The earliest church of which we have any information was one located in the Shidler neighborhood, in 1823, by the Christian denomination, but made a free church, because assistance was solicited and received from people of all faiths and people of none. An interesting relic of this church has been preserved, and we here present it. It is a subscription paper circulated to secure the completion of the church edifice, and reads as follows:

We, the undersigned subscribers, obligate ourselves to pay David V. Stephens the sum annexed to our names, in wheat, rye, corn, and pork, if paid by the tenth of January next; or in good sugar, to be paid after sugar-making, at the case price, delivered in Eaton; or in good whiskey, to be paid by the first of February next, at cash price, delivered at the place above mentioned, in payment to aid said Stephens for a job of joiner work done by him, amounting to twenty-five dollars, in a meeting house on a certain lot of land obtained from George Shidler and Thomas Woolverton. Said house to be free for all Christians to worship God in. December 3, 1823."
