First Presbyterian Church of Troup The Rev. W.W. Brimm began conducting worship services in this area in 1873, soon after the town of Troup had been platted along a line of the Houston and Great Southern Railroad. Under his direction, this church was organized that same year with eight charter members. The first ruling elder was Col. Thomas W. Bell (1802-1876), who moved to Texas from Tennessee in 1849. After settling in Canton (now Omen), where he owned a hotel, he moved to Troup. A charter member of the First Presbyterian Church, he was instrumental in the development of the congregation. In 1876, services were moved from a temporary sanctuary to this site at the corner of E. Calvert and S. Carolina, when trustees acquired the land from the railroad company. A building at this location served the congregation until 1908-1909, when the current structure was completed. This building was constructed by Jim Duke and Reuben Mawilsky, two very fine cabinet men in the area at that time. Their style is recognizable throughout the Troup area in some of the houses constructed during that period. During construction of this facility, services were held in the local Masonic Lodge Hall. This building was completed in early summer of 1909.

84. Bethel Presbyterian - Our History Bethel Presbyterian Church was organized on June 6, 1818, by a congregation The Ladies Aid was organized in 1868 to clean up and refurbish the building http://www.bethelpcusa.org/history.html

Bethel Presbyterian Church was organized on June 6, 1818, by a congregation of twenty women and seven men. Through its long life as a continuing worshiping church it has been served by 31 pastors. At organization, Bethel shared a building above the town of Kingston with the Rittenhouse Academy, staying there until a new white frame sanctuary was built in 1858. The Ladies Aid was organized in 1868 to clean up and refurbish the building which had been used by both Federal and Confederate troops during the Civil Was. In 1883, the congregation decided to move the building to a more accessible location; it was dismantled, moved by mule-sled, and rebuilt on its present site. This is the same sanctuary in use today. Some changes in the interior and furnishings naturally have been made, but the building was not enlarged until 1951. The bell is the same one that was installed in 1858. Our historic sanctuary has received major repairs over the past 15 years, culminating in a complete renovation of the interior in 1987 at which time it was "rededicated" for "A Second Century of Service on the Corner". In 1965 the scope of Bethel's service to its members and the community-at-large was broadened by the completion of the adjacent Educational Building. This building houses the pastor's, secretary's, and Parish Nurse's offices, a library, numerous class rooms, a fellowship hall, a kitchen, and a meeting room for the Scouts.

Organ music has been an important part of First Presbyterian Church from the very beginning. The original instrument at First Church was a harmonium that lasted until about 1857. A five octave melodia was then purchased for $300 from George A. Prince of Buffalo, New York. One picture of the church in 1897 shows an organ with several ranks of pipes, both wood and metal, in the chancel area of the church which could be the melodia organ. In October of 1899, the purchase of a fine pipe organ was approved by Session at a cost of $2500. As part of the agreement, the old melodia organ was sold for $300 to the organ builder, the Möller Organ Company of Hagerstown, Maryland. Built for the church's 50th anniversary, Opus 263 was installed sometime early in 1900. The first of two inaugural concerts on the instrument was Friday, March 16th, 1900 by the famed organist Clarence Eddy. A total of $69.52 was raised from the Eddy recital and added to the organ fund, along with other donations and concert offerings. Among the donors of the day were the Brackenridges, L. T. Scarborough, Laura Driskoll and concerts by the Blind Pupils and resident organist David Grove. The First Church Ladies Aid Society gave the largest donation, a $1015 gift, which was quite a sum in 1900! In worship, the organ was dedicated on Sunday, March 18, 1900, with a music sermon by Pastor Rev. Wright and later published by the Organ Fund Committee at the request of the choir.

88. SOMERSET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH HISTORY From 1829 to 1991, the Somerset Presbyterian Church was a landmark at Fields Women’s societies such as the Ladies Aid or the Women s Missionary Society http://www.heritagevillagecincinnati.org/Bdetails/SomersetCD.html

HISTORY The Montgomery Presbyterian Church began as a congregation of early settlers in northern Hamilton County that would eventually divide to form the Somerset and Montgomery Presbyterian Churches. The original Montgomery congregation met near Sycamore Creek, and within two years they moved to land that is now Hopewell Cemetery. In 1819, the congregation moved again, this time into the heart of Montgomery, and shortly afterwards those who had moved to farms at the southern edge of Warren County formed a separate congregation. The first formal Session minutes of the Somerset congregation were recorded October 28, 1821. And it is written "one and one-half acres of land for the church had been purchased in 1828, from James Ross for twelve dollars." Until 1829, when the Somerset Church building was completed, the congregation met in a log meeting house through an agreement with the Sycamore Associate Reformed Church. This meetinghouse was on the grounds of what is now the Sycamore Presbyterian Church. The first elders of the Somerset Church were William Ross, James Ross, and Alexander Eson. In 1824 the congregation had a membership of forty. The village of Twenty-Mile Stand was very rural and at one time it was an important stagecoach stop. Montgomery Road was then called Montgomery Pike, because it was a "pike" or "toll" road. Stagecoaches traveling from Cincinnati (twenty miles away) to Chillicothe stopped for the night at the local tavern (for many years called the Twenty Mile House Restaurant but now the Hyde Park Grille). The village also had a post office at which mail riders stopped. There was a general store, a school, and later, a blacksmith and undertaker near Twenty Mile Stand. But the village did not grow. The construction of the Little Miami Railroad in the 1840s helped Foster’s Crossing (a few miles further north on the pike) but brought an end to the stagecoach era. Thus, by 1850 the village of Twenty-Mile Stand had only 47 people.

Easter 2004 Newsletter Christmas 2003 News. CHURCH GROUPS When people come to church they are being drawn in by God. let us foster their response by making them feel welcome to worship. History In 1895, the Ladies' Aid was organized. One of their projects was furnishings for the new church. The sum of one thousand dollars was raised for that purpose. United by a strong sense of loyalty to their church, they have continued to meet once a week over the years. Their beautiful quilts will be treasured in many households, for years to come. Around 1930, two women's groups, the Brant Auxiliary and the Presbyterian Women's Club, were organized. The Brant Auxiliary is the smaller group; it has been devoted to the work of the church at large. Perhaps this accounts for the strong bond of fellowship that unites its members. They not only support the finances of the church generously, but the budget as well. In 1964, two very handsome brass jardinieres for the sanctuary were given in memory of beloved and devoted members. The Women's Club has undertaken many worthwhile projects in property maintenance, both in the church and in the manse. Their most recent contribution to the church was a gift of one hundred bibles, in memory of loved members.

The cemetery behind the church dates from at least 1800. The church is no longer "four miles" from Fayetteville; it is within the city limits. The center of population of Cumberland County is now west of the church, so MacPherson is near the middle of expanding growth. Its days of greater service to the kingdom surely lie in its future.

One week later, on April 16 th , the entire community is invited to survey the structures. This will also mark the 144 th anniversary of the churchís birth in this community. The church was organized at the home of Charles P. Mosely, on the site of the water tower, on April 26, 1845 and the first services were held in the tavern owned by Mr. Mosely. It was first known as the First Congregational Church of Fairfield and connected with the convention in Beloit. Charter members were: Chas. P. Mosely, Jerusha Mosely, John B. Prentiss, Mary Fuller, Catherine Prentiss, Rebecca Kierstead, Maria Auger, Ben Fuller, Hannah Fuller, Catherine Fox, Lucinda Williams and Malvine Graves. In November of 1846 the form of government was changed from Congregational to Presbyterian and called First Presbyterian Church of Rome. (Oregon was still Rome Corners.) Rev. Matthew A. Fox was the first minister and served for nearly 40 years. (His picture always hung in the Sunday school room and watched us very intently as we learned our lessons and also supervised our social activities when we had gatherings there.)

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Church History Early Years New Church Victor Brown Dr. Stumpf ... The Pastors An Ambitious Beginning It was a natural development for the early settlers at Dunton, Illinois, to want to continue in the church they had known in their original homes. The people who had followed William H. Dunton to settle in the area were mostly of Scottish and English-parentage. So, on September 8, 1855, a group of settlers meeting in Mr. Dunton's barn at the corner of State Road and Northwest Highway, founded the First Presbyterian Society of Dunton. William Scoville was elected chairman and Mr. Dunton was elected secretary. E.A. Alien and Mr. Dunton were named trustees of the society. Within four months, on January 5, 1856, the trustees were authorized to make plans for a church building. On March 20, two months later, they decided on a building 32 feet by 48 feet with a basement, at an estimated cost of $2,350. The lot was donated by Mr. Dunton at the corner of Dunton and Eastman Streets. On the following September 24, the
