Cowen, who removed to Kansas; A.
P. Waugh, who left the church and was for many years a
consistent member of the Presbyterian church; James
W. Linn, a liberal, earnest, faithful man in his office,
leaving behind him a sweet memory; John
Donaldson, a man of retiring disposition, honest and
upright, sincere and faithful in his profession, and John S. White.
First Brick Church
The first
church, which was taken down in 1860 to give place to the present
building [1901], was erected during Dr.
McLean's pastorate in 1843. The cost of the
building was bout $3,000. It was not a very inviting
structure, was noted for its high porch with long stairways at either
end. Mr. A. P. Waugh
was most active in its erection. There were many things
worthy of mention which transpired during this second pastorate but the
records are lost and they cannot be reproduced.
