In regard to the earlier history of this church we get the following facts fromllayden's "History of the Disciples on the Western Reserve." It was first established in North Eaton. Mrs. Chloe Tucker, who came to Eaton from Windham, in 1833, while visiting her native place in 1840, entreated a young preacher of the church, by the name of M. J. Streator, to come to Eaton and conduct a series of meetings. He came in October of that year. Meetings were held at the brick school house and resulted in the conversion of two sons of Mrs. Tucker. Meetings were again held by Mr. Streator in March following, and also in October, 1843, when an organization was effected, with a membership of twentyfive. J. D. Swift was api>ointed overseer, and J. A. Fei'guson, deacon. In the fall of 1843 the location of the church was changed to the center, on which occasion Jared Patchen was chosen overseer, and Chester Cooley, deacon. In 1845 the church building was erected. J. D. Benedict, formerly a Baptist minister, then a lawyer filling the position of prosecuting attorney for Lorain county, officiated at the opening of this church. The congregation increased until a larger house was reipiired and in the fall of 18G3 a new edifice was erected at the center. Brother J. H. Jones, chaplain of the Forty-second regiment Ohio volunteers, under Colonel (iarlield, condiictud the dedicatory service. The church continues to he pros})erous, having at ]ireseiita membership of one hundred and fiftyfive. Brother W. H. Scott is the resident preacher. S. M. Streator, A. Rollin, and R. Hinkley are overseers, and A. Dawloy and R. Haven, deacons. It also has a Sabbath school of about one hundred and fifty scholars, of which James Robinson is superintendent.

Streator, by whom it was established in the spring of 1870, witli a capital of about two thousand dollars. It is much less now, owing to depreciation of property. The building was erected in 1871.
