In 1906 Mary Mills Coxe built a chapel at her Green River Plantation, reportedly for her "colored servants and others." After Mary died in 1914, daughter Maude Coxe oversaw the chapel until her own death in 1939. During the 1940s, Maude's sister, Daisy Coxe Wright, challenged the diocese for control over St. Andrew's – ostensibly because the bishop sent a black priest there. Daisy transferred the chapel's trust fund to the local Rutherfordton church, and after that St. Andrew's did not remain open long. In 1955 it was moved in four sections to become the new home of Good Shepherd, Tryon
