OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, MARYLAND.
The Christian Missionary Society of Mary- land, Delaware and District of Columbia con- vened with the church Oct. 1902. In latter years the church has suffered greatly through deaths and removals.
THE METHODIST CONGREGATION IN SHARPSBURG* was organized in the month of August 1811. The circumstances which led to the organization of this church are as follows: Some members of the family of Christian Beeler (deceased) of this place attended a Methodist Camp Meeting at Liberty, Frederick County, Md., some time during the summer of 1811. Whilst attending these meetings they were awakened to a sense of their lost condition, were happily con- verted and united with the church. A short time after their return home a minister of their per- suasion visited Sharpsburg and organized a Meth- odist Church, the first members being the Beeler family. Having no edifice they used the barn of Christian Beeler for meetings, during the summer months and resorted to private houses during the winter season. For a long time they used the old Reformed Church, which stood on the corner of the burial ground attached to the church.
Their first minister was Sergeant Lawrence Everhart, of Revolutionary fame, who served un- der General Washington. History informs us that on one occasion he saved Washington's life by riding between him and the enemy. He was a very enthusiastic minister and it is asserted that whilst in the height of his discourses he would cry out: "I fought for General Washington, Glory be to God !"
The first circuit preachers were Revs. Ham- mond and Towne. After that followed Revs. Swatzwelder, Matthews and Askins. The Meth- odists was the first in this place to hold revivals of religion. Nothing of the kind was ever known to the inhabitants before and this system was a new departure from the general order of worship, therefore it brought about persecutions. They were stoncd, spit upon, taunted and derided in every conceivable manner. Miss Catharine Knode (now deceased) a pious and devoted member of this church whilst going home from one of these meetings at night, had a severe gash cut in her
head with a stone. In spite of this unkind treat- ment, they persevered and trusted in God.
In the year 1818, a piece of ground was pur- chased, and a church built, a plain brick edifice. The dedicatory sermon was preached by Rev. Wil- liam Monroe who was then on the circuit. Begin- ning with the year 1831 the following are some of the ministers : Revs. Gibbons, Bear, Lyon, Par- ker, Monroe, Young, Goheen, Reese, Myers, Brooks, Bradds, Dyson, Prettyman, Parkerson, Cullum, Murphy and Mercer. The walls of the old church building giving way it was deemd un- safe to worship in, it was torn down and a piece of ground purchased from Peter Beeler on Main street and the corner-stone of the new church laid Oct. 20, 1856. The first sermon preached in it was by Rev. William Monroe, before the church was completed. It was on the funeral occasion of Mrs. Elizabeth Cronise, an aged lady, wife of George Cronise, (deceased), who was found dead in her bed. Rev. Monroe was a pious, devoted man of God, an efficient minister, and one beloved by all who knew him. He lived to a ripe old age and died at his home in Boonsboro and was buried in the cemetery of that place by La' Grange Lodge No. 36, I. O. O. F., of which he was an honored member.
During the Battle of Antietam, Sept. 17, 1862, the church was taken by Federal troops and used as a hospital, being filled with sick and wounded. The pews were torn out and converted into coffins for the deceased soldiers. In the year 1864 it was re-seated and re-dedicated and a cupola and bell added. In the year during the pastorate of Rev. C. A. Jones, an addition was built to the church and the interior remodeled, a handsome spire erected and an organ placed in tlie church. The building committee were: Rev. Charles A. Jones, G. Finley Smith, Joshna C. Wilson and Jacob Marker.
The graveyard belonging to this church was donated by Christian Beeler, and he was the first person buried in the yard. The following are a correct and complete list of the ministers who have officiated in the new church from the year 185% to the present time : Revs. John P. Hall, S. M. Hartsock, Wilford Downs, Jacob Forest, Rev. Turguson, J. Wallace, J. Benson Akers, J. W. Buckley, Jacob Montgomery, C. O. Cook, J. M. MeKindless, W. M. Osborne, W. G. Herbert, M. F.

ST. PAUL'S PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH, OF SHARPSBURG, MD .* was or- ganized in 1818, by Rev. Benjamin Allen, then Rector of St. Andrew's Parish of Shepherdstown, W. Va. A petition was presented in 1819 to the Diocesan convention of Maryland from a number of Episcopalians residing in the St. James Parish for permission to establish a separate con- gregation at Sharpsburg and the convention acted favorably. For some time the congregation wor- shipped in the old Lutheran Church. On May 31, 1819, the corner-stone was laid at which time Rev. J. C. Clay delivered an address and Rev. Allen offered prayer. The church was built of stone and rought cast and had a high tower and belfry. A bell was subsequently purchased in
England by the wife of Joseph Chapline, Jr., who was Miss Mary Ann Christian Abigail Ferguson, a devoted member and an earnest work- er in the church. Joseph Chapline, Jr., died August 31, 1821. He served with distinction in the Revolutionary War. The church stood on the lot where the present edifice now stands. From a memoir of Rev. Benjamin Allen, by his brother, we append the following: "My brothers ministra- tions in Sharpsburg, Md., resulted in the regular organization of a church. Sixty members form- erly registered in St. Andrew's Parish, have been formed into a church in Maryland. St. Paul's Church 1820, Sharpsburg.

Benjamin Allen, Misses Jane and Sarah Chapline, daughters of Col. Joseph Chaplinc, founder of the town, were faithful teachers in this Sunday-School. The late venerable Bishop Whittingham, often presid- ed at Confirmations in the old church.
In 1862, September 17, the date of the bat- tle of Antietam, this church was used for a hos- pital by the Confederate Army and filled with sick and wounded soldiers numbers of which died and were buried in the lot adjoining the church and afterwards removed to Washington Cemetery at Hagerstown. The church was so badly wrecked that it was rendered totally unfit to worship in.
Rev. Henry Edwards by his zealous labors and untiring zeal rebuilt the church. It is built of stonc in the Gothic order of architecture with vestibule, recess pulpit and vestry room, six hand- some art windows in memory of departed loved ones adorn the sides. A handsome art window in the rear of the recess containing a life size pic- ture of St. Paul is the munificent gift of the late Henry Shepherd of Shepherdstown, W. Va. The congregations numbers about 40 members with a large and flourishing Sunday-School.
The rectors officiating from time to time have been as follows : Rov. Benjamin Allen, R. B. Drane, J. A. Adams ; C. S. Hedges, L. H. Johns; R. Trevett, R. H. Phillips; A. S. Colton; J. II. Kehler; Henry Edwards; H. E. Costelle; Rev. Parker and the present Rector, Rev. C. J. Curtis.

OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, MARYLAND.
SALEM REFORMED CHURCH was for- merly known for seventy-five years as Deyshere Church. Peter Deyshere was the moving spirit in establishing this church about 1747. Mr. Dey- shere came from Maiden Creek Township, Berks County, Pa., in 1747. He had a wife and several children. They settled a farm, on which the church was located. The Indians were very plen- tiful at this time, and the family were often dis- turbed. On one occasion Mrs. Deyshere hid in a sycamore tree during nights for many weeks, when the Indians were on the war path. The Deyshere family of three generations were buried in the Salem graveyard.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF HANCOCK was completed in July, 1848, and dedicated February 30. 1848. Rev. Tusky, of Hagerstown, preached the dedieation sermon as- sisted by Rev. McCalla, of Philadelphia. Prior to the erection of the church the congregation worshipped in the Warfordsburg Church of the Carlisle Presbytery. Later the church transferred to the Winehester Presbytery. and finally to the Maryland Presbytery of the Synod of Virginia Among the most devoted workers for the interest of the church were David Neil and Robert Wason. David Neil left a legacy to the church which was afterwards used in the purchase of lot. A large monument in front of the church marks the rest- ing place of Robert Wason. In 1901 as a gift from Robert Bridges. the interior of the church was entirely renovated, new windows added and large reeess pulpit was built behind the original pulpit platform. The following were elected as trustees : John P. Proetor, 1844; L. F. Wilson, 1854; S. Donnelly, 1863; M. Oslor, 1865; M. Waller, 1868; E. L. Wilson, 1872 ; H. Crumpston, 184; P. D.

METHODIST CHURCH OF HANCOCK. -- The ground on which the Methodist Church of Haneoek is located, was deeded by Thomas C. Brent to Jeremiah Mason, William Vandike, Wil- liam Edwards. Tobias Johnson, James Ayers, Jos- eph Mann, James Kincaid, Samuel Prather and Abraham Kalb, trustees in trust for the "Metho- dist Episcopal Church of Hancock"-on the 13th of May, 1828. The Brents and Brosius were prominent in the church until about 1875, when they had all died or moved away.
Many of the celebrites in the ministry of the
M. E. Church, began their ministerial eareers as pastors of the Hlaneoek circuit, among whom are : Rev. M. F. B. Riee, the present presiding elder of the Frederick District of the Baltimore conferenec; Rov. Charles E. Guthrie of Strawbridge Church, Baltimore; and Bishop Luther Wilson.
Hancock Church is the principal church of Hancock circuit which has eight aetive ehurehes, and is twenty-five miles in extent from East to West.
HANCOCK EPISCOPAL .- The Methodist Church, built in 1828. was for a time the only church in Haneoek. Previous to that time all denominations held services in a log sehool house. Rev. John Delaplaine, who came to Haneoek in 1829, was invited to preach in the Methodist Church, and also held services in the homes. The Episcopalians, Presbyterians and Lutherans con- tributed, assisted by the untiring efforts of Rev. John Delaplaine, the St. Thomas Episcopal Church was built in 1835. These families and others eon- tributed : Brents, Levans, Johnstones, Orrieks, Reynolds, Bowles, Harts, Breatheds, Summers, ('reagers, Pendletons, Gregorys, Beans, Claggets, Williams, Bartons, Carters, Thomas, Hunters, Broscius, McClannahans, Bridges, Blackwells, Wasons, Jenkins, Yates, Byers, Bealls. The Was- ons, McClannahans, Neals, Olivers, Manns, Bridges, Johnstons, Hughes, Seotts, assisted in building a Presbyterian ('hureh. The St. Thomas Church prospered until the Civil War; in 1860 it was taken by Federal officers and held during the four years. They camped in church and placed guns in cemeteries. When the Confederates eame to the town, they usually held the Main St. of town and the Federals had their 'sharp shooters" placed in St. Thomas Cemetery. After the Civil War many families, among the number, Mitchells, Hendersons, Jenkins, Smiths, Stigers, Creagers, Bvers, Gregory, Davis, Condy, Breatheds, Dela- plaines, Atheys, etc., were instrumental in the re- modelling and restoration of the church under the ministry of Rev. Gilbert Williams, who worked earnestly for the interests of church for 12 years.
The church has four memorial windows: one in chaneel bestowed by Miss Mary Delaplaine in memory of her grandfather, Rev. John Dela- plaine, and other members of her family; another window placed by the entire church in loving mem- ory of the long and devoted work of Miss Susan

THE METHODIST CHURCH OF WIL- LIAMSPORT .- The Methodists were among the pioneers of Williamsport, and had a congregation there soon after the town was founded. Its early history is closely interwoven into that of Hagers- town, being under the supervision of early pas- tors at Hagerstown. The present church was greatly damaged during the war, but was refitted and repaired immediately afterwards. It was re- dedicated Oct. 13, 1867, Rev. T. D. Valiant, of Baltimore, Rev. Crouse, of Virginia, and others, officiating. The congregation is an active one. The present pastor is Rev. Guy A. Luttrell.
BENEVOLA CHAPEL, UNITED BRETH- REN IN CHRIST was organized in 1858. The first building was erected during that year. Joshua Toms, although not a member of the con- gregation, was very active and contributed a large sum to help build the church. At his death he left $1,000 to the congregation. Among the ac- tive original members were Joshua Harp and wife, Emanuel Bowman and wife, John Murray and wife, Jonathan Perry and wife, John Slahardy, Joseph Fosnacht and wife, and Mrs. Joshua Toms. The church was first dedicated by Bishop Gloss- brenner. The church was rebuilt in 1886 and ded- icated by Rev. A. M. Evers; it was blown down by a cyclone in 1898 and at once rebuilt. The third dedication was conducted by Presiding Elder W. H. Washinger, of Chambersburg.
The present edifice is a substantial brick 50x36 feet. An active Sunday-school, with Dr. A. G. Lovell as superintendent, assisted by John D. Harp; and eight teachers, is in progress the year round. There is also an enthusiastic Christian Endeavor Society connected with the organization. Rev. J. W. Grimm is the present pastor. Among the early and prominent ministers who have served
the congregation are Rev. George Statton Rev. Isaiah Baltzel, Rev. Z. Warner, Rev. John Perry, Rev. Winton, Rev. W. Courfey. This is the only .church in the vicinity of Benevola and services are attended by many who are not members of the congregation.
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, HAGERS- TOWN, was organized in 1882. The handsome edifice was built in 1891. It is made of presscd brick and is trimmed with Indiana limestone and native blue limestone. It was constructed under the supervision of the officers at the time : Rev. T. D. D. Clark; deacons, Elias Emmert, John Wit- mer and Willianı Hammersla; treasurer, B. F. Bond; church clerk, Wm. J. Webb; superinten- dent, Miss Jennie Seibold; secretary, and libra- rian, Percy Witmer ; board of trustees, Rev. T. D. D. Clarke, John Witmer, W. S. Bly, B. F. Bond, and Wm. Hammersla. The church was dedicat- ed in 1891, the services being conducted by Rev. T. D. D. Clark. Rev. Mr. Ellis of Baltimore, was expected to assist, but could not attend. The services were opened with prayer by the pastor and an oblong tin box was held by Wm. Hammersla, and then passed to Elias Emmert, from whence after reading the 107th Psalm, it was hoisted by William Lewis, master mason, into position and placed in the memorial stone and a cap put on. This contained a Religious "Herald," Baltimore "Baptist," church records, list of officers and coins.
In the basement is the Sunday-school room which will seat a large number of children. While the church is not an old one in point of organiza- tion, its membership is large and composed of ex- cellent and influential people.
The following pastors have served this con- gregation : Rev. L. R. Steele, Rev. Lyle, Rev. Charles Harris, Rev. T. D. D. Clark, Rev. E. E. Ayres, Rev. Cole, Rev. Thos. A. Johnson, Rev. F. L. Fraser, the present pastor, who is held in high estcem by his members. The Morning IIcr- ald of June 9, 1906, contained the following :
"At the evening session (meaning Western District Association of the Maryland Baptist As- sociation) then in session, the feature of the eve- ning was the burning of the mortgage for $1,900, against the First Baptist Church, of Hagerstown. The mortgage was paid off a few days ago. The First Baptist Church is now free of debt after

HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD
many years. It was chiefly through the indefatig- able efforts of its pastor, Rev. F. L. Fraser, that such a condition was made possible. Rev. Fraser came here a little over two and a half years ago. Then there was a debt of $2,900 resting against the church. During his pastorate this was grad- ually reduced until the indebtedness has been en- tirely wiped out. In addition to paying off the debt the members have raised $700 for improve- ments to the church. There was $2,705 raised in two and one-half years, by the church, over and above current running expenses, exclusive of the $1500 given toward reducing the church debt by the church extension society.
It is not in the financial part of the church alone that Mr. Fraser has been successful. The membership shows a gain of 100. When he came there was a membership of 103, and now the mem-
bers number 203. The average attendance at all the meetings of the church has increased wonder- fully, having practically doubled in almost every department of the church. The pastor and his congregation are in harmony and it is safe to pre- dict that the First Baptist Church will continue to grow as it has in the past.
Mr. B. F. Bond, of Baltimore, formerly of Hagerstown, who was the first treasurer of the church, held the mortgage, while William Ham- mersla, the only inember of the original board of deacons now living in Hagerstown, applied the match. After the burning of the mortgage the evening was taken up with the discussion of State missions. Rev. Dr. E. B. Hatcher, of Baltimore, State superintendent of missions of the Baptist Church of Maryland, delivered a very able and in- structive address upon the subject."
