Andrews Methodist Church

It seems probable that Methodism was introduced into that locality by the Revs Thomas Miller and Eliphalet Reed....meetings were held at first at Henry Andrew's home, afterwards in a school-house near Andrews'.

In 1831 a meeting house was built on a lot given by Henry Andrews.  The church was sold in 1856 to James Smith and made into a dwelling house.  The graveyard was reserved and is still used as a burying-place.*   (*1889)
