| Description : | Black and white photograph of the United Church and Manse in Peace River. This picture shows the Manse in its original spot, so the picture was taken sometime between 1925 when they moved into the building and 1950 when the Manse was relocated. |
| Commentaires : | St. Paul's United Church in Peace River started in 1914 when Mr. George Misener, a Methodist layman erected a tent on Main Street. From there it was moved to Main Avenue and Third Street and Reverend Jones started officiating. After that Reverend Graham started holding services in the Empire Theatre and the congregation became known as the Knox Presbyterian Church. When fire took the theatre they started holding services in the Dominion Government Land Office Building. In the mid summer of 1916, the Methodist and Presbyterian churches decided to join together and were to be led by Reverend Frank Adams of the Congregational Church. The union officially happened in 1917 and services were to be held in Waldref Hall and later Orange Hall. In 1925 when the United Church of Canada was formed, Peace River's congregation became known as St. Paul's United Church and services were to be held in the building formerly owned by Revillon Freres. in 1928 they started renovating the building. In 1950 the Manse was relocated (Peace River Remembers, p. 38). This donation of postcards and photographs was donated by Ernie Skip, who acquired them from a Mrs. MacRae, thought to be Pearl MacRae. Pearl Hazzard married Wilson MacRae and they had an adopted daughter, Greta MacRae, now Greta Picard (2010). Wilson was the post master in Peace River. It is thought to be Pearl MacRae because she lived only a few doors down from Mr. Skip, one of the postcards has the name Pearl on it, and the dates of the photographs coincide with the times that Wilson and Pearl would have been in Peace River. |
