Owing to the destruction by fire of the early
records of this church, we are unable to give the date of its
organization, though it was between 1840 and 1850, probably 1845.
The names of the first members could not be obtained. Some of the
pastors of the congregation have been: William Bell, Lilburn Rush,
Walter Toole, William Warren, W. W. Wainwright, J. W. Jordan, A.
P. Linn, Revs. Hedgepeth, Root, Blackwell, William M. Wood and
Rev. Shackleford. The original church was built about 1845, and
the present one in 1877. It cost about $1,500, is a frame, and is
34 x 50 feet in dimension. There is a membership here of some 200.
The Sabbath-school of 106 pupils, is superintended by John C.
Rhodes.
