mile northeast Of the present

such men as Jerry and Bob |

fulnebs to the church and state.
Thi%irst church was discarded |
some time in the fifties and a
more commodius building, with a
Masonic hall above, was erected
on the present church site, and
in 1875 this second building was
replaced by o handsome frame
building, which was built by q
committee composed of George
w. Lamar, Green B. Stout, Hen.
ry s, Horn, Elisha Gray and
James M. Laman, all Of whom
have passed TO their reward, OK
