Charleston Methodist Church |
| ----- |
 The
Methodist Episcopal Church at Charleston was built in 1850,
on land given to the society by Henry Campbell.
William Glindwell was the eon tractor. The society had been
organized in 1840, with only eight or ten members, under the leadership
of William Miller. He was succeeded by James
Murdock, John Henderson, John Pierce, James Anderson, Henry Jennings,
John Henderson, Jr., B. Hughes and Jacob Zahniser. A hewed log
house of humble pretensions was erected about the time of organization.
The congregation is in good condition and has a comfortable house of
worship.
