1946 Six Lovely Halls In Piedmont Section Of North Carolina history
[Letters of Interest]] in July 1946 had the following article, on the founding of six assemblies in North Carolina including this one. See the above link for the full article.
"The work here was begun about twenty years ago by Sam McEwen and W.G. Smith. In 1931 Lester Wilson located there and spent three years in the area. On June 11, 1939 the above Hall was opened. Today there is a fine assembly in Raleigh with over seventy-five in fellowship. Local gift is the best of the meetings in this section. The Raleigh brethren are capable and active.
They have good gospel meetings on Sunday night with strangers constantly coming and quite frequently souls are saved through these brethren. The Raleigh Sunday School is a credit to them with an attendance of 150 or more. There is a branch work at Six Forks, 9 miles away opened up by Lester Wilson in 1932. They remember the Lord and have a nice Sunday school."
