denomination.
II am also at a loss to give any correct
or definite information in regard TO the
Cumberland Presbyterian church. except
that the pioneer minister of that body was
the Rev. Charles Byles, who crossed the
plains in 1853, and settled on Grand
Mound prairie. where he formed the first
church OF that denomination in the ter
ritory.
THE Congregational church does not
date back TO pioneer days, but as the first
one in the territory was organized by one
who was a Californian pioneer, forty

to be presided over by the Hon. Judge
Jacobs. 1t has been suggested that ii
might not be amiss for his honor at the
close of these remarks, TO rise and throw
some light the peculiar transaction.
I'VE need only say that Mr.. Damon has
distinguished himself in the highest de-
gree by having contributed TO the max
ing of more couples happy or miserable
than any other minister in the territory.
so that he has become as famous as the
blacksmith of Gretna Green.
