MT. ZION UNION CHURCH is in the south- eastern part of Carroll. In 1763 we find "Joli Rankin located at Canderman's Gap, in Kittantinny Hill; Israel Jacobs along Fishing Creek, in 1766 ; John Jacobs in the vicinity, in 1768 ; Adam Reigart there, in 1773; Samuel Starr on waters of Fishing Creek, in 1774; and George Albright located land in 1786." Many others soon came into the valley, and, like many of the pioneers, were of the Re- formed and Lutheran faiths. Among these were the Reibers, 1798 ; Foulks, 1795; Ensmingers, 1797 ; and the Sloops, Finicles, Kimmels, Hinkels and Billows. These members at- tended divine services in Carlisle, traveling by a rugged path over North Mountain, a distance of from ten to fifteen miles.
Pastors from Carlisle occasionally visited the community until the Loysville charge was formed, when its ministers preached for the members in this vicinity at regular intervals- once in four weeks-in houses and barns. In 1816 a church was built, the corner-stone being laid in July and the edifice dedicated on the 14th of Angust following. The structure was of hewed logs, and in dimensions thirty-five by forty feet. Inside were high galleries on three sides of the building and a high pulpit stood against the wall. In 1854 the galleries were taken down and other repairs made, and in Sep- tember, 1878, further improvements were made and the church rededicated as a Union Re- formed and Lutheran Church. In 1839 Mt. Pisgah congregation was formed, and St. David's, or Billow's, followed in 18-16. Both of these churches drew their membership largely from Mt. Zion. Since 1870 the congregations have not been regularly served. The Reformed pastors who served were Rev. Hollenstein,

who was succeeded by Rev. Jacob Scholl, who preached until 1817. Rev. Daniel Gans next became pastor from 1848 to 1850 (thirteen months), and was followed by Rev. Samuel Kuhn, from 1851 to 1863. In 1863 the Zion's Reformed congregation was united with St. David's, and it ceased to be a regular meeting- place. The Lutheran ministers were as follows :
Rev. John G. Butler, 1780 to 1788; Rev. Timothy Kuhl, 1788 to 1796 : Rev. John Herbst, 1796 to 1801; Rev. Frederick Sano, 1802 to 1809 ; Rev. John F. Osterloh, 1809 to 1815; Rev. Benjamin Keller, 1816 to 1827; Rev. L. Il. Meyer, ove year ; Rev. John W. Heim, 1829 to 1849; Rev. John P. Heister, of Petersburg charge, to which the congregation had been attached, 1850 to 1853; Rev. George A. Nixdorf, 1854 to 1858; Rev. William H. Diven, 1858 to 1862; Rev. Kinsel, six months ; Rev. Samuel Aughey (pow Professor Aughey; LL. D., of Lincoln, Neb.), 1863 to 1864 ; Rev. M. L. Culler, 1865 to 1866; Rev. J. E. Honeyentt, 1867 to 1870.
Since the latter's ministry the Lutheran con- gregation has not been regularly served.
MOUNT PISGAH EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH .-- This church is located on the sonth- east bank of Sherman's Creek, near the site of what used to be known as Sutel's school-honse, built between 1775 and 1780, and connected with it is a grave-yard, in which many of the early settlers were buried.
The Lutheran families of this vicinity first attended preaching at Carlisle and later at Mount Zion Church, in Fishing Creek Valley, and at St. Peter's, Spring township. They had preaching occasionally at Reiber's school-house umtil about 1830. Some of them were ignorant of the German language and after attending services at Carlisle for several years, in response to their request for ministerial attention, Revs. Keller and Heyser preached for them while they had pastoral charge at Carlisle. In 1838, Rev. John Ulrich, of' Carlisle, became their first pas- tor, and preached regularly every four weeks. The congregation was organized in 1839.
. Abraham Jacobs, on the 12th of February, 1812, donated a lot to the trustees of the church, and in the article of agreement stated that when not occupied by the fatheraus the church was at the disposal of any denomination of Christians. A frame church building was erected in the following summer, and dedicated
September 21, 1812. Rev. Ulrich served as pastor until 1842. Rev. Jacob Kempfer, of Carlisle, then took charge of the congregation for less than a year, being succeeded by Rev. Levi T. Williams, then of the Petersburg charge, who resigned in September, 1815. Rev. Lloyd Knight, of New Bloomfield charge, then became pastor until June, 1819, when he also re- signed. Rev. Jacob.Martin, of New Bloomfield, then acted as pastor throughout the year 1850, when the congregation was made a part of the Petersburg charge. Rev. John P. Heister was minister from November, 1850, to November, 1853; Rev. George Nixdorff from June, 1854, to May, 1858; Rev. William H. Diven from August, 1858, till the close of 1862; Rev. Kinsel from January, 1863, for six months; Rev. Samuel Aughey-now Professor Aughey, LI .. D., of Lincoln, Neb .-- from Angust, 1863, to November, 1864; Rev. M. 1. Culler, from January 22, 1865, to close of 1866 ; Rev. J. E. Honeyentt from April, 1867, to 1870. Since the ministry of Rev. Honeycutt the congrega- tion has not been served regularly by the pas- tors of the Petersburg charge, and the church unused by the people of that vicinity except on special occasions.
CHURCHES OF THE UNITED BRETHREN IN CinisT .- At the residence of Henry Young the United Brethren members first held their meetings in Carroll township, Rev. John Schneider being pastor. A class was formed in 1835 by Rev. Peter Harman. In 1840, noted as the time of a great revival in the church, many persons were added as members. Work on the building of a church was begun in 1841, and in June, 1842, services were held in it. It was dedicated October 23, 1842. This church is known as Young's, and that portion of the circuit is called Young's class. Sher- mansdale class was formed from it in 1863. Its members worshipped in a school-house at Shermansdale until 1878, when, during Rev. Kiracofe's ministry, a handsome church was built, with parsonage on same lot.
From the Young's class has also sprung Reiber's class, whose members (one hundred and fifty-six) meet in a schoolhouse in Spring township. Prior to 1815 these classes consti-

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH .- The mem- bers of this denomination held their first meet- ings in Henry Lackey's house many years pre- vions to the formation of a congregation, in 1838. About this time, a school-house having been built on land donated by Henry Lackey, the place of worship was transferred to it, and a congregation regularly organized. Worship continued to be held in the different school- houses built in the vicinity until 1870, when a church was built and called Mount Gilead Methodist Church. In 1877 the cirenit was di- vided into the Blain and New Bloomfield charges, the Mount Gilead congregation being attached to the latter. An incomplete list as to carly preachers, but complete as to the later ones, is here appended,-
In 1536 Rev. George Berkstresser acted as pastor ;
W. A. McKee, Isis; J. W. Hanghawout, 1851-52; D. Cassehan, 1853; Plimmer Waters, 1854-55; Gid- con 11. Day, 1856; Cionbridge Graham, 1557-58; J. Y. Rothrock, 1859-60; 1I. S. Mendenhall, 1861-62; F.

METHODIST PROTESTANT CHURCH .- On the 20th of December, 1838, George Smiley donated to Lawrence Hipple, Jolm Kennedy, Thomas J. Stevens, William MeClintock and William Murray, as trustees of the Methodist Protestant Church, sixty-three perches. On this land a log church was built, which was situated oppo- site the Billow Mill, (now Weaver's,) about half- way up the mill-dam. The structure stood until 1860, although services were discontinued many years before. No ruins mark its site. Among its first ministers were Rev. Hanthum P. Jordan.
CHURCH OF GOD (contemporary with the Oak Grove congregation) .- In or about the year 1833 the Church of God in Carroll town- ship was organized at the residence of Jolm Soule, in Sandy Hollow. For many years ser- vices were held in the house of Mr. Soule until near 1850, when, on land donated by him near his dwelling, a house of worship was built. In 1878 a new church was erected on the site of the old one, much of the timber of the former being used in it. For pastors, see Church of God in history of Spring township.
THE RIVER BRETHREN .- The River Breth- ren congregation was organized in Perry Coun- ty in 1859. Its members are scattered through Carroll and sister townships. No churches have been erceted by the denomination, but school-houses and the houses of the members have been used for devotional meetings.
Schoons. - Sutch's school-house was built between the years 1775 and 1780. It was a log structure, and situated two and a half miles west of the site of Shermansdale. The house, like all the carly school-houses, was used as a place of worship. In 1816 the old log build- ing was standing on the Sutch farm, and, with few repairs, was used until 1850, when Wolf's

school-house took its place for school purposes; but it stood as late as 1857.
In 1842 the Mount Pisgah Evangelical Lu- theran Church was built a few feet from the old school-honse, which, at that time, ceased to be used as a house of worship. Matthew Adams, David G. Reed and James MeCafferty, whose names are mentioned so often in connec- tion with the early schools of the township, were among its first teachers.
One of the carliest schools of Carroll was called Smiley's school-house, receiving its name from the Smiley family, who were the first warranted- in the town-hip. It was situated on the bank of Sherman's Creek, near David Dunkleberger's farm, and is described as a log structure, with clapboard roof; the seats were made of slabs. On two sides of the building a log was left out, the intervening space being used as windows, greased paper acting as the conductor of light into the school-room. Above the teacher's desk was a window large enough for six eight-by-ten panes of glass; but the greased paper was substituted. A stove pipe, extending into the loft, was fitted with an elbow, which could be turned round to suit the various currents of air. Among the old teach- ers were Hugh Porter and Henry T. Wilson. The building was used for school purposes as late as 1836.
The Shortess school-house stood close to the line of Alexander Shortess and Anthony Kim- mel, on bank of Fishing Creek, in the fork of a hollow, and on property now owned by William Smee. James McCafferty and David (1. Reed were teachers. The school-house was accepted by the school directors after the adop- tion of the common-school law. The location has been changed to the south side of Pine Hill, and is now known as Sice's, No. 7.
Kimmel's school-house stood a short distance down the valley.
A school was opened on the Enoch Lewis traet three years before the free-school law was in operation. Samuel McCord opened a select school in his spring-house, in which the milk crooks stood, and the spring which bubbled up in one corner was covered over with a broad board, to prevent the pupils from falling in.
There stood a log school-honse on what is at present John Sternberger's farm. Pupils were tanght in it until 1837, and among the teachers were Jacob MeCaskey, Abraham Bruner and W'm. Lackey.
I fair's school-house was situated on the bank of Sherman's Creek, on land of Jacob Hair, now Mrs. Samuel Rebert's property. Matthew Adams, David G. Reed and Hugh Porter were carly instructors. Geo. R. Wolf was the last teacher in the old building in 1835.
Near the Swisshelm Church stood also one on lands of Isaac Kirkpatrick, and another built in Is IT on land of Mrs. John McCa-key. This building is now u-ed as a house of worship by a Mennonite congregation, some of whom reside in its vicinity.
No. 1, or Church School, was built in 1836, in Shermansdale, used until 1862, when Wm. 1. Smiley, Jr., purchased it and it was changed into a church for the United Brethren denomi- nation. The present site of the school-house is near the Presbyterian Church.
The Kirkpatrick school-honse was accepted by the directors and used several years, when it was moved to lands owned by B. F. Junkin, by whom, in 1878, one-half acre of land was donated for school purposes and the present school-house (No. 2, or Pleasant Grove) was built.
After the MeCaskey school-house was aban- doned, in 1837, the Lackey (No. 3) school building was erected across the road from the present residence of Carson Lackey. This land was given by Henry Lackey May 20, 1837. The school-house was moved some distance far- ther down the road years afterward. The house now occupied was built in 1870.
No. 4, or Smith's, was built about 1854 near Anthony Wax's, but in 1873 one-half acre of land was bought from Samnel Comp and the honse built the same year.
Between the years 1852 and 1853, No. 5, or Wolf's, was formed tosupply the vacancy caused by the decadence of the old Sutch school-house. On lot of ground purchased from Jacob Wolf, Jime 17, 1876, the building now used was created, the school taking its name from the owner of the property.

Jacob Sloop, June 1, 1877, sold to the school directors the lot on which the present house (No. 6, or Bernhill) was built. At the adoption of the school-law by the township, in 1836, a school-house had been created ou kinds of John Losh, and before 1857 was removed to where it now stands.
No. 7, or Smee's, is an outgrowth of the Kin- mel and Shortess schools.
No. 8, or Huston's .- The first school-house was built in 1861; a second in 1872; the pres- ent one in 1880.
No. 9, or Narrows, was built on a lot donated by A. L. Bowman and E. L. Spahr. The di- rectors, in 1872, purchased from Hannah Kel- logg forty-three perches; the house now oceu- pied was built.
No. 10, or Fox Hollow school-house, is first in that part of the township. It was built on land of Peter Kolter in 1873.
The directors purchased from W. T. Dewalt, July 10, 1875, twenty-four perches, and built a school-house,-No. 11, or Shermansdale.
The common-school law of 1834 was put in operation in 1836, and in that year the authori- ties reported that $58.23 had been received from the State for school purposes and one hundred and ninety-seven persons returned as liable for taxation for the support of the new school sys- tem. In that year six schools were open, with a term of two months and a salary of eleven dollars per month. Next year the term was lengthened to five months. In 18.13, by vote, it was determined to abolish the new system. During that year only two schools were taught; but in the next the system was adopted and the provisions of the law enforced.
Carroll now has cleven schools. The min- ber of pupils in attendance in 1881 was three hundred and forty-four.'

1754,and embraced all the territory of the pres- ent Perry County lying west of the Juniata River. Toboyne township was erected from the upper end of Tyrone by action of court at the March sessions, 1763. At the January term of court, 1766, a petition was presented asking for the erection of a township from the lower end of Tyrone. The petition was considered, and the following is of record concerning it of the March term of Quarter Sessions, 1766 :
" Upon petition of Severall of the Inhabitants of Tyrone Township to this Court, Setting forth that Said Township is too large, it is adjudged and ordered by the said Court, that from the North Mountain to the Tuskarora Mountain by Mr. West's, and from that to Darlington's and to Strack the Tuskarora about William Noble's be the line, and the name of the Lower be called Rye Township."
