BRUCE CHAPEL.
About twelve miles below Point Pleasant, on Mercer's Bottom,
a large and fertile tract of land, once owned by Charles Fenton
Mercer, we have a comfortable brick building called Bruce Chapel,
erected during the ministry of the Rev. James Goodwin, and so
named because of the large contribution made to it by Mrs. Eliza
Bruce, now of Richmond, and whose liberality to so many other
objects is well known throughout Virginia. The chapel is in the
neighbourhood of the Moores, Beales, General Steenbergen, and
others whose names I cannot now recall.
