Named in the 1862 county history

The history of Knox County was published 47 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The Methodist Episcopal church, located near j the south line of the township, was organized about | 1830; though many years before this the denom- i ination had itinerant ministers through the town- ; ship, who preached in the cabins of the settlers and \ in the old log school-house, in the open air, or ] wherever they could get an audience. The original members of this church, or some of them, were j John Durbin and wife, Stephen Cole and wife, A. H. Royce and wife, Isaac Cole and wife, and some j others. The Coles were prominent, and donated j the land upon which the present church stands. ! Before the church was erected the society met j at the cabin of Mr. Royce, and in the school- \ house. Their first church edifice was erected !

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Centerburg, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
