I don't know when the first school was organized at Glensfork. The earliest building I know about stood between the present homes of Ed Lee Grider and Mrs. Annie Mary Grant. The next oldest building, so far as I know, stood between the present Methodist Church grounds and a small branch. This lot is now owned by the widow of Tom Grant. School was held there as early as 1884. The last term of school there was in 1912. This land was given by Ghira Wesley, grandfather of Virgil Wesley, of Columbia. On May 2, 1912 W. L. Brockman and wife, Anna B. Brockman, deeded the county one acre and fourteen square poles for $20. The lot was used by the Church of the Nazarene from 1929-1948. Miss Mae Upton taught the first term of school here in 1912. Mrs. Carrie B. Bolin taught the last term there between July 1927 and January 1928.On November 17, 1890 the Taylor's Chapel Church property was sold to Joseph Potts for $70.00. The proceeds were put in the parsonage at Columbia. In 1880 a church building was built on present church grounds. October 24, 1881 Ghira and Samantha Wesley deeded the ground on which the present building stands. The church paid $15 for the land which consists of 1/2 acres and 16 poles. The deed was made after the church was built because the deeds states "being the same upon the church house now stands". I presume this Methodist Church was M. E. Church, South. However, the deed states M. E. church at Glenville. [source4071145948] KNF9-MGP FamilySearch.org, (Publication Date: 25 FEB 2023 Media: Website / URL).
