First Presbyterian Church.

Early records OF the First Presby-
terrain church have been lost. but 1t
is thought that the organization was
effected in 1s47. The first pastor was
Rev. Peter Douan who served until
D.. was sent as a missionary to preach
here and with him begins the present
record. At the first meeting after the
war. held In 1866 Rev. w. A. Carter
presided. and was elected later as
pastor. The church had about thirty
members at the time but nevertheless
contributed to the Presbyterian mis-
sfons. DR.. Carter served for fifteen
years. during which time the church
~as greatly strengthened In activities
and numbers.
After several changes In leaders. and
notable development. Dr.. III. s. Yerger
was called to the ministry OF the PEN
sacoia church, and during his pastor
ste the question o. new church
building was agitated. TIE church lot
on E. Chase-st was gwen for the pur-
rosA and the building erected and
dedicated In 1889.

200 and the Rev. N. E. a1cIiwain tool

a portion of their lot. In the new
building they prospered and 1880
found them entertaining an annual
conference. In 1883 they moved to
their two-story building on Garden

about 25 years. In 1905 the corner

laid. and in 1910 services were con-

The Epworth League, a religious
and social band for the young people
OF the church, and the Ladies Aid, are
both engaged in promoting the cause
and the growth of the faith as a Pen

The church has grown in numbers
and in influence eacn year, and the
revival held in October of this year
