Boiling Springs Presbyterian Church
[Marker Front]:
This church was organized by Rev.
James H. Thornwell on authority
from Charleston Presbytery; F.J.
and W.A. Hay were its first elders.
By 1846 Rev. Samuel H. Hay preached
on alternate Sundays here and at a
new church in Barnwell; this congregation
soon merged with the new one as
Barnwell Presbyterian Church.
[Marker Reverse]:
In 1896 Rev. F.L. Leeper and Dr.
W.S.Hay, appointed by the Presbytery,
reorganized Boiling Springs as a
seperate congregation with O.B.
Hay and J.M. Gantt as elders and
J.C. Fowke as deacon. The present
sanctuary was built in 1897 by Hay
Gnatt and other members; the
Sunday School building was built in 1955.
