Rev. J. G. Schaid

Rev. J. G. Schaid served the church as its second pastor, beginning his duties July 16th, 1875.  Pastor Schaid came to Knoxville a young graduate from the Seminary at Philadelphia, Penn., and during his ministry here, married and with his family served the congregation over 12 years, a long service in one church, and yet after 32 years, his name is but a memory, and in the congregation today there are but few left who knew pastor Schaid. Some years ago, at an advanced age, and in failing health, he was killed while crossing a railroad.
