According to an obit for my uncle it is just called the "Monmouth Methodist Church" (That was in 1964) But it had been called the Monmouth Methodist Episcopal Church. My grandparents lived next to it for many years after they quit farming. In fact the piano in it was my grandmothers - wish I had it back! This church is still there and active. A letter to the church with the address of Monmouth, IA with the zip code should get it there. Here is a little additional info. Perhaps others can add to it or correct it if necessary: There was a Methodist church which dated back to 1853 in LaMotte. It became a Lutheran Church in 1914. There was a Methodist Episcopal Church in Andrew - organized in 1843. Andrew had a Methodist Church erected in 1849. Maquoketa had the "First Methodist Episcopal Church". Organized with a few members in 1836. First church was build in 1850 on Pleasant and Olive Streets. A new church was build 1875 on Maple and Second Streets. In 1889 on Maple St a Free Methodist Church was built.
