EAST WEMYSS DISTRICT NEWS – TRIBUTE TO FORMER MINISTER
The Rev. Alex. Macrae paid tribute to a former minister of the Church, the Rev. George Bennett, at the morning service in St George’s on Sunday.
Mr Bennett, who died recently, was minister of St George’s from 1916 to 1926 when he accepted a call at Greenock and Shandon, where he served until his retirement, when he took up residence in Glasgow.
Mr Macrae said that Mr Bennett would be remembered by most of the older residents of East Wemyss and especially by this congregation for raising the building fund for the present Church as it was ;largely due to his vision and drive that the scheme was instigated although the Church was not constructed during his ministry.
Mr Bennett, who was laid to rest in East Wemyss Cemetery, is survived by two sons and a daughter. One son is a minister in Glasgow.
