Primitive Methodists.- The first services of this denomination
were held in the log house of Samuel Clark, Section 15, in
September, 1844, the Rev. Samuel Marsden preaching. Services
were afterward held at different private houses by the Rev.
Marsden and Rev. James Wileman, and Rev. James Noble, local
preachers. A church was first built in 1847 on Section 10. The
first members were  Samuel C. Marsden, John Slater, Joseph
Noble and Joseph Slinn and their families, also Messrs. James
Wileman and Job Bunting. The first regular minister was Rev.
James Alderson, then the Revs. Hazle, Samuel Teal, Thomas
Strut, Charles Dawson, William Tomkins, George Parker, William
Wells, Thomas Butterwick, George W. Wells, T.A. Cliff, Charles
Dawson, J.W. Fox, Chris Hendre, and John Kalf. In 1866,
seventy-six of the members , with there minister, George W.
Wells, withdrew, and united with the Methodist Episcopal
Church, leaving but sixteen members to their creed. These
remaining few, in 1871, by their united efforts, built the
present handsome brick church on Section 11. It is 32x45 feet
