“On April 2, 1844, CAPTAIN THOMAS D. EVANS presented the society (Methodist) with Lot No. 4 in Block No. 21. The trustees who accepted the deed of gift were ALEXANDER FULTON, THOMAS D. EVANS, ROLLY TAYLOR, JOB C. SWEET, DAVID SOLLANBARGER, BENJAMIN T. HOXIE and CHARLES NEGUS. Although its membership had increased to 28, it was unable for several years to build a home. It continued to hold its meetings at the houses of its members, and in the courthouse and in the Presbyterian Church, when these places were available.”
