First Baptist Church
1952
The First Baptist Church of Galveston was organized on July 12, 1868, when 26 brothers and sisters of the Deer Creek Baptist Church, dismissed by letter from that church, met in the school house in Galveston and organized the Galves- ton Baptist Church. Until this time, the Deer Creek Church which was located about 31/2 miles east of town in Miami County, was the closest church of the denomination to the town. Elder B. R. Ward, of the Deer Creek Church, was chosen Moderator and Wm. Thomas, Clerk.
In August of 1869, a council composed of delegates from several neighboring Baptist Churches met and recognized the new church as sound in faith and doctrine. The church was established with 29 constituent members. Immediately after its recognition in 1868, the church took steps toward the erection of a house of worship. On the first Sabbath in January, 1870, eighteen months after the organization, a neat and substan- tial brick house was dedicated to the Lord. Later in 1894, a parsonage was built.
A few years after the erection of the church, a tornado struck, doing much damage to the structure. By 1902, with the building so weakened by the storm, it was decided that it would be unwise to make any more repairs to the old building. Work was started on the wrecking of the building, but bad weather delayed the work until the next year. In the meantime, the church met in the K of P Hall for regular services. A dis- astrous fire destroyed the Hall, in October of 1903, along with all the records and documents of the church as well as much of the church furniture. From this time until the new Church was finished, services were held on a half-time basis in the Methodist Church. The new church was dedicated on Sunday, March 20, 1904. For several years this was the largest building in town and was used for all public meetings, including high school commencements. The seating capacity is about 450. In 1948 the basement of the church was complete- ly remodeled and enlarged. Many of the activities of the church are held in this area.
The church has had two parsonages in its history. The present parsonage was purchased in 1951. Rever- end B. R. Ward was the first pastor and his congregation started with 29 members. The present pastor is Jack Arnold, and his church has 145 resident members and many non-resident ones. George Hicks is Moder- ator, and Harold Stafford and Dorotha Williams are Superintendents of the Senior and Junior Sunday Schools, respectively.

Evangelical United Bretheran Church 1952
This is one of the oldest religious societies in Gal- veston, and was organized in 1856 by Rev. Fletcher Thomas and Eli Hoover. The following were the charter members: Daniel Myers, Allen Crisler, Creel Crisler, Noah Ault, James Cooper, Wm. Ault, Eliza- beth Crisler, Jane Crisler, Jacob Emerick, Elizabeth Emerick, Mary McCree, Jesse Ault, Mr. and Mrs. George Weaver, Richard Swank, Jane Swank, Kath- erine Meyer, Delilah Cooper, Simon Gurges, David and Lewis Davison, and families.
Meetings were held in the school house until 1857 when a commodious frame church 40 x 50 feet was erected in the western half of the village at the cost of $900. This old frame building was replaced in 1901 by the present brick building with an ex- penditure of $5,000. In 1918 during the pastorate of Rev. J. C. Bailey, a series of improvements were made to the church which included a new basement under the entire building with kitchen and lava- tories. The auditorium was redecorated and electric lights were installed at the same time. A shower sponsored by the Ladies' Bible Class furnished the basement kitchen with dishes and cooking utensils.
A Sunday School was organized in 1858 and has been maintained to the present time. The present enrollment is between 85 and 100, with Eldon Shrock as Superintendent; Don Crites, Assistant; Kathleen Greer, Secretary; and Frank McDonald, Treasurer. The teachers are Mrs. Lulu Couk, Lawr- ence McDonald, Mrs. Minnie McDonald, Mrs. Herm- an Schroll, Mrs. Betty Schrock, Mrs. Florence Hod- son, Mrs. Marjorie Hardin, Mrs. Mary Mote, and Mrs. Alta Ammerman.
A long list of ministers have served as pastors to the church since its organization, - some for a period of two years and some for several years. In the last few years the church has undergone some definite sorrows and misfortunes in the loss of two of our pastors. Rev. J. W. Berkert, who had been with us almost three years, died in 1941. Rev. C. L. Carmichael, who followed Rev. Berkert, served only
a short time until his death in 1943. On October 22, 1944, during the pastorate of Rev. Walter House, while preparations for home-coming were being made, the interior of the church was badly damaged by fire. Services were held in the Universalist Church during the remodeling.
Rev Gerald Geiger succeeded Walter House, and Rev. Kenneth Hostetler, the present minister, came to the Galveston - Otterbein charge in September, 1950.

Galveston Methodist Church 1952
The first record of Methodism in this community is that of the work done by the Rock Creek Mission. A Rev. Burnes was one of the earliest Missionaries. His work took in Greentown, Kokomo, and what is now Galveston, although at that time not a step had been taken to reclaim the fertile spot from its pri- meval solitude.
A man by the name of Kemp had a double log house two miles west on the creek, that was used as a place of worship. It was at this place that Brother A. B. Rule first attended church when he came here from Virginia in 1845. When G. W. Davis moved to Galveston, he found a little struggling class composed partly of the following members: Benjamin F. Benny and wife, William Harbert and wife, Mrs. Marie Strock, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Fox. A revival was being held at that time in a newly built warehouse. The organization had no church, but worshipped wherever they could find a door of an old school house or a deserted dwelling open, would stay as long as permitted and then seek new quar- ters until the United Brethern Church was finished and the two organizations worked together for a number of years.
In 1873, they built a church of their own which satisfied their needs for a number of years. The material progress of the church was still further demonstrated in 1899, when they saw fit to modern- ize their building and after this effort they had the finest interior arrangement possible. The church was entering an era of still greater possibilities when the disastrous fire of August, 1901, leveled all that the sacrifice and prayers of former years had been able to accomplish. The cornerstone of this new church was laid September 29, 1901, by Rev. L. Naftsger, of Kokomo, assisted by Rev. R. Semans, of Greentown, Rev. J. Canse of Bunker Hill, and Rev. Arthur Gates the pastor in charge.
The Methodist Sunday School is under the able leadership of Robert Sprinkle. There are eight or- ganized classes with the following teachers:
Beginners - Sue Smith, Mrs. Ross Cornell
Primary - Mrs. Robert Sprinkle
Junior Jumping Jacks - Mrs. Frederick McCoy, Mrs. Lee Scott.
Teen Timers - Mrs. Charles Hunt, Mrs. I. L. Brown
Progressive - Phillip Peterson
True Blue - Mrs. Norman Wisler, Harley Wilson
Eleanors - Mrs. Ben Martin
Mippahs - Mrs. William Ault
The Junior Church under the leadership of Mrs. Robert Sprinkle and assisted by Mrs. Gene Wining- er and Miss Mary McBeth, boasts a membership of forty children between the ages of two and twelve. The Women's Society for Christian Service has a registered membership of fifty, but includes all women and girls of the church in its varied activ- ities.
Much progress has been made in the Methodist Church since its beginning. A few years ago an ex- tensive alteration took place which included a new
modern heating system, new class rooms, visual education projector and an electric organ. All of this contributes toward making Galveston a better place in which to live. On the Board of Trustees are Charles Rothwell, Granville Walker, Frederick Mc- Coy, Harley Wilson, Robert Sprinkle, and Merle Kile.

Galveston's American Legion
1952
The American Legion OTTO H SCOTT POST 282, was organized around the 20th of March, 1920. The name for this post was derived from the first man to give his life in World War I for his country, Otto H. Scott.
The first meeting place of this post was the C. F. Thomas Building, now occupied by the Hostetler Shoe Store. H. S. Chamness was the first Com- mander, Leslie Hardin the first adjutant and Earl McDonald, the Chaplin. This post was finally deac- tivated in 1924. However, after deactivation, the former members of the post continued to stage Me- morial Day Services and helped with funeral rites. The following were Charter Members of this post:

The Scott-Lambert Post 415 of the American Legion was organized May 18, 1946, at the Galves- ton City Building. The name of the post was derived from the first two men who gave their lives in the respective World Wars, Otto Scott in World War I and John Lambert in World War II.
A membership of 47 elected Walter Hicks com- mander in 1946, and their main activities of that year were organizational work and the securing of a temporary home. Thus, the K P Hall was rented and became the first home of the post. The member- ship increased to 72 in 1947 and C. R. Bahler was selected as the new head. A car was raffled off, and the proceeds were placed in the building fund. In 1948 the membership had not changed, and W. F. Zehring was chosen as Commander. This year was
devoted to a drive raising money to erect lights at the ball field. The membership had increased to 140 by 1949, and with C. L. Noel as commander the Legion bought their present home.
Since 1950, W. W. DeMoss, Russell Spence and Estie Bell, respectively, have headed the post as the Legion worked to reduce the home debt.
The post has regularly conducted Memorial Day exercises and helped with many funerals since ac- tiviation. The following is a list of the 1952 mem- bership:

The modern history of newspapers started when Sam E. Thurston and Alban C. Davis purchased the subscription list of the GALVESTON SUN from J. E. Conner in April of 1897. The first edition of the LEADER was published on March 4, 1897. Mr. Thurston announced, in an early edition, that the paper was here to stay, and undoubtedly he meant every word of it as an issue has been printed con- tinually each week up to the present time. Thurston sold the LEADER to R. C. Holman, September 5, 1942. Mr. Holman edited and published the paper until 1948, and at that time sold a half interest to Jack Cushing. Holman and Cushing successfully published the paper up and to February 8, 1952 when the paper was sold to David E. and Jean Petrie.
For all practically purposes it can be said, that the editorial policy of the paper was established in the first issue of the LEADER and reads as follows: THE GALVESTON LEADER March 4. 1887
With the first number of the GALVESTON LEAD- ER we make our bow to those we hope will be the patrons of the LEADER. We are aware that we are entering upon a field that is already strewn with the works of many of our predecessors; but, we are here to do our best. To treat all with genuine courtesv. We shall labor to advocate those prin- ciples that will tend to the betterment of mankind, to the uplifting of humanity and to the securing of all that is good and enabling. In politics the LEAD- ER will be non-partisian, but shall aim to labor for the good of all and the best interest of our town and surrounding country.
It will be our aim to greet you each week with a bright and newsy local paper, advocating the cause of all; always aiming to do all the good we can for the people of Galveston and community, and if we can do them no good, always keeping from saying or doing that which will work harm to any of our citizens or the business interests of our little city.
SAM E. THURSTON
Galveston needs a newspaper, and we need the hearty support of her citizens to help us make the LEADER what it should be, a great success. We re- peat that Galveston needs a newspaper and a paper that is printed at a home office, thereby insuring them that what money is expended in the print shop will revert back to them through the channel of trade. So let us all work together, one and all, work as one man, each putting his shoulder to the wheel and help push it forward, and never for an instant, let it fall back to its old rut, the place where it started. It will, of course, be impossible for us to run a paper to suit each and every one, but it will be our aim to do our very best to meet the ap- proval of the general public and their hearty sup- port and good will.
Our columns will always be open for each and every person that has an article to contribute for the betterment and uplifting of mankind of our community, which we will always be very glad to receive. All articles contributed to us must always contain the full signature of the writer. We do not want the name for publication, but merely as an assurance of good faith. There will be a rule that we will always strictly adhere to without any ex- ceptions whatever. Please do not send us items of the nature of personal attacks or abuse, for our aim will be to keep from abusing anyone, and we will not publish any article of this nature, we will see that it promptly and speedily finds its proper place - in the waste basket.
Thanking you in advance for the good will and patronage that we feel certain that we will receive from you, by our earnest and hard labor we will leave you to be the judge of the merits or the de- fects of the LEADER.
We beg you to remain,
Respectfully yours, Sam E. Thurston Alban C. Davis
