AKRON'S CHURCH HISTORY.

Membership: 1836, five communicants; 1837, nine; 1839, fifteen; 1844, sixty; 1888, 250 families, 370 communicants, 300 Sun-' day School scholars, 36 teachers.

HIGH STREET CHURCH OF CHRIST.

The Disciples of Christ, or as they were then popularly, or per- haps derisively, called, "Campbellites," from the founder of the sect, Rev. Alexander Campbell, as early as 1830 began to teach their peculiar doctrines in this vicinity, and in 1339, organized a church in Akron, the meetings at first being held in private houses, school houses, halls, etc., the earlier preachers of the sect now recalled by the writer being Elders William Hayden, E. B. Hub- bard, O. Newcomb, M. S. Wilcox, A. S. Hayden, Almon B. Green, R. Moffat, J. H. Jones Benjamin Franklin, Jasper J. Moss, etc.

At the organization of the society, by Elders Bently and Bosworth, in 1839, there were thirty-two members, Levi Allen and Samuel C. Bangs being elected elders, and Webster B. Storer and Jonah Allen deacons. In 1843, a protracted meeting, conducted by Elders John Cochrane and John Henry, resulted in 49 accessions to the church. About 1845, the church property originally belong- ing to the Congregational society, corner of Quarry and High streets, was purchased, which was occupied until 1857, when it was sold to the German Lutheran society, who later removed the house to the rear of the lot for school purposes, erecting in its place their present handsome brick structure.

Tappan Hall, on East Market street, was now used for church purposes for about six years. In 1863 the present site, on South High street, was purchased and a handsome frame edifice was erected thereon, at a cost of $6,000, to which quite extensive and expensive improvements, from time to time, have since been made.

Officiating pastors since 1845: Dr. William F. Pool, M. J. Streator, W. S. Gray, Warren Belding, J. Carroll Stark, J. G. Encell, J. O. Beardsley, L. R. Norton, R. L. Howe, Lathrop Cooley, John L. Rowe, R. G. White, Frank M. Green, C. C. Smith and Levi Marshall, the pastorate of the latter commencing October 29, 1885; F. A. Morgan, February 1, 1890 to December 1, 1890; E. A. Bosworth, April 1, 1891 to present time.

In 1875, 80 members of' the church, residing in that vicinity, withdrew from the society for the purpose of establishing a mis- sion in the Sixth Ward, which was later organized into the Sixth Ward Church of Christ, as elsewhere noted. Present membership of High street Church of Christ, about 500; scholars in Sunday School, 330; teachers, 29.

GRACE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

The original of the church now organized under the above title, was one of the earliest church organizations of this vicinity -- the Old Middlebury Methodist Church-and part of the ancient circuit, composed of Tallmadge, Brimfield, Mogadore, Pleasant Valley and Middlebury. It was made a separate charge in 1870, and in 1878 the old church edifice, corner Arlington and Exchange streets, was neatly remodeled, under the superintendence of Archi- tect Jacob Snyder, at a cost of $3,000. Among the earliest preachers

in this church were Revs. Mr. Monck, and the present venerable Dr. George W. Clarke. Since, and including, 1869, the pastors of the church have been as follows: M. Williams, George Elliott, W. W. Painter, James Greer, J. H. Merchant, W. H. Wilson, J. B. Cory, R. F. Randolph, A. W. Arundel, W. L. Slutz, R. M. Fresh- water, M. W. Dallas, Rev. J. H. Conkle, September 1887 to Septeni- ber, 1890; Rev. J. K. Rader, September, 1890, to the present time. The present membership of the church is 150; Sunday School scholars 250. The society has recently constructed a comfortable parsonage, at 1016 East Market street.

FIRST GERMAN REFORMED CHURCH.

About 1842, the German Evangelical Protestant Congregation was organized, erecting a small house of worship, of stone, on the side of the hill north of Doctor Scott's residence, on North High street, which building, devoted to secular purposes, is still stand- ing. In 1852, the Lutheran element withdrew and organized a separate congregation, and in 1855, the German Reformed element consolidated with the German Reformed Church, the latter having previously purchased the original Baptist Church structure, northwest corner of South Broadway and East Center streets, the two branches mutually working for the cancellation of the debt against the church property.

REV. JACOB DAHLMAN, D. D, -- born at Barmen, Rhenish Prus- sia, April 11, 1831 ; in Spring of 1846 entered counting house in Elberfield, two years later emigrating with par- ents to Wooster, Ohio ; here he served a three years' apprenticeship to trade of tanner and currier, at which he worked several years as journeyman in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Michigan ; in 1855, entered Marshall College, at Lancaster, Pa., graduating in 1860; then for two years attended the thelogical seminary at Mercers- burg, Pa., graduating therefrom in 1862; ordained to the ministry by the Philadelphia Classis of the Reformed Church June 15, 1862, immediately organized a congregation in West Philadelphia, known as the German Evangelical Reformed Emanuel's Church, building a fine house of worship and parsonage, with a mem- bership of 245 communicants; also officiating as stated clerk of Philadel- phia Classis 10 years, clerk of Synod. etc., receiving the degree of D. D. from Ursinus College, Collegeville, Pa., in 1880.

were maintained, with Rev. John F. Engelbach, as pastor. April 27, 1857, articles of incorporation were filed under the name of the "First German Reformed Church of Akron, Summit County, Ohio." In the Fall of 1858, the German portion of the congrega- tion, bought the interest of the English portion in the church property, and are now the sole owners thereof.

Mr. Engelbach resigned as pastor in 1860, followed by Rev. Robert Koehler, in 1861; Rev. J. D. Leeman, in 1864; Rev. John Baumgartner, in 1866; Rev. Christoph Schiller, in 1870; Rev. Julius Herold, in 1876; and Rev. Jacob Dahlman, D. D., the present incumbent, in 1880.

In the tower of. the church was a fine-toned 1200 pound bell, purchased by the citizens of Akron, in 1837, on condition that the then owners, the Baptists, should permit the "Town Council of Akron, and their successors in office, or their agents, thereunto lawfully authorized, to go in and out of the Baptist Church in Akron, free and unmolested forever, for the purpose of using said bell," said arrangement being ratified by the trustees of the church, Smith Burton, J. Rockwell, Robert K. DuBois, Richard Howe and Joseph Cole, November 15, 1837, and by the Town Council of Akron, November 23, 1837; and for many years this bell was rung morning, noon and night, at stated hours, in sounding fire alarms, announcing public meetings, times of holding court, etc.

The society finally feeling the need of more room, in 1890, '91 replaced the old frame structure with an elegant brick edifice, of which a finely executed engrav- ing is here given, the old "Town Bell" ringing as clearly from its lofty tower, as it did from the belfry of the old house when first suspended therein 54 years ago. The cost of the new building, with fixtures, organ and furniture complete, being $27,000. Dedi- cated May 3, 1891.

The present membership of the church is 575; Sunday School scholars, 200; teachers 25. The society formerly, for several years, sustained a separate parochial school, but at present only main- tains said school during the vacation of the public schools, teachers being paid by tuition fees from the pupils in attend- ance.

THE SIXTH WARD CHURCH OF CHRIST.

This society is an off-shoot from the High street Church of Christ, as elsewhere intimated. At a meeting held at Mershon's Hall, March 30, 1875, a letter of dismissal from the parent church was asked for, in which the memorialists said: "We are moved to take this step by one motive, viz., for the greater usefulness in the cause of our Lord and Master. With many of us this is a painful duty, but a duty we think we owe to the community in which we reside, in order to a proper upholding and advancement of that cause we all profess to desire to see prosper."

The letter was granted, and the new church was duly organ- ized, to be known as the "Church of Christ in Middlebury," with 80 members, and the following officers: H. T. White, Mendal Jewett and Almon Brown, elders; Geo. F. Kent, and Thaddeus H. Botsford, deacons; F. W. Inman, C. H. Palmer, and R. Whitmore, financial committee; S. C. Inman, clerk; A. Thompson and William Youmans, ushers; F. W. Inman, Geo. F. Kent, R. Whitmore, M. Jewett and T. H. Botsford, trustees.

AKRON AND SUMMIT COUNTY.

REV. THOMAS F. MAHAR, D. D., -- son of Thomas and Ani (Hart) Mahar, both natives of the United States, was born at Scranton, Pa., September 28, 1851, in 1862 entered St. Mary's College, in Cleveland, where he remained four years, then attended St. Louis College, at Louis- ville, Stark County, three years. In 1869 he went to Rome, Italy, where he pursued his ecclesiastical studies six years, there receiving the degrees of Ph. D. and D. D. In 1875 came to Cleveland, where he was made Assistant Pastor in St. John's Cathe- dral, serving in that capacity five years. August 1, 1880, by appoint- inent of Bishop Gilmour, Father Mahar became the Pastor of St. Vincent de Paul's Church, of Akron, his ministrations having been attended with signal success to the present time, as will be seen by the history of the church, given else- where, not only having charge of St. Vincent de Paul's Church proper, on West Market Street, with a meni- bership of 275 families, but of St. Mary's division, on South Main Street, with a membership of nearly

100-families, (soon to be erected into an independent parish), with his brother, Rev. William G. Mahar, as his assistant.

On St. Patrick's Day, 1864, the present imposing stone church edifice, 50x100 feet in size, corner of West Market and Maple streets was begun, the exact date of its dedication not being remembered by the writer. The architecture is of the Roman order, the interior being handsomely stuccoed, and its twelve large windows being of elaborately stained glass, emblematical of sacred Bible characters and scenes, the keystone of each window arch, upon the outside, being the finely carved head of some of the more prominent Saints of the Roman Calendar. The tower, and the furnishing have not yet been fully completed, though the tower now contains a large, fine-toned bell, placed there by the congrega- tion, and a first-class clock, procured by general contributions of citizens. The estimated cost of building, when complete is $50,000. This society has a handsomely laid-out cemetery, fronting on West Market street, opposite Portage road, consisting of about seven acres of ground, the original cost of which was not far froni $2,500.

The society also in 1887 erected, immediately east of the church, an elegant brick parsonage, at a cost of $5,000. The con- gregation consists of 275 families, or 1,500 souls.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL'S CHAPEL OF EASE.

To accommodate the rapidly increasing "South End" member- ship of the above named society, St. Mary's Division was organ- ized and a fine brick building, 36x62 feet in size, two stories high, was erected in 1887, on South Main Street, opposite McCoy Street, in which, besides being used for a parish school, as elsewhere stated, Father Mahar has hitherto held regular services every Sunday afternoon, but is now assisted in his ministrations to that

branch of the Church, by his brother, Rev. William G. Mahar. There are at present connected with this division 100 families, or about 500 souls. It is the intention to erect a commodious brick church edifice upon the same lot at an early day.

ST. BERNARD'S CHURCH.

Originally all of the different nationalities subscribing to the Roman Catholic faith, residing here, were embodied in the one church organization of St. Vincent de Paul. Owing to the rapidly increasing German element in that denomination, an amicable separation was effected in 1861, twenty-three families, of the Ger- man-speaking portion, at that time forming a new society, under the title of " St. Bernard's Catholic Church." The new society was placed in charge of Rev. Father Loure, of St. Peter's Church, Cleveland, by whom the corner-stone of a new church, northeast corner of South Broadway and Center streets, was laid in 1862. The new church was completed and occupied in January, 1863.

REV. JOHN B. BROUN, D. D.,- born in Rening, France, March 2, 1834, moving with parents to Mon- roe, Mich., in 1847; at 20 entered Assumption College, at Sandwich, Ontario, remaining there three years; then entered St. Thomas College, near Bardstown, Ky., from which he graduated in 1859; then spent one year in St. Mary's College, Cleveland, studied Theology at Assumption College three years, ordained priest in 1863, and located at Eagle Harbor, Mich., with a territory 55 miles in length, embracing three churches, sixteen missions and over 1,000 families, in making his semi- monthly visits to the churches and monthly visits to the missions often traveling long distances on foot. In 1866, Father Broun assumed the pas- torate of St. Bernard's Church, in Akron, in whose spiritual and tem- poral interests, for over a quarter of a century, with the exception of two brief visits to Europe, in 1873 and 1890, he has labored with phenomenal
