Bixler and D. Merrill composed the building committee. The present pastor (1884) is Rev. James F. Remington, who succeeded Rev. M. C. Piper. Among the early members of this organization were David Wolf and family, Moses Wisegarver and family, and Isaac Pierson and family. The present members (1884) are forty-one in number. A parsonage will be completed in July, 1883.
