The Second Presbyterian Church was organized Friday night, December 26, 1844. Following are names of the original members: Alexander S. Caldwell and wife, Martha; Dr. Joseph N. Bybee and wife; T. Pritchett; M. F. Prichett; Misses M. A., M. C., P. C. and M. L. Patillo; Mrs. Eliza Houston, James D. Goff and wife, Miss L. C. Boyd and her slave, Scipio; Dr. R. H. Patillo and wife and J. S. Levett. The first elders were Joseph N. Bybee and R. H. Patillo, and the first deacons A. S. Caldwell and J. S. Levett. Rev. John H. Gray was unanimously elected pastor on Monday, the 29th of December, on which day the session was constituted and Joseph N. Bybee elected its clerk. Seven additional persons were admitted to membership that morning. The church edifice, standing at the corner of Maine and Beale Streets, was soon afterward erected, and dedicated April 2, 1848. The Rev. R. C. Grundy was elected to the pastorate February 22, 1857, and remained until 1861, after which the Rev. J.N. Waddell and Rev. J. H. Gray were each stated supply for a short time, and in August, 1865, the Rev. T. D. Witherspoon became pastor, remaining until , when Rev. W. E. Boggs was chosen and remained until 1879. The pulpit was filled by supplies until January, 1881, when Rev. J. M. Rose became pastor and remained until 1882, when he was succeeded by the Rev. J. F. Latimer, who remained two years. In May, 1885, the present pastor, Rev. Dr. Boggs, returned to the church. The membership is now about 350, and the Sunday-school, of which R. E. Wilcox is superintendent, has about 220 scholars. 2 The Third Presbyterian Church, standing at the corner of Seventh and Chelsea Streets, was organized October 7, 1856, with fourteen members. The Rev. Edward Porter, having served the church from the time of its organization as stated supply, was installed pastor October 20, 1860, and on the next day the brick church which had been in process of erection about eighteen months was dedicated by Sermon Register of the Rev.

the Rev. John H. Rice, D. D. On the 27th of April, 1862, the pastor resigned and entered the Con-federate Army and was succeeded by the Rev. William A. Sampler, who was installed October 13, 1866. Rev. E. M. Richardson, D. D., the present pastor, was chosen November 10, 1868, and installed June 13, 1869. The church is situated in what is known as Chelsea and is a most attractive and comfortable structure, with a seating capacity of 500. The present membership is about 150, and both the Sunday-School and ladies' society are in an energetic and flourishing condition. The Church meets its obligations promptly, and liberally contributes to benevolent objects. Sermon Register of the Rev. Thomas Dwight Witherspoon, Volume 1, 1859-1877. © PCA Historical Center, 2005.

“On May 1-2, 1866, Memphis suffered its worst race riot in history. Some forty-six African Americans and two whites died during the riot. A Joint Congressional Committee reported seventy-five persons injured, one hundred persons robbed, five women raped, ninety-one homes burned, four churches and eight schools burned and destroyed, and seventeen thousand dollars in federal property destroyed. Hundreds of blacks were jailed, and almost all other freedmen fled town until the disturbance ended. For two days, white mobs, which included policemen, firemen, and some businessmen, attacked the freedmen's camps and neighborhoods. The riot started after an alarm went out that African American soldiers from Fort Pickering, on the south boundary of downtown Memphis, had killed several policemen who tried to arrest a black soldier. In response to the reports, Union General George Stoneman disarmed the soldiers and locked them in their barracks, leaving nearby freedmen's settlements vulnerable to the white mobs that soon attacked women, children, and defenseless men, as well as the northern missionaries who served as ministers and teachers for the freedmen. The Memphis riots reflected the anger and frustration felt by many white citizens and particularly former Confederates, who had suffered the agony of a bitter defeat at the hands of a black and white Union army. Irish immigrants, who had sided with the Confederacy, especially hated the freedmen who dominated the skilled and unskilled jobs that had previously served as a mechanism for upward mobility in the Irish community. Some downtown businessmen participated in the mob because they resented the hordes of penniless freedmen on the streets. Other rioters wanted revenge for the Union occupation. The use of African American soldiers as patrolmen with power to order whites to "move on" was especially galling to many. Finally, the riots reflected the attitudes of most white citizens toward the former slaves who were then free and soon demanding equal rights. One outcome of the Memphis riot (and a similar riot in New Orleans) was the congressional move toward Radical Reconstruction. The Radical Republicans passed a Civil Rights Bill and the Fourteenth Amendment, guaranteeing citizenship, equal protection of the laws, and due process to former slaves. Tennessee was forced to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment before being allowed to return to the Union (July 1866). Paradoxically, the former slaves became citizens, voters, and officeholders in part due to the Reconstruction acts passed in response to the race riots in Memphis and elsewhere.” [Tennessee Encyclopedia of History and Culture, http://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/] 4 Despite the small discrepancy, the dates provided in the following account would lead us to believe the Dr. Witherspoon was a central participant at the opening, dedicatory services of the Court-Street Tabernacle. Goodspeed’s History of Shelby County states “The Central Baptist Church was organized December 3, 1865, at the First Church, standing at the corner of Adams and Second Streets. Before the war the Beale Street Church and the mission at Fort Pickering were doing the work of the Baptists, but at its close the Beale Street Church had no pastor, no house of worship, no regular meetings, and to all appearances had gone to pieces, as was the case with the Mission at Fort Pickering. South Memphis was thus without Baptist services, and the only Baptist Church was in the extreme northern end of the city. A considerable number of members of the First Baptist Church, however, lived toward the south end of the city, and it was inconvenient for them to attend their own church. After consulting with old members of the Beale Street Church, a new organization was effected and named the Central Church, composed of forty-three members of Beale Street Church and seventy-five of First Church. The Beale Street Church conveyed their lot to the new organization, and the First Church allowed its retiring members $10,000, as their share of the property. On December 3, 1865, at a meeting presided over by Rev. S. H. Ford, D. D., the Central Baptist Church was organized, and Dr. Ford immediately chosen pastor. For six months the new church and the First Church used the building of the First Church on alternate Sundays, and in the meantime the Central Church leased a lot on Court Street, upon which they erected at a cost of $3,000, a frame building known as the Tabernacle. The Tabernacle was used from June 24, 1866, to December, 1868.” Sermon Register of the Rev. Thomas Dwight Witherspoon, Volume 1, 1859-1877. © PCA Historical Center, 2005. 3

Under control of Union forces during the war, the steamer Des Arc was used to ferry medical supplies. Lauderdale Street Presbyterian Church was established as a mission on Union Street during the pastorate in the Second Presbyterian Church of the Rev. T. D. Witherspoon. A chapel was erected and dedicated by the Rev. John H. Gray, and a Sunday-school was conducted for some years by members of the Second Presbyterian Church. The first preacher at this mission was the Rev. Mr. Wykoff, who was succeeded by Rev. J. F. Latimer, now professor in Union Theological Seminary, Virginia. In 1874 the church was established by the name of the Union Street Presbyterian Church with the Rev. A. Shotwell pastor about a year. He was succeeded by the Rev. John A. Waddell, at present chancellor of the Southwestern Presbyterian University at Clarksville. Subsequently a lot was purchased at the corner of Lauderdale and Beale Streets and the present building commenced in June, 1876, and dedicated in October following when the name was changed to the Lauderdale Street. Church. In 1879, upon the election of Dr. Waddell to his present position, the Rev. N. M. Long was engaged and in 1881 the Rev. R. A. Lapsley became the pastor, remaining until 1882. The present pastor, Rev. Samuel A. Caldwell, was then chosen. In connection with this church is a large and flourishing Sunday-school of which Judge B. M. Estes is the superintendent. 7

“Sucker State” is an obscure nickname for Illinois, and also the name of a steamer operated by The Northern Packet Company. The boats owned by the company at first operated as far north as Davenport but in 1859 the boats began going up the river to St. Paul. In 1867, the Hawkeye State made the record run in 2-21-49 (not 2-20) from St. Louis to St. Paul. Her sister boat, the Sucker State had set the record a few months earlier in 2-23-48. Built in 1860 and weighing 394 tons, it was dismantled in 1872.

Louis and Saint Paul trade when it was cheaper to travel on these fine boats than to stay at home. Five large side-wheel steamers came out new in April, 1870. The 'Red Wing' had the year 1870 in bright red letters beautifully shaded on the center of her wheel house above her name. She replaced the once famous but old and dismantled 'Sucker State' and handsome Captain Wm.P. Hight and his excellent crew which included Charlie Manning and Billy Wood, pilot, 'Judge' Brady, clerk, and Moses Muller, mate, that had made the old boat so popular and profitable, came out on the new and larger 'Red Wing.'

“In this little area south of the Memphis Bridge, where the Metal Museum now stands, the old Fort Pickering neighborhood provided a meeting place and a battle ground for black dock workers and white riverboat hands.
