OLIVE BILLING WRITES ABOUT CHURCH

Hagerstown, Indiana, May 8, 1916. Editor Junior Palladium, Richmond, Indiana. Sir: Below is a historical sketch of "The First Church in Jefferson Township," which I would like to have published In "The Junior Palladium." When in 1728 the Brethren or Dunkers, as they were .called, were persecuted in Germany they mi grated to Pennsylvania. After a while they came to Indiana They built a small church at Four Mile, Fayette county, Indiana. As their membership increased they felt the need of a church near the center of the community where the members lived. Therefore in the years 1845 and 1846 they built a central church. It was located one mile west and almost ' one-half ; mile v south ' of Hagerstown, Indiana. It was about five rods from the road in what is now: . part of the cemetery. . ' The southwest corner was where Elias Hoover's monument now stands: The land was bought oft of the farm then owned by Samuel Eiler, but now belonging to William Stout. The church was a large brick buildingflfty by ninety feet- The ceiling was twelve feet from the floor. The- foundation and walls were of brick. It had a shingle roof. There were eight windows on each side, two in one end and four in the . other. Each window had two shutters. The church had " three outside entrances. - The main entrance was in the center of the south side of the main room. A door in the north-east corner was used -only in communion time and big meeting, which was once a year. The other door was in the north side. Two rooms were taken off the east end of the church. One was twelve by thirty-three feet It was used as a kitchen. A large fire place with two kettles hanging in it was" used to cook the meat Steps went from this room Into a cellar twelve feet square. It,, was used as a storeroom. The other room, was twelve by seventeen feet. Provisions ' for communion were kept in it The remainder of the building was in one large room, fifty by seventy-eight feet It seated about six hundred. The first seats were planks with pegs driven1 in them for legs. During commun ion service trestles with boards laid on them were used as tables. When these were not in use they were stacked in a corner of the church. Afterwards they had some of the benches' made with a board as a back supported by two posts. The church was heated by two plain, heavy, cast Iron stoves. They were In the center of the house, about twenty feet from each end. The stove pipes came together In a big drum in the center of the ceiling. The preacher stood under this drum. For lights wooden bowls were suspended from the ceiling by cords. Wires were fastened into the bowls. On the end of each was mm A 11 J1 . a holder lor one lauow canuie. . 6. Because it Is, high bread. 7. Because it is charged, taken up and then let off. - 8. Because visitors prefer Cowes to Ryde, (cows to ride.) New Riddles. Why are sailors bad horsemen? Why is buttermilk like something that never happened. 'Why is a barn-door owl sitting on a gate like a penny? Why Is a man searching for the philosopher's stone like Neptune? Why is the nose placed in the middle of the face? What is most like a hen stealing? Why should a cabman be brave? What letter made Queen Bess mind her P's and Q's? Why is it an insult to a cocksparrow to mistake him for a pheasant? . What.is it that, from which the whole may be taken, and yet some remain?

There were six of the lamps in the main room. Each one held six candles. The membership of the church at that time was about four hundred. This church was best known as the "Old Dunkard Meet

ing House." It was the first church In Jefferson township, and also the second Brethren church in he state or Indiana. The first board of trustees were Abraham Replogle, Jacob Metzger and Daniel Hardman. The church was first placed in charge of Elder David Miller. The first Sunday school in the Nettle Creek congregation was organized in August 1868, in this church. ' Frederick Dilling was the first superintendent; Samuel Wine, assistant, and L. W. Teetor was secretary. This was " one of the first Sunday schools in the Brother hood. The annual conference was held in this church in 1864. Elder John Kline of Virginia was moderatpr. He made the journey all the way on horseback. He was killed by bush-whackers soon after he arrived at his home. This church had been in use about twenty-nine years when the foundation was found to be giving away in the northeast corner. This injured the walls so much that in the spring of 1847 It was torn down and the present church was bUllt.. , ' J- . ,; X This is a historical point because the first church in Jefferson township, which was also the second Brethren or Dunkard church in Indiana, was built on this spot. Also because it 'was a very large church for the time it was built. I For these reasons I think it should be marked by the citizens , of Wayne county. . ' OLIVE H. DILLING, ' -Age 13 years.

She has oak planking and was a sturdy vessel in her prime. Capt. Bayne is 70 years old and was a member of the Hall expedition which searched for Franklin in 1869. In the late 90's Capt.
