Ileheart, Louisa Phillips, Anna Givens, Sophronia Cox, Emily
Bsaird, Eliza Clark, Amanda F. Igleheart and Palestine O'Burns.

Givens and Bats Oost. The church continued to worship in the
old lot house until their new house was completed, in 1867. Cost
of new building, 1,200 or 1,400. The first Pastor was Elder L.
C. Tichnor, who served until August, 1870. He was succeeded by
