The frame church which now welcomes the surrounding populace of Yorkana within its doors was 
built by the Evangelical Association in the year 1867.  The first trustees were Joshua Heindel 
and Philip Mitzel.  Another church stood upon the same site for forty years.  At present a 
large Sunday-school regularly meets here.  Rev. E. Crumbling is pastor of Millersville Circuit, 
including this and other churches.  B. Frank Beard is superintendent of the Sunday-school.  The 
church membership is eight-five, and the number of pupils in the Sunday-school is 150.
