Tablet to the Late Rev. Dr. D.A. Penick

The following copies from the Presbyterian of the South will be of interest to many Cabarrus people:

At New Monmouth Church, a few miles from Lexington, Va., on next Sunday a tablet will be unveiled to the memory of Rev. Dr. D.A. Penick, who was pastor of that church for many years. It is to be a homecoming day for the members of the church who are living elsewhere, and it is expected that a large number of them will be present.

Dr. Penick was born in Cabarrus county, North Carolina, on April 15, 1934. He was educated at Davidson and Hampden-Sidney colleges and at Union Theological Seminary, from which he graduated in 1857. He was licenses by the Concord Presbytery on April 18, 1857, and was ordained by the same Presbytery on January 28, 1858. He became stated supply of Poplar Tent Church in that Presbytery in 1857, and the next year became its pastor, which pastorate he held until 1873. In 1874 he accepted a call to the New Monmouth Church, and remained its pastor until 1907, when he was made pastor emeritus. He retained this connection until his death on August 22, 1922.

Dr. Penick was a man of ability, a faithful preacher of the gospel, a devoted pastor, a true friend, a man of education and culture, a loyal servant of God, a Christian, who showed his faith by his works.
