Would this be the church that was built on the old home site of Jacob and Alice Jane (Burch) Post? I believe it was on the "Thomas" corner. If so Jacob and Alice were my great-great grandparents. I just wondered if you found mention of them in your search. Thanks Debra Hayes Brodbeck Linda Kmiecik wrote: > Today at the Macoupin Co.

Debra, I have no idea what preceded the Brethren Church on its location at Dean St. and Finis St. in Virden. The legal description includes Lots 2, 3, & 6 in Block 29 in Hickox addition to the town, now city, of Virden. Three deeds recorded together on the 19th of October 1911 appear consecutively in Deed Book 251, pages 500-501.
