From the Richmond Dispatch, January 17, 1886:
One one of the very successful Mission Sunday schools in the city is the one under the care of the Young Men’s Society of the First Presbyterian church, located on Oregon Hill, corner of Spring and Pine streets. W.S. Donnan, Jr., is the efficient superintendent, ably seconded by his assistant, Mr. A.H. Christian, and a faithful band of teachers. The school now numbers some 250, and is in great need of more teachers.
