Until 1867, those persons residing in this
town who would worship God in accor-
dance with the Baptist faith. were connec-
ted with the llydcyille church. In the
fall of that year the members OF that
church, who were residents of Fairhaven.
took letters from it. AMI in December,
1867, the first Baptist church Of Fairhayen
was organized, il having at that time 30
members ca males and rs females. The
church was without pastor for some ten
months, the pulpit, during that time, being
supplied by Rev Leland Howard and Rev.
o. Cunningham. both of Rutland. In 1868
Rev. p. + Jones' of Ballston. was settled
as pastor, who remained with them about
year, when he was dismissed The net
gain Of members during his pastorate was
fifteen. The first deacons of the church
were Col Alonson Alien of Fairhayen and
| n Churchill of Hampton. After Mr.
Jones dismission, the pulpit was supplied
by Rev. W a Bacon of Ludlow until Sep
TENDER 1869, when Rev. Dwight Spencer
was i'i"N9'S' W auIPiN AHc puIilt, WHICH
he did until January LIST, 1871. when he
was settled rs pastor, and at present occu-
pies that position The present member
ship is 112. The dcacons have been in
creased to four, by the addition of John
5 Moon and Isaac Harlow to the list.
Worship was conducted in the Town Hall
until 1870. In 1869 the society barganed
with DaAiel Ormes for lot on which to
build, but for some unknown reason the
sale was not effected. Mr.. Ira C. Allen
then gave the society the lot on which the
new church now stands, and in the fall of
that year the society commenced to build
church, the foundation beng laid in the
fall, the corner stone in June, 1870, and
December 25tll, of that year, they occupied
the vestry for the first time. where they
have since held service
The first building committee were Ira c
Allen. Alonson Allen. James Pottles, y
Peck. J NJ Proctor. | Harlow and John
Smith. After occupying the vestry and
finishing up the outside of the church,
work was suspended on account of scarcity
of funds, the society not wishing to build
faster then they had money herewith TO
pay. Last season work on the upper part
was commenced. Ira c Allen, James Pot
