BIBLIOGRAPHY.
Manuscripts.
Journal of the Western Conference (1800-1811) and Journal of the Ohio Conference (1812-1839), in two fairly well preserved manuscript volumes, in the possession of the Ohio Methodist Historical Society, in the library of Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio.
Journal of the Indiana Conference (1832-1844), a finely preserved manuscript volume, belonging to the North Indiana Conference, now in the library of De- Pauw University.
Considerable manuscript material, relating to local churches and circuits, has been available for this study, including the Quarterly Conference Records of the Fall Creek Circuit from 1828; the Quarterly Confer- ence Records of the Crawfordsville station from 1835; manuscript material relating to the founding and his- tory of DePauw University, in the office of the treas- urer of the university; some of the records of the old Silver Creek Circuit, the first complete circuit in Indi- ana, found at the Charlestown Methodist Episcopal Church, the earliest record being dated February 23, 1810.
Much other material of this kind is also available, of more or less importance, every church possessing records, many of which, however, are meager and in- complete. An attempt has been made to collect this material, so that it can more easily be used, and a sur- vey of the North Indiana Conference has been organ- ized. This Conference appointed a Conference His- torian in the person of Dr. H. N. Herrick, now de-

ceased, and also county historians were appointed, who were to write up the history of every Methodist Church in the county. Among these county historians who have turned in material are Rev. C. H. Smith, for Han- cock county; Mr. F. A. Walker, Esq., for Madison county ; I. W. Krider, for Cass county ; Rev. J. E. Ervin, for Delaware county; Captain M. B. Willis, for De- Kalb county ; Mrs. M. E. Kiblinger, for Noble county ; Rev. H. J. Norris, for Randolph county; Mr. R. S. Truitt, for Hamilton county; Dr. J. M. Moulder, for Howard county; Rev. B. G. Shinn, for Blackford county ; Rev. J. B. Cook, for Kosciusko county ; Mr. W. E. Mowbray, Esq., for Miami county. The other county historians appointed for the remaining counties in the Conference are Rev. W. J. Myers, Adams county ; O. E. Mohler, Allen county ; Prof. D. W. Thomas, Elk- hart county ; Charles E. Neal, Esq., Grant county ; Dr. J. W. White, Henry county ; Dr. W. C. Chaffee, Hunt- ington county ; A. T. Place, Jay county ; G. C. Morgan, Lagrange county ; Rev. G. H. Hill, Marion county ; Mrs. W. E. Butterworth, St. Joseph county; Mrs. Frank Wier, Steuben county; Mr. M. W. Pershing, Tipton county ; Mrs. A. F. Ebbinghouse, Wabash county ; Rev. O. S. Harrison, Wayne county ; Prof. P. A. Allen, Wells county, and Rev. C. W. Shoemaker, Whitley county.
The Northwest Indiana Conference also passed res- olutions looking toward the appointment of county his- torians by the district superintendents, but this survey, so far, has resulted in the investigation of but one county-Benton county-by Rev. J. E. McCloud.
Dr. Herrick before his death had compiled a com- plete appointment record for the North Indiana Con- ference, and had also put in rough form his first chap- ter for his intended History of the North Indiana Con- ference. Dr. Herrick's manuscript has been drawn upon in this study, and in some instances has given valuable assistance.
