The Union church, at Mount Healthy was erected about 1850, by the Lutherans, Methodists and United Brethren. It is a frame building, and cost about six hundred dollars.
The first minister of the United Brethren was Rev. John Sidman. The first trustees were:
John Black, of the Methodists
John Ware, of the Lutherans
William Barick, of the United Brethren.
The Lutherans now have a membership of about twenty, and the United Brethren about thirty. The sabbath school is at present entirely under the control of the United Brethren, and number about forty pupils.
