James Hearst Pressly (1866-1955)
Pressly was born March 8, 1866, in the manse of the Generostee Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in Anderson County, to the Rev. William Laurens and Frances Elizabeth Wideman Pressly. His father was pastor of the Generostee and Due West Associate Reformed Presbyterian congregations before serving as president of Erskine Seminary until his death in 1906. His grandfather, Ebenezer Erskine Pressly, likewise had served the Due West Church prior to becoming the founding president of Erskine College in 1839.
Pressly graduated from Erskine College in 1885 and from the seminary in 1892. Within three months of graduation, on Aug. 5, 1892, he was installed as pastor of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in Statesville, N.C., which he served for 54 years, one of the longest pastorates in the history of the denomination.
The Rev. W.A. Kennedy once said of him, "He was richly endowed for ministerial work. Tall, straight as an arrow, endowed with a remarkable voice and a dramatic manner, with a wonderful memory and vivid imagination, he began his ministry with all the advantages on his side." The editor of The Charlotte Observer said, "When Rev. Pressly preached, he made things walk about in your mind."
Few ministers have played such a crucial role in shaping the character of a congregation as James Hearst Pressly did at Statesville. It has been estimated that he preached 5,000 sermons, baptized more than 1,000 people and performed innumerable marriage ceremonies. He was known as a strong pastor, practicing patience and gentleness among his people. His love for common people marked his ministry. At the time of his death, one of his church members said that he was probably the best known and loved man in Iredell County. His tireless labors went far beyond the membership of his congregation, and far beyond the limits of the city in which he lived.
In 1895, he was united in marriage with Julia Mabel Lowry of Harrells, Ala. They had 11 children, including six daughters who made great contributions to the work of their homes and their churches. One daughter dedicated herself to full-time missionary service in Pakistan. Of his five sons, three became medical doctors and two served as ministers. Each of his 11 children received a college education, even on his minister’s salary, thanks to his ardent dedication to education and his love for Erskine.
In 1899 the Statesville ARP Church was destroyed by a cyclone, and the congregation worshiped in the Jewish synagogue until the present church was constructed. In 1908 members of the Statesville congregation established a church in the southern part of the city, and it was named Pressly Memorial in honor of James Hearst Pressly and other ministers of the Pressly family. He was also the inspiration for starting the Salisbury ARP Church, having conducted services in a home in the Salisbury community in addition to his regular duties at Statesville.
Pressly retired from the ministry on March 1, 1946, and died at home on July 19, 1955, preceded in death by his wife of 47 years. He made his mark in this life as he ministered in preparation for the next.
His legacy lives on in the several churches of the denomination that he inspired and in the lives of those who were influenced by his example and preaching. His legacy lives on as four generations of his family have continued to study at Erskine. His legacy lives on as Erskine strives to embody all that he exemplified in his life and work.
