Dear Sister Helen Mary I.H.M.
The following is taken from our history records:
’Winfield Scott, D.D.
Nov. 1871 to April 1875
When Dr. Winfield Scott assumed the pastorate of the First Baptist Church in November 1871 only forty of the seventy members could be found. Brought to Denver for the express purpose of building a new church edifice, plans were set in motion immediately for starting the building. At the same time, Dr. Scott pushed for victory in every phase of the church work. At the close of his pastorate, the membership had reached 200, and the Sunday School was flourishing under the leadership of W. C. Lothrop. In his time, Dr. Scott was one of the most popular preachers in Denver. He never minced words, and his original eloquenceand straightforeward manner delighted his congregations. Dr. Scott held many distinguished pastorates including Leavenworth, Kansas; and Oakland and Los Angeles, California. In a letter to Dr. Granville Malcolm in 1895, from his home in Arizona, Dr. Scott said, "I remember that church as a most united and spirited one. The march from the "Holy Dug-Out" with forty members to the present glory is a notable and triumphant one."
I hope this will help you with your thesis.
Yours truly
