A postcard showing the exterior of the United Brethren in Christ Church and parsonage. The church was built 1896 and dedicated in June 1897. It had been under construction for several years previous to the dedication. Most of the labor was donated and the lumber was cut off the farms of the members. Henry Bowers helped shingle the roof. These same shingles lasted until 1955 when Rev. Erdman almost fell off the roof during the reshingling.
