In Response To: Antioch Church (Richard Harrison)

I note in the Eureka obit of Anthony Waggoner of 11 Oct 1894: "At the organization of the Christian church in Jackson township about the year 1855, he [Anthony Waggoner] went into said organization under the labors of J. Linscott, and was deacon of the church for over 40 years."

Growing up in the 1940s and 50s in Jackson Twp., I remember it used for community purposes, not religious services. It was the place for voters of Jackson Twp. to cast their ballots, and 4-H meetings were held there.

The church burned January 3, 1950 and was rebuilt. My brother, three years old at the time, says this is his earliest memory.
