PINE GROVE CHURCH – Page 723

Pine Grove Church is located about three miles south of York, east of the Baltimore 
Turnpike, in York Township.  Reis H. Althouse and Benjamin Hengst were the first 
ministers of this church to preach in the vicinity.  The religious services which 
they conducted were held in a school house.  A very comfortable and convenient 
church was built some years ago.  A Sunday-school of ninety-five members regularly 
meets in it, and is superintended by Rev. G. Jackson.
