This humble dwelling was torn down many years ago, and the site occupied by the more stately mansion of S. D. Mcintosh. For several years, the meetings of the congregation were held in the old log schoolhouse built by Deer Creek Township in the winter of 1828-29, which served the pm-pose of a meeting-place in its time for not only the religious organizations, but for all congi'egations, whether for secular or other piu'poses.
