Deer Creek Methodist Church

-----

Deer Creek Methodist Episcopal Church, in French Creek Township, a mile and a half southwest of Milledgeville, was organized early in the forties [1840s]. Preaching had been done in the neighborhood, in dwellings and school-houses, by Revs. Hiram Luce and A. G. Miller, thus laying the foundation for an organization. In 1842, with about sixteen members, a house 26x24 was built. Enlarged and improved, it served until 1869, when the present building was erected, G. W. Clure and J. S. Williams being the contractors. A Sunday­school has been maintained, with a few exceptions, through the entire year, since 1842. The congregation is in flourishing condition.
