FRIENDLY GROVE BAPTIST CHURCH IASONVILLE UNITED LEBANON BAPTIST 1839 METHODIST CHURCH 1843 CHURCH 1856 The oldest church in the school community, FRIENDLY GROVE BAPTIST, is located five miles north in Lewis Town- ship. The first services were held in a grove a short distance north of the present site. It is said that a pioneer family trav- eling from Terre Haute to Louisville stayed all night with the only family in the area. While there, the baby daughter of the visiting family died and was buried beneath one of the large trees in the grove. The resident family, for many years, made a practice of holding services in the grove of trees for pioneers traveling through. The cemetery at Friendly Grove is reported to be the largest free burial ground in Indiana . Family names connected with the church include Crist, Stout, Stark, Pierson, Chambers, Payne, Welch, Liston, Biggs, and Stewart. The first pastor was Abraham Stark. Harold Thomas, present pastor, has served longer than any other pastor, 20 years. The church has a membership of 260: present officers are Emmett Branham, Willard Stevens, Ros- coe Kittle, Clint Craig, and Bill Husband. The young peo- ples' classes are in the picture. The oldest church in Jasonville and second in age in the school community is the JASONVILLE UNITED METHODIST. In the beginning, the church group met in the homes of members. Early family names were Edmondson, Letsinger, Warrick, and Saucerman. The first pastor was John Edmond- son. The first building was built on North Meridian Street. Later, the second building was erected on East Main Street. The men of the church started the building: then after many of those men had to go to the Civil War, the very young men of the congregation completed the building. The present building was completed in 1920, a new annex and parsonage was completed in 1970. In recent years, the Methodists united with the United Brethern to form the United Methodist congregation. The present pastor is Lloyd Sawyer. The Couples class is pictured. Third in age is LEBANON BAPTIST CHURCH. The original site was within the bounds of the present cemetery in The Old Meeting House. Several of the original congregation formed a new congregation, Olive Branch, and moved to another area. Thirty-eight people stayed and met in the old
