This is a transcription of the listing of ministers found in the membership register for Mt. Vernon Methodist Episcopal Church, South -- now Mt. Vernon United Methodist Church. The early records appear to have been recorded by the ministers. Later records were recorded by Gertrude Simpson Martin, mother of Edith Martin Young. The recording of ministers names ended sometime after 1960. Mrs. Young provided the more recent names of ministers.

The register had two lists of names. The names in the first table were recorded on the left-hand page, while the second table shows the listing found on the right-hand page.
