a| Dr. Neil Graham Bethea (1872-1957) was a Methodist Protestant evangelist and minister. A native of Little River, N.C., Bethea joined the North Carolina Annual Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church in 1897 and served as Conference Evangelist for a number of years. Dr. Bethea's first pastorate was in Ellenboro, after which he went to Bessemer City, where "Bethea's Chapel" was later built and named in his honor. He also served in pastorates at Gibsonville, Yarborough, Granville Circuit, Halifax Circuit, Lexington, Asheville, Fletcher, Tryon, and Swannanoa, N.C. He helped to found High Point College and subsequently received the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity from that institution.
