HISTORY OF DERBY.

Among the first settlers of the town
were several professors of religion, and
religious worship was established soon
after the settlement Of the town. Mis-
sionaries from other towns were the first
preachers who came to minister to the
people, services being held in private
houses, barns, and out-of-doors. August
9, 1907, a Congregational church was
organized in a log house owned by Free
man Vining, consisting Of l6 members
who lived in the towns of Derby, Nor
gan, Newport and Stanstead. These
were Elisha Lyman and wife, James
Greenleaf and wife, Freeman Winning,
Luther Chaplin. Eleazer Jones and wife,
James Bangs and wife, Christopher Bart
lett, Nathan Wilcox, Sarah Benham,
Phebe Human. and Luther Newcomb
and wife. The church was formed BY
Elijah Lyman of Brookfeld. For the
next few years there was no regular
preaching, but In the spring of 1910,
| Luther Leland from Holliston, Mass.
moved into town and was ordained pas
tor. Mr.. Leland was an educated pas
tor, and for some years was the only
Congregational clergyman in the county.
Mr.. Leland settled on land, part of
the minister lot and lived near the
present site of the Congregational church.
In the fall of 1910 a Rev. Mr.. Smith,
Baptist minister, came into town and
received one half, or part, of the land
known as the minister land" A Bap-
fist church was formed soon after. These
churches have maintained their organi-
cations and continued their usefulness
until this day The first house of wor-
ship was built in 1920 at a cost of
$500 dollars; it was divided into so
shares, and every owner had right to
control the house as many Sabbaths in
the year as he owned shares. This was
union church, built chiefly by Congre-
gationalists and Baptists. and stood
not far from the old Judge Hin
man tavern, on land now owned by
Zebulon Niles. The Baptist church was
built in 1886, and dedicated the follow
ing year. The union church at the Line
was built in 1910. the Methodist church
at the Center in 1914, and the present
Congregational church in 1859. A
church was built at West Derby in IS
which has been occupied chiefly by the
Freewill Baptist. though the UNIVERSAL
lists have held services there considerably
A few years since new church edifce
was built at the Line by the Congrega
tionalists.
