The society of this edifice is a verv old one, and for many years met at the houses of Isaac Hill and others. A log sanctuary was then constructed, preceding the present edifice. Hubbard and Isaac Hill and Mr. Norris were early members. Revs. Parker Williams, John W. Minor and Mills were among its pioneer preachers. The society is a member of Liberty Circuit, which includes besides, this Liberty appointment in Guernsey County, People's Church in Oxford Township and Wesley Chapel in Washington Township. Rev. W.
