>From a reprint of the Oskaloosa Independent 15 March 1890: "McLOUTH 1890. "The first church building in the town was erected by the Methodist Society in 1883. Its membership is small, being only about 40. Rev J W Roberts is the present pastor. The Dunkard society also occupy the pulpit in this church, every fourth Sunday in each month, elder David Kimmel pastor...." The rest of the article about McLouth churches deals with the UB church, which wasn't deemed small, since it had 56 members and had "a very commodious and well-arranged building" of its own. Jan
