Summary: The Lake City District of the South Carolina Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church encompasses churches in portions of Florence, Williamsburg, Georgetown, Clarendon, and Sumter counties. The records cover the years 1956 to 1968, with some files continuing into the early 1970s. The charge conference records cover the years 1956-1968.
Organization: Chronological, then alphabetical by charge appointment within each year. During processing, the original order kept by the district superintendent was maintained. Occasionally churches move from one charge to another, and this is noted in the record when possible. Some additional papers are at the end of the Quarterly Conference files.
Access: Unrestricted
Cite as: Records of the Lake City District, South Carolina Annual Conference.
Location: Archives, Sandor Teszler Library, Wofford College, Spartanburg, SC 29303
