Excerpt from Historical Sketch and Manual of the Shady Side Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, Pa From the papers referred to above, such data and incidents will be taken as may be necessary to the completeness of this historical record. In the spring of 1860, Mr. Thomas Aiken, now deceased, and Wm. B. Negley, Esq., determined upon an effort to secure the organization of a Sabbath school in the neighborhood. Accordingly, notice was given, and on the afternoon of Sabbath, April 26, 1860, the first session of the school was held in the public school building on Aiken avenue, then known as Aiken's lane. There were about 40 children present. Mr. Aiken acted as superintendent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
