George, The Disciple Church has an interesting history. Linn's History, p. 340, gives an exhaustive account of the origins of this denomination in Central PA. Nathan J. Mitchell organized the first Disciples of Christ congregation in Howard in 1832. He was married to a sister of Gov. William F. Packer. The Disciples had no creed, but "claimed the Bible alone as their guiding star." The first church was built at Eagleville in 1832. This was replaced by the present church at Blanchard, erected in 1869, at a cost of nearly $11,000. In Allison Twp., the Disciple Church met in the old Methodist Church edifice, which it purchased. Before buying this building it had occasional preaching in the school-house for 12 or 15 years. The pastor in 1882 was Rev. C. S. Long, also pastor of Lock Haven Disciple Church. This is from Linns, p. 567. Hope this helps. Justin
