    Notes:

    Coleman Calvary Dunlap
    Dunlap, Coleman C., for 4 years pastor of Mother Bethel A. M. E. Church, Philadelphia, was born near Clinton, S. C., in the year 1861. He was converted at the age of 18 years and joined New Bethel Church about three miles from Clinton. He was licensed to preach by William S. Thomas during the pastorate of Nathaniel Childs in 1879, serving as a local preacher for two years. In 1881 he joined the Columbia Conference, under Bishop Dickerson, at Spartansburg, S. C.
    After securing a primary education at the public school of Clinton, he entered Allen University at Columbia, S.C., in 1881. His parents being poor, were unable to render him any material assistance. President J.C. Waters and Bishop William F. Dickerson, seeing that he was studious and trustworthy, gave him assistance.
    He was assigned to a Mission Church on Wheeler Hill, Columbia, where he spent four years, and also acted as assistant teacher of the primary department. He served several small appointments around the country, during his stay of six years at Allen University.

    In 1887, he graduated in the first college class of Allen University as valedictorian of his class. Among the members of the class were Bishop William. D. Chappelle, A. J. Hunter, of Alabama, and D. T. MacDaniel, of South Carolina. This same year he married Miss Martha Henderson, of Abbeville, South Carolina. He pastored some of the best appointments of the Columbia Conference, among which were S.C. Winnsboro, S.C., and Greenville, S.C.
    In 1894 he was transferred by Bishop Turner, to take charge and superintend the work of the Churches in the Bermuda Islands. He served four years very acceptably St. Paul Baptist Church, Hamilton, Bermuda, and paid nearly the entire indebtedness of 600 pounds sterling on the church.
    On returning to America he was stationed at Coxsackie, N.Y. In 1899, he was transferred to the New England Conference and stationed at Bethel Church, Providence, R.I. Here he did wonderful work, uniting the church which had been torn asunder and increasing the congregation by 50 per cent. While here he took a special course in English literature in Brown University.

    In 1903 Bishop Derrick transferred him to the Philadelphia Conference and stationed him at Chester, Pa., where he spent five successful years.
    He was then sent to Harrisburg, Pa., and found the church well-nigh deserted. Here he possibly did the best work of his life--- and in 1912 Bishop Evans Tyree removed him after four years of successful labor in Harrisburg, to take charge of Mother Bethel Church, Philadelphia. It required considerable patience, endurance and diplomacy to unite the factions in this church and to bring her back to her former glory.
    He has accomplished a good work at Mother Bethel, paid off current expenses of $1500, which he found, kept up the mortgage indebtedness each year of $1000 and interest, repaired the memorial windows, which cost considerable, placed electric lights in the church, built two three-story houses on the church lot that bring a rental of $95 a month, decorated the entire church and paid for all these repairs in full as the work was being done. He was a delegate to the General Conferences of 1896 and 1912, and is chairman of the local committee to entertain the Centennial General Conference.
