    3. I submit this information, although it is very incomplete, in hope that someone will know something and be able to help me make it more detailed. Robert Webb O T T E R C R E E K C H U R C H Woodburn, Clarke County, Iowa Otter Creek Church, an early member of the Western Association, was organized on Saturday before the third Sunday in November 1861, in the northwest corner of Clarke County, with six charter members. Elder John A. Whiteley and others assisted in the constitution. By March 1862, William Lafollett, a member of the church, wrote that the membership had grown to 12. References to the location of this church indicate it also met part of the time in Warren County, Iowa. The meetings were probably held in the homes of the members. Elder William Morphew united with the church in 1867, and was ordained to the ministry here in 1868. He served the church as pastor until 1885, when he removed to Missouri. The church probably ceased to exist about that time. H A R M O N Y C H U R C H Indianola, Warren County, Iowa Harmony Church was organized by Elder J. M. Jaillite, and others, who were dismissed by letter for that purpose from Middle River Church (where he had joined in 1858). The date of its constitution or location of its meetings have not yet been ascertained. In 1875 Elder Jaillite was living at Indianola; and Elder T. D. Kearney, of Adelphi, Iowa, was also a member of this church at that time. After Harmony Church dissolved, Elder Jaillite united with Ebenezer Church in Mahaska County, Iowa. F R I E N D S H I P C H U R C H Liberty Center, Warren County, Iowa Friendship Church, at Liberty Center, Iowa, was organized in 1886. Elder Andrew J. Goforth was one of the founders. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!
