Two OF the institutions of which
Fredericktown has justly been proud
are It's churches and schools.
The first preaching service In Fred
ericktown was held In an old fort

stood about where the Levering
warehouse now stands. Afterwards
services were held in cNrpertor

sack residence now stands.
The first church to organize in
Fredericktown was the Presbyterian
church which was organized by Rev.
Wright in 1908. In 1920 they began
the erection OF a church ediace where
the Jones theatre block now stands,
but embarked on too large scale
and they were forced to sell the same
to be used as O warehouse. After
this. they held their meetings In the
