=History===1946 Letters of Interest==The article is titled ''Six Lovely Halls In Piedmont Section of North Carolina'' chronicling the founding of the assemblies in Raleigh, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Burlington, Siler City & Durham. "In Oct. 1943, Mr. Wilson held his first series in Siler City. A temporary tabernacle was built and God saved a number of fine souls. Some nice Christians seeing the unscripturalness of sectarianism, and having heard brother Wilson over the radio urged him to come to Siler City, gave the work an early start by their solid testimony. After another series, Breaking of Bread started. Bro. Frank Detweiler assisted in these meetings by leading the singing and later he and brother Bousfield had a series out in the country in a tent, and some were saved. Bro. Bousfield also had a series alone later and two or three more got saved. Bro. Mackay had a series on the Tabernacle. On April 7th of this year, the above fine new brick building was opened, followed by a series of meetings by Mr. Wilson, assisted by Welcome Detweiler in the song service. There are about fifty Christians in Siler City who carry on a nice Sunday school work. Bro. Bousfield is now helping to care for this work." =Also See=*[[Visiting Ministry at Siler City Chapel, NC]] conference reports, etc.* [[Who's Who at Siler City Chapel, NC]] notable alumni* see [http://silercitychapel.com/ SCC's website]*[[Six Lovely Halls In Piedmont Section Of North Carolina LOI 1946-7]]* Siler City is the home Letters of Frances "Aunt Bee" Bavier Interest (LOI) 1946-7 =Sources=* [[Letters of ''Interest]]: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Andy_Griffith_Show The Andy Griffith ShowLOI 1946]]* OB AAB''s 1927-1959
