opened for religious services, and early
settlers speak OF going there often to hear
3him preach. At the time of his first ar

Quincy in the spring Of 81, laid down
regular appointments here also, for every
alternate Lords day. He preached first
in different private houses, then in Mr.
Lacy's Hotel, in Somers' Hall, and later
in the upper part Of old Headquarters. ~

Of Baptist Church. In accordance with
previous request, the brethren and friends
tarried after meeting to take the matter
into consideration. Elder Quincy was
chosen chairman. Horatio Marsh, clerk

and wife were the first to be received
