Church erected by the Christian congregation of Wooster. Dedication next Sunday, Oct. 4th. A congregation of Christian Disciples Church was organized in Wooster July 26, 1833.
Among first members were: Kimball Porter and wife; Frederick Kauke and wife; John Miller and wife; Jacob Wachtel and wife; Samuel Zimmerman and wife; Griffith K Jones; George K Zimmerman and others. For several years had no house of worship. Part of the time meetings were held in the old courthouse, where the congregation had been organized. Sometimes it assembled in little brick school house on S Market Street and occasional worshiped at dwelling houses. The first regular pastor was Rev. JH Jones who began labors in 1845 and 1847 membership had increased to over 100. They bought a lot on the corner of S Walnut and W South Street and erected a substantial church. Rev. Jones continued for 12 years until 1857 and was conducted pastor work by the following: John W Errett, Samuel R Jones, Robert Moffett, NA Walker, JH Bauerman, JN Love, DJ White and HD Carlton. By later years, by death and removal, the congregation became reduced in membership and was unable to support a pastor. In 1889, they sold the lot to EM Quimby and in 1890 purchased the lot on N Buckeye Street and began the erection of a new house there. This new church building has been completed. The church committee in charge was George W Reid, Louis Eberhard and Harry A Miller. The work was done under following Wooster contractors. Woodwork by Robert Cameron; stonework by John Levers; roofing, plumbing and furnishings by McClure and Craighead; painting by Harry A and George B Miller; plastering John Winters; frescoing by William McCalonin; carpets by Oberholser, Bebbe and Co..
