TOWN OF RATHBONE. 



385 



E. Cole, Steward. Among the early members of the 

 Methodist Episcopal Church in the town of Rathbone, 

 besides those mentioned above, were Martin B. Young and 

 wife, Mrs. James Young, John H. Soper, Mrs. Israel Per- 

 sons, Lewis H. Bridgeman, and others, who in 1850 joined 

 in building a large edifice in the village of Bathboneville, 

 where the population and business of the town then cen- 

 tred. James H. Miles, Lewis H. Bridgeman, Ira Martin, 

 Lewis Crawford, Martin B. Young, J. H. Soper, and Wil- 

 liam D. Smith were the trustees. The ground was donated 

 by Gen. Ransom Rathbone. The usual difficulty of col- 

 lecting subscriptions and paying for material was avoided 

 by giving John Toles the subscription for building the 

 church complete. At its dedication, in 1850, this was one 

 of the finest churches in the charge, and its meetings were 

 well sustained by the inhabitants of the surrounding coun- 

 try. This church is finely situated on an elevation over- 

 looking the town, and is joined by a handsome parsonage. 

 In 1874 the Rathboneville charge was formed from parts 

 of Woodhull and Rathbone, and includes the Cole school- 

 house, Hedgesville, and Rathboneville. The class-leaders 

 have been James H. Miles, George W. Young, Lewis 

 Gokey, A. F. Timerman, and the present leader, Joseph 

 Burlingame; Rev. William Bartle is pastor ; John H. Mas- 

 ten, Recording Steward; Northrup P. Young and John 

 Dewel, Stewards; Osman S. Whitmore, N. P. Young, and 

 John H. Masten, Trustees. The present membership is 

 67, including 20 at the Cole school-house. Rev. William 

 Bartle is pastor of the Rathboneville Church, and Rev. J. 

 H. Blades is pastor of the Town-Line Church; both of 

 which organizations are well sustained.
