Cincinnati daily press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1860-1862, 1861-12-23

EDITOR PREss-Any thing that relates to
the early settlement of the West particularly
Cincinnati, is interesting to many give a
short history of the First Presby byteriau Church
in thiseity. In laying out the city, the proptie-
tor donated the square where the First Pres
by terian Church stands, south of Church
alley to Fourth street. between Main and
Walnut, and north of the alley for public
buildings for the county. The Society that
formed, held ther first meetings in the woods
| where the Church now stands, having the
broad canopy of Heaven for temple; the
lofty forest trees for aisles, and logs for seats
and pews, and for carpet, natures floor.
They met in singieness of heart and offered
up their Iadoration in spirit and in truth.
ltswas a time of peril, when at night the
shrek of the panther, the gTowl of the bear,
the howl of the wolf and more terrible than
all the war hoop of the Indian was heard,
which made mothers bold closer their infants
to their heart, the fathers to grasp their rifles
more firmly, expecting every moment to see
the savage fee with the swinging hatchet
and brandishing scalping-knife. -
The formation of the society was as fol-
lows: In October, 1890, seventy.one years
ago, the Rev. David Rice, of Lexington. KY,
OF the Pennsylvania Presbytery, visited Gin
cinnati, then called Losantville (very class
ical Dame) and Columbia, and organized the
first Presbyterian congregation in Cincin-
natl, and one in Columbia. The following
named persons were the first members of the
society: Daniel Ketchel, Joseph Reeder,
jacob Reeder, Annie Reeder, Samuel Sering,
Sarah Seripg Jonathan Ticknor, Isaac Nor
ris. Only eight names composed the hive
that has been the parent Of several societies
in the city. A description of the first meet
ing'bouse may be interesting to the mary
readers of the PRESS. l had it from the lips
of the venerable Judge BuInet, one of the
early pioneers.
1t YVES from the timber cut on and
around the place where the present church
stands, and the timber hewed for the'frame
boards, sawed by hand by whip saw used
in early times; when needed it was covered
with the boards. The worship was held
(being warm weAther) on the floor of plank
from family boats that moved down the
river; seats of the same; for pulpit, dry
goods box in front. Birds were seen flying
from tree to tree; every male, with loaded
rife in hand, ready TO repel the savage foe
The house was sold to the Rev. VIM. Burke
and moved 10 Vine street, where the Palace
Garden is row, known as Burke's Church il
1916 and a two steepled church built in IL
place. 10 1850 it was taken down, and thu
present one built and called the Pioneer
| Church.
l have said as much as may be interesting
| TO the readers of the Press, as my intention
is simply to give history of the formation
of the Society. Yours, G. TOBEY.
