Trying to Oust Their Pastor

New York, 1895

The troubles of the Huntington African M. E. Church will probably end in the disbandment of the organization. The members are just now protesting against the re-appointment of Rev. J. D. Jackson for another two years. Rev. Mr. Jackson came to the church some time ago to fill the place of Rev. Mr. Taggart, who ran off with $300 of the church money.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, May 3, 1895, p. 1.
