In the spring of 1876, 61 years ago, Rev. Shepherd was the pastor of the Weslyan Methodist Church in the village of Plattsville. ‘The church was small, and of a frame structure, situated in the Northern part of the village. The parsonage was in the house now owned by ‘Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Brown. ‘The general condition o: the church was such that it was nwot suited to the needs of the conâ€" gregation it served. Rev. Shepherd commenced an agitation for a new church. He discussed it with the peoâ€" ple, spoke of the need from the pu} / pit and he made many of the initial | steps in the direction of a new . church. At the Conference of the ‘Wesleyan Methodist church that year Rev. Shepherd® was moved from â€" Plattsville and his successor. ‘Rev. Tucker assumed his new work in July. The church project was al . ready well discussed and during the summer of 1876 operations comâ€" menced on the site for a new church. The present United Church was completed late in the year 1876. Church Built in 1876 It is very interesting to recall some . of the foremen that worked on this building and some other men also. Among the leadgrs who represented the Building Committee and were on the board of the church were: Mr. Jerry Kilburn, Mr. Joseph Leader, Mr. John Workman, ‘Mr. Ephraim Moâ€", theral. The contractor was Mr. Kautâ€" man, who was then manager of the! furniture factory, and many of the | men from the factory worked on the | church. Mr. Church wase the fore | man of the carpenters, Mr. (}ullen-I boro the foreman of the painters. | Mr. ‘William Westman, foreman of the mason work and Mr. iChas. Canarethe foreman of the plasteu.! Local men of the village assisted in the work and two are stlll living: Mr. Milne Sr., and Mr. Shosenberg. Dedicated in 1877 It was early in January of the folâ€"| lowing year when the church was' opened for public worship, and was duly dedicated to God for such pur-! poses. iRev. Ives of New York, was the guest speaker and was asslstedi by :Rev. Tucker, the pastor of the church. On Sunday evening the church was declared free of debt, and the congregation was happy in that they had a suitable place in which to worship and carry on their various organizations. Some of the subscripâ€" tions were not fully paid which left a debt for the congregation but in due time it was all paid. It is inâ€" teresting to know that Mrs. Vroom was the organist at the time and Mr. Workman was the Sunday School ‘Superintendent. Two Methodist Churches In the village of Plattsville during those years there were the newly built Wesleyan (Methodist Church and a Primitive ‘Methodist iChurch, with. two resident ministers, The ministers in the Primitive church used as a parsonage the house now owned ‘by Mre. Farrow and their church was situated where the home of Mrs. Johnnie Poor now stands. In the year 18983 union was consumâ€" ated between these two Methodist bodies. At a special meeting of the General Conferenc held in Belleville the new Methodist Church came into being, with Rev. Dr. Rice as Genera) Superintendent and Rev. Dr. Carman as assistant, one for a term of cight years and the other for a term of four years. in the local church in Plattsville Rev.

She had told Mary she was tired out and would.go to bed. After Sarah had gone, Mary had the living room to herself. Quiet reigned where there had been bustle and confusion all day. Aunt Nettle had at last been forced to retire beâ€" cause of aches and weariness. Mary slipped out into the garden and sat down on a bench. She was weary, and a dull ache filled her.
