Delaware Township 

Methodist Church

The first Methodist preaching in the township, was in the Reznor neighborhood, at the residence of William Smith, and various other private houses.  About 1820, the neighbor assembled and built a church, the remains of which are still standing [1877] on the farm of David Reznor.  The site was deeded by George Reznor, and dedicatory sermon preached by Rev. Mr. Graham.  The building was free for the use of all Evangelical denominations, but the Methodists had general charge of it.  It has been abandoned for years.

As early as 1820 the Methodists built a house of worship on the farm of George Reznor, who deeded the site. The building was open to all religious denominations, but the Methodists seem to have had the control, Rev. Mr. Graham preaching the dedicatory sermon. The house was abandoned many years ago.
