Sloan Jamison
(17 Apr 1852 - 17 Dec 1929)
In 1880 before the town of Angleton was established, two dedicated women, Mrs. M.S. Munson and Mrs. James Jamison, decided to organize a Sunday School to further Christian education for the children and the community. This Sunday School met in the small house located at “Variety Grove�?on the J.J. Ranch, home of J.J. Jamison, about three and one-half miles southwest of the present city of Angleton. A Miss Black, niece of Mrs. Munson, was tutor for the Jamison’s. She taught in the new Sunday School. The project prospered and the group soon overflowed the building. Meetings were then held under the oak trees on the ranch.
This called for action, so a log house with dirt floor was built near Oyster Creek Station, the work being done by some of the employees of the Munson and Jamison families. Furnished with backless benches, this became the first real church building.
As the Sunday School continued to grow, a new building was planned. Near the Sloan Jamison home, a frame building with floors became the next church. Here the benches had backs.
