2022-02-27 - According to the church history on the parish website, "On June 16, 1910, the jubilee of burning the morgage took place, initiated by mellow tolling of the new bell over the countryside; this bell was the donation of Mr. A. A. Arnold, not a member of the congration. Those who participated in the burning were Walter Renwick, Sr. A. C. Fisher, the Rev. J.N. Shank, who was pastor. Frank W. Williams, Sr. and George DaBolt, Sr. Five years later, the church was completely refinished and redecorated and the installation of a pipe organ, and a complete electric light system was accomplished. Just two and one-half years after these great improvements and additions, the church burned to the ground - February 8, 1918. The cause remains a mystery. Due to the cold season, ice was in the mains and slowed water pressure. -Jim Stettner
