| FALMOUTH CHURCH OF CHRIST. |
|
The earliest records of the Church of Christ
at Falmouth, Ky., were destroyed by fire. It
seems prior to 1850 meetings were held in Falmouth
by William Patterson, John T., Johnson,
and John A. Gano. As early as 1855 there was
a congregation meeting in the court house, and it
was ministered to by Bro. Jack Holton, of Bracken
county, and others. John I. Rogers, Thos. Arnold
and Thos. Munnell aided the work in its earlier
history. In 1872 the present meeting house was
begun. Through the liberality and untiring efforts
of Thos. J. Oldham, elder and leader for
years, it was completed. It was dedicated by
Isaac Errett, Jan. 1, 1876. At this time, and
for several years, H. B. Taylor ministered to the
church. The church has steadily grown. It now
has an official board of eleven excellent men, and
its future is promising.
