The congregation, which
is known by the above appellation, was duly organized during the year 1850,
with some 22 members, among whom were several members of the Hainline family.
These met in the various school houses in the district, in the vicinity,
until 1875, when they erected the neat church building, which they now
occupy, on the southwest quarter of section 17, in Hire township. This
edifice, which is 30x46 feet in size, was put up at an expense of $2,000,
and is substantially built, and well furnished.
