THE WESLEYAN METHODIST CHURCH, 



organized in 1843, drew largely from the Methodist Epis- 

 copal Church in this place, taking all but 8 or 9 of its 40 

 members. The first officers were: Pastors, Rev. Simeon 

 Hall, Rev. P. A. Johnson, alternates; Class-Leader, A. 

 Bixby ; Stewards, W. Pierce, H. W. Bixby, Lemuel Well- 

 man ; Licentiates, John Bixby, Leander Pond. The organ- 

 ization took place with a revival, and above 40 members 

 were gathered in, among whom were Darius Whitney, Sid- 

 ney Ellesworth, Daniel Pierce and wife, Abram Whitney 

 and wife, and Daniel Bixby and wife. 



Former pastors: 1844-46, Rev. John Kitchell, Rev. S. 

 Philips; 1847-48, Leander Pond, licentiate; 1849-50, 

 no pastor; 1851-53, Rev. Peter Slauson ; 1854-56, Rev.

Meetings were held first in the Knowlton school-house, 

 and then at Hornby Forks, until 1851, when, in consider- 

 ation of aid extended by this society to build the Presby- 

 terian church, it was occupied by them on alternate Sun- 

 days. Several years after they left the church and held 

 services in school-houses, their numbers declining, and 

 being for some time without a pastor. 



On the 4th of March, 1877, Rev. L. N. Stratton offici- 

 ating, the Wesleyans dedicated their first church, at Shady 

 Grove, on Cutler Creek, at a paid-up expense of $1200.
