passed on, but with the growth of
population and the organization of
churches of various denominations in
town and the adjacent county viii
lagos. the need for such a society
ceased. and it was discontinued en-
March 20. 1868.
The church services were held in
this school house. until sometime in
1858 when the court room in the new
county house was completed and the
Baptist and Methodist sused the room
alternately until in 1868 when the
Baptist commenced the erection of
church edifice which stood on the
lots where, Kemming. Kelly, Lamborn
and Boylan now are. 1t was dedicat
ed on January 3. 1869. In the spring
of 1875 business having increased the
price of lots very materially. it was
decided to sell the present location
and buy farther from the business
center. This was done and the church
building was moved to the location
on the corner of Chestnut and Sweet
streets. In the spring of 1884, the
church found 1T necessary to build
parsonage on the lot north of the
church. The building was completed
during the summer and was first oc-
cupied by Pastor Avery. AS the
church accumulated property 1T be-
came necessary, to have Articles of
incorporation that the trustees might
do business legally and these were
adopted March 10, 1884.
On the evening of February IA.
1886, after an evening Of shivering
discomfort. although the sexton had
been trying-vainly to heat the church
with green wood-the church edlice
was completely destroyed by fire.
Saddened but not dishear ted. the
brave little band faced the situation.
through the foresight and generosity
of two of the members, insurance had
been kept up, and with this for a
building fund a subscription was
circulated and our present church was
erected. Meantime the preaching
services were held regularly in the Ger
mania Hall where our Sunday Sc hool
reached "high water mark 400 and
then in the Episcopal church until
the dedication of the building on
February IL. 1888.

! by the burning of our church. none
was more bewailed than the loss Of
the bell. Its clear sweet tones were
the first to sound from church tower
in the county. 1t was bought by the
help of many Sunday School scholars
as we'll as other generous contribu-
tions costing over $4,000. 1t was
of steel. its weight $50 pounds. The
bell fell with the tower and was bad
Ky cracked. 1t was bought by the
Luney Bros, and lecast and hung
back of the old Presbyterian church
in Denison a number of years, but on
the building of their new church, it
was laid aside for some eight or nine
years. when in 1906 Rev. a. G.
Martyr secured it for the use of
Presbyterian church in Lawton, Iowa
where it was hung in this church tower
with suitable ceremonies of dedica-
ton.
About this time the church had
two thriving missions. one in Para
disc township and the other near
Coon Grove from which we received
many earnest church members. AS
yeaas passed on and our membership
increased and our Sunday School
classes crowded upon each other, it
was found necessary to enlarge our
borders so under the efficient and
painstakin e oversight of Brother
Halver A. Norman the north wall of
the auditorium were moved 20 feet
and the vestry enlarged IL feet and

and choir loft are now more advanta-
