- W1497679312 abstract "The name Bethel has been applied to three different church buildings in the locality of the present structure. The first was the earliest Methodist church in Daviess County and it was built of logs. It was located west of the present state highway No. 57, south of the Miller farm and west of Mr. Osha's place.1 A cemetery was started near the old church and a few graves are still marked. Mrs. Julia Peek remembers seeing the ruins of the old building long after it had been abandoned. This church was probably erected between 1814, when the Rev. John Shrader of Vincennes conducted services in the settlement,2 and 1817, when the Missouri Conference was held in the old log church.8 Meetings were probably held in the homes of members of the congregation prior to the erection of this first church. During the period of the log church, circuit riders and. local preachers frequently held Methodist services in the Horrall school-house which stood near where Ralph Stafford now lives. These services were especially popular because the church was relatively far from the homes of many of the members and at times hard to reach on account of the con dition of the roads. In 1839, the construction of the second church was be gun. The site of the old log church was abandoned because churches had been built at Maysville and in Washington and a more central location for the congregation was sought farther south5 in Section 15, Tp. 2 N., R.7 W.e This building was completed in 1840. It is said that Anson Johnson made and shaved all of the shingles for this church by hand, riving them with a frow and shaving them with a drawing knife. The leaders in the movement for the erection of this building were members of the Horrall, Johnson, Wallace, Thomas, Peek and Chapman families. In addition, Wm. Ellis, Per menas Palmer, John Batchelor, George Houts, Hezekiah" @default.
