Complete layout of church property in Deed Book 257, Page 183. Notes from "The Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom" by Harold W. Wilson, 1954, on the history of Hermitage Presbyterian Church During Dr. Strickler's pastorate, in 1877 the session [of Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church] conferred on "the establishment of a Sunday School at Hermitage chapel" and the following year reported on "Sabbath Schools," presumably including the new school at Hermitage. In the following spring, "Mr. David Bell…was appointed Superintendent of the Sabbath School at Hermitage Chapel." The chapel referred to was the Union Chapel at Hermitage, located two hundred yards from the present Hermitage Church. Mr. Samuel Life donated, on January 13, 1880, a plot of two acres including the beautiful site on which the church was later to be constructed. This land was part of the David M. Bell estate. There was added in 1901 the cemetery lot at the back of this property. In the pastorate of Rev. J. A. Preston, the church was constructed on this site. It is said to have been begun in 1885. Mr. John Brower took charge of hewing the log sills, and the skill of his hands is clearly evident. The faithful efforts of Messrs. Samuel Life, William Ross, Hamilton T. Drumheller, C. Benton Coiner and others went into the structure. It is assumed from the session meeting in the "new church" at Hermitage, September 25, 1887, that the church was completed prior to that date.
