Shiloh African Methodist Episcopal Church, 1935 and 1939

Includes court documents in regards to Shiloh African Methodist Episcopal Church's ownership of land beginning on the east side of Smith Street, near the corner of Morris Street. On February 3, 1923, Julia P. Dart conveyed the property to the Trustees of Shiloh Union Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1930, the Trustees of the Charleston Church found out that the Union Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States would not contribute funds for them to pay off their debt. In early 1935, a membership meeting was called and the Shiloh Union congregation decided to sever its ties with the Union Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States. Consequently, Shiloh Union defaulted on their payment to Dart and the Trustees decided to re-convey the property to her. However, in October 1935, Dart sold the land back to them for $1,800 to be paid as it is outlined in the agreement. In addition, there is another title to real estate dated 1939 between these two parties, but it is unsigned.
