building
until a white frame church building was erected on this site. All
denominations used the church building for services. The Abner McGehee
residence was next door to the church. |
