Services were conducted in a log schoolhouse which stood near the present church, until the latter was erected in 1855 at a cost of $1,100. The leading early members were: Jefferson Cousins, James TINGLEY, William Houtz, Joseph Shaffer and Jacob Wheeland. This society has a present membership of about forty, and is a part of Deckard Run Circuit, which was formed from a part of Sugar Lake Circuit in 1880, and has since had the following pastors: 1880, J.W. Lewis; 1881-82, W. Robinson; 1883, E.E. Belden." That's all for this surname! Kathy Brubaker Volunteer Genealogist Linesville Historical Society kbrbkr@toolcity.net
