Cottage Methodist Episcopal Church 

The “Cottage” Methodist Episcopal Church was built about 1858-60, the society having organized about 1855-57, in a school-house which stood in district No. 3, and was afterward burned. They built a frame church, and afterward sold it to John Wilson, who uses it for a dwelling. A second frame structure was built subsequent to 1860. The first preacher was Rev. Mr. Gill, who probably organized the society. The house stands about two miles west of Jackson Center.
