Prior to this date this demonination had no regular houses of worship, but held their meetings in the dwelling houses of the members. Funeral services were also held in dwelling houses, therefore there were scattered local grave yards started in many sections. In 1881 this church built 4 church houses (generally called meeting houses) One at Niverton, one near Summit Mills and two in Garrett Co. Md. Cemeteries were soon started at all of these churches, where practically all of their interments are now made.
