TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH. The lots on which the buildings of the Luth- eran congregation stand were originally used by the Old-school Presbyterian church, the deed being made August 28, 1857. The property was later con- veyed to the Evangelical Lutheran congregation which was organized March 14, 1859, with fourteen charter members. The church was incorporated Nov- ember 1, 1884. The first pastors of the church were : W. C. Barnett, J. J. Welch, A. C. Falker, W. H. Hamma, A. J. Eckman; 1870, Adam Helwig; 1875, F. Delo; 1877, G. M. Grau; 1883, J. M. Morris; 1884, H. A. Ott; 1888, H. B. Belmer ; 1890. F. E. Leamer ; 1892, E. Minter ; 1893, to 1909, N. H. Royer.
In Rev. H. A. Ott's ministry a new church building was erected at a cost of two thousand, five hundred dollars and the membership grew from forty to one hundred and two. During Rev. Royer's ministry a parsonage was built at a cost of two thousand dollars and the church building was enlarged and remodeled at a cost of twenty-three hundred dollars. It was dedicated Jan- uary 8, 1889. December 4, 1899, the name of the church was changed to Trinity Lutheran church of Brookville. The membership of the church numbers two hundred and five.
THE METHODIST CHURCH building was erected in 1852. At the present time the church is weak and is served in connection with the church at Lewisburg, by Rev. E. T. Waring ..
THE BROOKVILLE U. B. CHURCH was organized July 14, 1871, and was added to the Salem circuit. The charter members were: H. F. Alberts, John Crick, Henry Mundhenk and wife, C. M. Baker and wife, Mrs. Frank Masters, Sarah Warner, Ellen Studabaker, R. Riley and wife. These eleven persons were represented in the Miami Annual Conference of 1871 at Ithaca and pledged sixty-seven dollars for preaching services every two weeks. Their wish was granted, and Rev. J. C. Miller became the first pastor and organizer of the class. The class having no church house, worshiped for several years in the Methodist Episcopal and Lutheran churches. The class barely held its own until during the pastorate of Rev. S. S. Holden, when a revival rewarded their labors and gave them courage to build a house of worship. Henry Mundhenk, Dr. Conner, Richard Riley. Levi Baker and Levi Stover were appointed trustees and build- ing committee. Work was begun at once to raise funds and on January 25, 1880, the new brick church was dedicated by Bishop Weaver. In this year, 12 Sunday-school work was started. There were several revivals which greatly enlarged the class until its importance gave rise to the redistricting forming Brookville circuit.
Being somewhat dissatisfied with the location of the church, the congre- gation sold their church property and bought a lot on the corner of Hay avenue and Maple street, where they built a splendid brick temple costing ten thousand dollars. It was dedicated by Dr. W. R. Funk, December 18, 1904.
The present membership is three hundred and three. The church is well organized in all its departments. The men's class has had a notable record reaching the number of two hundred and sixty in attendance. Professor J. E. Fox is the president and Professor A. A. Maysilles teacher. John Seybold is superintendant of the Sunday-school. The names of pastors who have served

on the charge are: J. C. Miller, J. D. Holsinger, Louis Gilbert, S. S. Holden, D. N. How, E. W. Bowers, W. J. Pruner, J. B. Doughman, Frank More, Rev. Gardner, S. M. Hippard, J. W. Flory, W. T. Frank and I. Zimmerman, the last named being the present pastor.
Clay township stands first among the townships of Montgomery county in the extent of roads macadamized at the expense of the township. A number of the townships have received the cooperation of the county and the aid of state funds in the improvement of roads but only two or three townships have macadamized roads wholly at their own expense. Clay township has its own outfit for road building-a stone crusher, a steam roller, four road graders, two road levelers and water tank and sprinkler. It owns also four acres of stone- quarry land. The roads thus far macadamized are, the Brookville and Phillips- burg pike, four miles; West Baltimore and Phillipsburg pike, three miles. The county gave assistance in building one mile of road through Brookville on the pike, leading north.
The following are the township officers: Trustees, C. L. Weaver, W. B. Flory, W. H. Hangen; clerk, C. S. Prass. The following members constitute the township board of education: W. W. Helwig, W. H. Hangen, C. E. Brown, P. S. Johns, Samuel Binkley, C. S. Prass, clerk. In the township, there are eight schoolhouses. Two of them have two rooms in use. There are two special districts.
Thus there has passed before us the array of the townships of Montgomery county, along with some glimpses at the towns and villages that have sprung up within their bounds. Likewise, prolonged attention has been given to the expanding city of Dayton, bordered as we have now seen by this circle of town- ships, resplendent with field and stream and wood and set with growing towns.
The sturdy pioneers with their simple lives and hardy virtues-the men sifted from the crowded population of the first settled parts of the country to build up an empire in the waiting west-have passed from the scene of their struggles and triumphs. They performed well their part. It remains for those who have taken their place and have inherited the results of their labors and sacrifices, to perform a part no less necessary, and under conditions no less trying, though different, for those who now live and for those who are to follow.
