A small group here determined to test whether a Church of Christ could be maintained in their midst. Some of the names are of families interested in the cause elsewhere. The leading ones were: Stanley Hines, John W. Cossaboom, John Cossaboom, Thos. Gibbons, John Wensell, and the McDormands. Stanley Hines was active in promoting a building campaign, which was successful.
A small but suitable house was erected and opened for worship on December 2, 1892, with H. E. Cooke as preacher, and he also gave considerable work for the cause then and after. In June, 1897, Howard Murray held a good meeting, with ten additions. The total membership in July, 1900, was reported as but twenty-seven. Many persons helped by contributions to the building fund.
The labours of ministers could not be continuous and the Home Mission board was unable to finance a cause so weak in numbers. Work here has long since ceased.
