[Front]:
This is one of the oldest Methodist congregations in Laurens County. Its earliest records have been lost, but tradition holds that Martin Dial (1744-1843), a veteran of the Revolution, organized a “Methodist Society” about 1808. It met for years in his log cabin nearby. After a camp meeting in 1835 his family donated an acre here for the first permanent church, a log building.

[Reverse]:
The present frame sanctuary was built about 1860. Dials Male and Female Academy, later Dials School, opened nearby before the Civil War and closed in the 1930s. The church cemetery, dating from 1832, includes graves of veterans of American wars since the War of 1812. Dials Methodist Church is the mother of Gray Court Methodist Church (1890) and Owings Methodist Church (1920).

Erected 2010 by Congregation of Dials Methodist Church. (Marker Number 30-15.)

1. Martin Dial Obituary (Supplied by Sarah Jane Armstrong)
"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."
For the Southern Christian Advocate

Brother Martin Dial was born on Haw River, NC and was supposed to be ninety-five years of age at the time of his death. He immigrated to the state in early life and was present at several of the battles in the glorious struggle for American independence. At the battle of Cambridge, called old Ninety-six, he and another soldier named McDaniel were out on a foraging party and on their return found nearly all their fellow soldiers destroyed by the Tories. They soon commenced preparing graves in which to deposit the bodies of their comrades and though threatened by the enemy with death, they completed their purpose.

He embraced religion at quite an early date, (1770) and was converted to God soon after he attached himself with the church. He could tell of those “fathers” who first planted the Gospel standard in Laurens District. His house was a regular preaching-place for thirty years; he received license to exhort

soon after his conversion and was the instrument in the hands of God in the conversion of many souls among whom are the names of Levi and David Garrison, good men and true. He has always sustained an unspotted reputation and died in the confidence of all his neighbors. In his last moments, he exhorted those around him to faithfulness in the service of God and fell asleep in the arms of Jesus on December 26th in the prospect of a glorious immortality. I cannot close this imperfect notice of this aged man of God without referring to a circumstance that occurred not long since. On visiting him, I found him still the patient sufferer, for he had been afflicted for the last fifty years with an asthmatic affection. Though a little previous to his death, he was nearly relieved of that disease and finally died of old age. I enquired of the old man, how he rested. He replied that for the last thirty years he had not lain down and pointed to a small table on which he leaned for repose surrounded with blankets fixed on chairs. He, however, brightened up and said that it was all well. He could not sleep as he had more time for prayer. Oh, I thought, what resignation is here, what confidence in God! I could not but secretly wish that my last end might be like his. But he has gone to where afflictions can never come, and has joined those aged veterans of the cross who often found a home and
