were moved to build a church The
sons felled the trees and the father
hewed the logs.

come down in Methodist annals as a
Woodworking preacher, was the frs.
minister in the charge. Two other
churches We're built, which Ashworth
combined in his Silver creek circuit.
Silver creek circuit covered a field
where there are now eighty-eight
churches and 10000 mem bers.
One of the churches on Silver creek
circuit was called Buckeye chapel. be-

logs. It stood on the banks of Four
teen-Mile creek. Several years ago q
dispute arose in which it was claimed
that this Buckeye chapel was really
the first Methodist church built in the
state. During the discussion 1t was

sons chapel, near Charlestown, is the
oldest Methodist church in Indiana.

say, has apparently been forgotten by
the people of -Charlestown, forgotten
by even the Methodists there One
would suppose that the greatest HIS
torical interest would be attached 70
the old chapel by all members of the
church. It is doubtful, however, if a
third Of the Methodists in Charlestown
can tell where the first Methodist
church in the state now stands-alnost
under their noses. The church has
