"This is a tape of Elder Lamb's last service at Reidsville Church. 2nd Sun August 12 1990, before his death on Aug 16 1990 (Thurs). Elder Draper from Winston Salem Elder Joyce from Mayodan were with him."
Martinsville Primitive Baptist Church was founded on October 28, 1899, and located in Martinsville, Virginia. Several names are used throughout the records books including Primitive Baptist Church at Martinsville, Martinsville Primitive Baptist Church, the Church Street Primitive Baptist Church Martinsville, Virginia, and Chatham Heights Primitive Baptist Church. Reference is made to the church meeting at a new location in Chatham Heights in 1963 which may explain some name variation. The church typically met monthly during which time minutes were recorded in the church record books. The first entry in this record book is July 1986 and the final entry is December 1990. Two letters are included, one from July 1985 and the other from March 1995.
