Would someone more knowable than me on the Iowa churches please help me out. I am looking for information on two churches that once were active in Southern District of Iowa. The first one is Adams Co. church it shows up in the Southern Iowa District meeting minutes by 1876 and lasted listed in 1887. For all these year it was not represented or was represented by letter only at the district meetings. I think this may have been a early name for the Mt Etna church, but I have not been about to find any reference to this. The second church was the Pleasant Ridge church which was listed in the Southern Iowa District meeting minutes from 1883 to 1891 and represent by Isaac Barto. Then in 1892 the Pleasant Ridge and Nishna (Nishney) Valley churches were listed together and represent by Isaac Barto. In 1893 a request was made to consolidate Pleasant Ridge and Nishna (Nishney) Valley churches into one church, which shall be called Nishna (Nishney) Valley church. The request was granted. I have church the Brethren Encyclopedia and the book History of the Church of the Brethren in South Iowa. Any help would be appreciated.
