Ministers .- Rev. Joseph W. Henderson ministered to the people from 1798 to 1823, or for the period of twenty-five years. To him as a minister and a man is duly ascribed much of that good degree of moral and reli- gious influence that has usually prevailed in this region of Indiana county. Those who

Changes in the eldership were as follows: George Johnston died October 14, 1881; Dan- iel Wilson died August 9, 1885. James George and Robert O. Allison were chosen ruling elders May 30, 1885. These were or- dained and installed July 12, 1885. Mr. Al- lison was superintendent of the Sabbath school.


Mr. Bausman was released from his charge of Bethel and Homer in April, 1887.


Rev. R. H. Fulton was licensed by the Pres- bytery of Blairsville in April, 1876, ordained by the Presbytery of Pittsburg May 7, 1887, and became a pastor of Bethel and Homer City Churches in combined charge. Having preached to both churches on the first and second Sabbaths of September, 1887, calls unanimous were made out.

Services were held one at each church every Sabbath The cost of said house, so far as it had been finished at that time, amounted to $261.60, of which sum $88.50 was paid by the con- gregation, $55.42 by William Prout & Co., leaving a balance due of $117.68, which sum was paid by H. F. Camp. in connection with the Sabbath school. Inter- est was strongly manifested, and the people were very faithful in attendance. Good work was accomplished through the aid of the wom- en's societies, for the cause of missions at home and abroad. Ample grounds of about On May 29, 1838, a committee of the Pres- bytery of Blairsville, consisting of Rev. John Kirkpatrick and Rev. Erastus Cole, met by appointment and organized the church of Cherrytree, with the following roll of mem- bers : Matthias Bartlebaugh, Mrs. Betsy Bar- tlebaugh, Mrs. Elizabeth Cole, Heth F. Camp, Mrs. Phoebe Camp, John Eason, Mrs. Eliza- beth Eason, Mrs. Phoebe Hollister, Mrs. Catharine Hewett, John Lowman, Mrs. Mary Lowman, William Moore, Mrs. Jane Moore. five aeres, more or less, were also the property of the church. An improvement was made by an addition on the north side to the fence, so that a beautiful white pale fence sur- rounded the church on the north, east and south sides, running well back to the west. The church had one entrance, and fronted to the east, pulpit platform in the west end, or- gan and choir space to the right, upholstered pulpit set. The site is in the midst of an an- cient forest of majestic oaks, and the sur- rounding prospect is very fine; beautiful for situation, the joy of all her people is Bethel of Indiana county.

The first meeting was held in the house of Richard Bard, Esq., on the first day of Sep- tember. A. D. 1837. The meeting was or- ganized by appointing H. F. Camp, chair- man. It was

"2. That a committee of five (5), viz., Wil-


thias Bartlebaugh, John MeDowell and David Somerville, be appointed to locate a site for a house of worship and to report to an ad- journed meeting to be held on the 16th in- stant."


At the time designated, the meeting being again convened, the committee reported that they had chosen the site offered and given by H. F. Camp for that purpose. This report was accepted and approved, and another com- mittee consisting of John Armstrong, H. F. Camp and Peter Newman was appointed to take subscriptions and build said house, and also manage the temporal concerns of the con- gregation. The committee, having received subscriptions during the remainder of the year 1837, proceeded in the spring of 1838


John Lowman and Ileth F. Camp were then chosen and ordained ruling elders. The congregation then proceeded to give Mr. Cole a formal call to become stated pastor, pledg- ing themselves to raise $200 annually for his support, said call being presented to the Presbytery met at Dennisontown on the 1st of June, 1838. The call being accepted by Mr. C'ole, a committee was appointed to install him, and on the first Tuesday of September next following he was duly installed pastor. In September, 1839, Mr. Cole resigned the pastoral office and removed to the State of Ohio. During this period of time five new members, four on examination and one on

from several neighboring ministers to preach and administer the ordinances.


The Rev. John Williams, of the Congre- gational Church (Welsh), was employed a portion of his time for about two years dur- ing 1841 and 1842. From 1845 to 1847 Rev. D. M. Smith preached to the congregation as stated supply.


In the year 1846 the house of worship, which up to this time had remained unfin- ished, was lined and furnished with seats, at a cost of about $250, making the total cost $500.


In the latter part of the year 1848 Rev. David Mills commenced serving the congre- gation as stated supply, in which office he continued for some eighteen months.


In January, 1851, Rev. William Edger commenced his labors as stated supply, hav- present pastor is Rev. John B. Worrall.


ing declined to accept a call to become the regular pastor. He served the congregation only one year, but during that time, as the result of his faithful labors in public and private, twenty-three adult members were added to the church, twenty of them on ex- amination, seven of whom were heads of fam- ilies.


In September, 1852, Rev. James Moore commenced preaching for the congregation, and on the 27th day of January, 1853, he was installed as their pastor and continued in that office until April 14, 1857, when he was re- leased by Presbytery to accept a call in the Presbytery of Huntingdon. During this pas- torate thirty-three members were received into the church, nineteen of them on examination, and a new house of worship was erected in the central part of the village. This was a neat frame building, 40 by 60 feet, 24 feet in height, with basement under the front part and surmounted by a handsome spire. The total cost, including the lot, was $3,500, be- sides the old building. It was dedicated in December, 1856. On the 3d of September, 1854, the court granted the congregation a charter of incorporation under the title of "The Presbyterian Church of Cherrytree."


The first Board of trustees under this char- ter consisted of George M. Gamble, M. D., Matthew McConaughy, E. R. Hollister, E. B. Camp, James Kelly, Gideon Kinports.


when he was released from his charge, Octo- ber 6, 1868, he left the church in good work- ing condition.


From this time until September, 1874, Presbytery sent occasional supplies, and dur- ing the summer vacations the pulpit was sup- plied by students from the theological semi- naries as follows: In 1869 by Mr. T. D. Wal- lace, and in 1870 by Mr. S. S. Wylie, from the Western Theological Seminary; in 1871 and 1872 by Mr. Thomas Parry, from Princeton Seminary; in 1874 by Mr. D. M. Hazlett, from Western Theological Seminary, after- wards missionary to South America ; and from January, 1875, to July, 1876, by Rev. J. N. Diament. In April, 1882, Rev. Julius Spen- cer was employed as stated supply, which re- lation was continued until July 1, 1886. The


A Sabbath school has been maintained in connection with the church since its organi- zation. The school was closed during the winter months until the completion of the new church in 1856, since which time it has been kept up throughout the year. The names of superintendents, as far as can be ascertained, are as follows: Heth F. Camp, Matthew McConaughy, Robert A. Hamilton, William T. Forbes, E. B. Camp, D. J. Satter- field, Elijah P. Baker, J. H. Kelly, Dr. Wil- liam Hosack, Robert H. McCormick. At- tendance at one period averaged above 100; the average attendance in 1887 was sixty- six ; and church membership, fifty. The mem- bership of the church at present is 172, and of the Sabbath school 155.

In the spring of 1858 Rev. J. P. Kennedy visited and preached to this congregation, and on the 14th day of July, 1858, he was regularly ordained and installed as pastor. He was a faithful and successful shepherd of the flock, and the church was prosperous under his care. The membership steadily increased, the debt incurred by building was paid, and Cormick, Frank B. Camp, C. J. Cameron.

GILGAL CHURCH


Gilgal, a "mother of churches," formerly of the mother Presbytery of Redstone, traces her origin to an "Improvement" entered upon in 1797 by Robert and Hugh Thompson and Hugh Cannon, from Westmoreland county, who were soon followed by other Presbyteri- ans, or those of like proclivities, locating chiefly north of the "purchase line" in Ma- honing. They had occasional preaching un- til 1806, when Rev. James Galbreath, a licen- tiate of the Presbytery of Redstone, supplied them a portion of his time, which led to the organization of Gilgal congregation in 1808.


Pastorates .- Rev. James Galbreath being duly installed continued his pastorate until 1817, giving one-half time for several years to Manor (later Harmony ) Church, and after- wards to Indiana. He was followed in 1818 by Rev. John Reed, licentiate from Washing- ton Presbytery, who as pastor equally di- vided his time between Gilgal and Indiana un- til 1839, when his whole time was given to the latter church. He died the following year.


The next and longest pastorate was that of Rev. John Caruthers, born in Westmoreland county, May 5, 1807, graduated from Wash- ington College, 1826, from Western Theolog- ical Seminary, 1839, a licentiate of the Pres- bytery of Washington, who supplied this church from August, 1839, until his ordina- tion and installation by the Presbytery of Blairsville, June 4, 1840. His services were equally divided between Gilgal and Perry (the latter church later in the Presbytery of Clarion) until 1854, when Perry was resigned to prepare the way for another pastoral charge, and the time transferred to Mount Pleasant, a colony of Gilgal, and other points as providentially indicated, until he was reg- ularly engaged at other colonies of Gilgal; Marion from 1860 to 1869, and Rockbridge from 1869 to 1870. He resigned his connec- tion with Gilgal in 1870. Mr. Carnthers was first married in 1840 to Miss Sophia Huston, and in 1867 to Miss Mary, daughter of Rev. David Kirkpatrick. He died at Washington, Pa., November 27, 1880.


Rev. Carl Moore, received from the Pres- bytery of Cincinnati, in April, 1869, was stated supply of Gilgal from 1871 to 1887, and during that time also supplied adjoining churches.


he continued to be until he resigned in 1882 and went West. The same congregations were supplied by the Presbytery for six months in 1882, and then for six months by Rev. A. S. Elliot, a licentiate of the Clarion Presbytery, and he being ordained was in- stalled over them in the spring of 1883, re- signing a year thereafter. In November, 1884, Rev. W. F. Gibson returned and re- mained two years. Stated supplies then filled the pulpit for several years, when Rev. Wil- liam M. Devors was installed as the regular pastor, remaining about ten years. Then fol- lowed another period of supplies, when Rev. H. W. Warnshuis became the pastor. In 1911 Presbytery granted the petition to dissolve the union of Mt. Pleasant, Rockbridge aud Gilgal, and Gilgal and Marion were made one charge with Rev. Richard J. Roberts as pres- ent pastor.


The Eldership .- At the organization of the church John Work and Joshua Lewis were chosen and set apart, and soon followed by William Hokpins, Hugh Cannon, William Work, Isaac Van Horn, and later by John .Sutor, John Hastings, William McClusky and Moses Crawford. In September, 1849, Robert Thompson, grandson of the patriarch whose name is mentioned at the beginning of this sketch, William Black, Robert Park and Archibald J. T. Crawford were added, and in May, 1859, Charles Bovard, Thomas Stewart, Robert Thompson, Jr., another grandson of the pioneer, and Samuel Stuchell. Of the foregoing William Black and A. J. T. Crawford were dismissed to Mount Pleasant, and John Sutor and Robert Park to Marion. Samuel T. Brady, Samuel P. Black and Sam- nel K. Lockhart were added September 21, 1867, and John A. Work and Henry K. Dilts May 14, 1886. The present elders are: Wil- liam A. Stewart, clerk; W. M. Streams, J. C. Lockard.


Deacons and Trustees .- In 1842 a board of deacons was constituted of William Riddle, John Allison, Matthew Wynkoop and William G. Stewart, but it was thought best to em- phasize the legal obligation in the furtherance of the finances of the church, and in 1852 it was incorporated and provision made for a board of six trustees. The first were Henry Van Horn, Jacob Stuchell, John Craig, James Bovard, John Pollock, John L. McComb.


Houses of Worship .- For some time after organization worship was conducted in pri- vate houses, and on sacramental occasions in a tent. Not earlier than 1810 the first house,


Rev. W. F. Gibson, licentiate of the Pres- bytery of Allegheny, came April 1, 1877, and after statedly supplying Gilgal, Mount Pleas- ant and Rockbridge for about three months and on the present site, was commenced, but was ordained and installed their pastor, which not finished until several years later.

of the ground was a gift from William P. existence. In 1840 the church Sabbath Brady. The building was 40 feet square, school was reorganized and flourished for and of hewn logs, which had been prepared several years, when it gradually declined for a barn, each contributor having pur- until extinct, although a district Sab- bath school was maintained at the Stuch- ell schoolhouse. In 1859 the district sys- tem was extended. A very large and vig- orous temperance society had its existence chased his quota of logs for a stipulated quantity of wheat. This structure was after- wards extended 12 feet to meet the increased demands, and was no doubt the best church building in a wide extent of country. But here, and the support of the elders, previous in 1838 it was replaced by a brick structure to 1840. 50 feet square, costing $1,300, which, how- ever, in 1887, the congregation removed, erect- ing a new structure, on the same site, a com- modious and tasteful house of worship.


Members and Colonies .- Probably two hun- dred names were enrolled down to the year 1840, there being one hundred members at that time. From 1840 to 1860 287 were added on confession of faith, and eighty-nine on certificate. But this church being the first and for a considerable time the only church of any denomination in the county north of Indiana, it became the religions home of all whose doctrinal faith was in harmony with it. In 1828 Elder William Work died, and his wife, reared in the Associate or Seceder. Church, joined with others and formed such an organization, now the United Presbyterian Church of Mahoning. In 1843 Rouse's ver- sion of the Psalms being superseded, a seces- sion occurred forming an Associate Reformed organization, now the United Presbyterian Church of Smyrna. In 1854 about twelve families of Gilgal congregation located from five to eight miles north of the church, unit- ing with others in the vicinity for more con- venient worship, originated Mount Pleasant Church, taking thirty-five members from Gil- gal. In June, 1860, Presbytery granted an organization at Marion, on the south, which drew twenty families and about fifty members from Gilgal. In 1864 some ten or twelve fam- ilies residing a distance of from five to eight miles to the east secured from the Presbytery the organization of the Rockbridge Church at Richmond. These constant reductions and other natural causes left Gilgal a membership of fifty-five in 1887. The present membership is seventy-four. The Sabbath school member- ship is eighty,


Miscellaneous .- "Societies" or prayer meet- ings in the early day were held in private houses, and were maintained a long time al- though through much fluctuation. Sabbath school was in operation during Mr. Reed's pastorate, and about 1830 Rev. John Andrews, of the Pittsburg Recorder, organized local Sabbath schools, but they had a temporary


Missionary collections were lifted during the pastorate of Mr. Reed, and since 1840 the church has been in a good degree regular in its contributions. Three sons of Gilgal have been given to the ministry : James W. Mccluskey, licensed in 1851; James M. Shields, 1854; and Joseph S. Stuchell, 1861.


Thus the annals show that Gilgal Church has held a most prominent and influential place in the history of this Presbytery, and, reviewing the churches that encircle her, north, south, east and west, it may be said, "Gilgal is mother of them all."


ELDERSRIDGE CHURCH


Motto .- "That which we have heard and known and our fathers have told us we will not hide from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord."


At Congruity, June 5, 1830, to the Pres- bytery of Redstone, was presented a memorial from certain inhabitants of Conemaugli (now Young) township, Indiana county, praying to be formed into a congregation, to be called Eldersridge. The request was granted, and Rev. Thomas Davis was appointed to fulfill it. This he did on the 30th of August, 1830, and reported it to the Presbytery of Blairs- ville at its first meeting in the autumn of that year, for in the meantime that Presbytery had been organized, including this region. Fifty persons were embraced in the new congre- gation, whose names follow: James Smith, Esq., Mary Anne Smith, John Smith, Jane Smith, Margaret Smith, Jacob Weamer, Bar- bara Weamer, David Elder, Julia Anne El- der, James Elder, John Elder, Elizabeth El- der, Mary Elder, Robert Elder, Joseph Harbi- son, Esq., Rebekah Harbison, Sally Harbison, Joseph Cunningham, Archibald MeMeans, Elizabeth MeMeans, Andrew, William and Robert McMeans, Mary Devers Davis, Mar- garet MeMeans, Sarah McMeans, Samuel Cochran, Nancy Cochran, John Reed, Sr., Jane Reed, Sr., Alexander Reed, Lucy Reed, John Reed, Jr., Jane Reed, Jr., Abel Findley,
