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.
