MORGAN CHURCH OF CHRIST. |
Sometime in the forties, Brethren Irvin and
John A. Gano held a meeting in Callensville, Pendleton
county, Ky., with near a hundred additions.
Soon after, Samuel Rogers organized a
Church of Christ there which met for some time
in a school house. In 1856, after the railroad
was built, Mr. Stowers gave ground and the
church was built at Morgan. W. M. Tandy dedicated
the house and held a meeting. The first
elders were Wm. Kirkwood, Jerry Wells and A.
E. Ames; the first deacons were Dr. J. B. A.
Risk and Wm. Porter. The first house was
burned in April, 1883, and the present brick
building was erected that year and dedicated in
November by J. B. Briney. The church has been
a great blessing to the community. Its fine
Sunday-school and Jr. and Sr. Y. P. S. C. E.
make its future usefulness more promising.
