Methodist Episcopal Societies. - The oldest of these is the church at South Athol, which was probably organized about the year 1830. Their house of worship was erected in 1836, and Mrs. Melatia Crossman has now iu her possession the builder's contract. This is an agreement between nine trustees and two carpenters to build a church forty-two by thirty-two feet and fifteen feet from top of sill to plate. The lumber was to be furnished by the trustees, and the doors, windows, sashes and blinds by the contractors. Forty-four pews were to be built " after the style of the Orthodox Church of Athol." The lumber was furnished by subscription, and the contractors were to receive three hundred dollars for their work. At present there are thirty-six pews in this church.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Athol, Massachusetts, 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.
