In 1860 Alexander Semple became pastor of the Shelbyville church, with a membership of 80. During the year C. C. Scovil offered $500 to be used in building a new church to cost $3.000.
In 1861 R. W. Travis, presiding elder, and R. Holding, was preacher in charge. The mem- bership of the church had grown to 125 and 56 probationers. Mr. Holding was re-appointed in 1862, but resigned during the year to become a chaplain in the army. The unexpired year was supplied by A. C. Vandewater.
In 1863 S. S. McGinnis was appointed to Shelbyville, and re-appointed in 1864.
In 1865 Allen Buckner became presiding elder, and W. N. MeElroy, now presiding ekler of Jacksonville district, became pastor of Shelby- ville church, and remained two years. These were years of prosperity for the church. A two- story brick church was built on Main street, and the membership was increased to 190.
From 1867 to 1876 the following pastors were in charge of Shelbyville church, viz. : John B. Ford, two years: Wm. Reed, one year : R. N. Davies, three years : Alexander Semple re- turned for a second term and remained two years. In 1875 Wm. Stevenson became pastor and remained three years.
