Beaver Meadows
the Church and it's people
This book was prepared for the sole purpose of researching the history
of the church and the families of the Beaver Meadows area. After all the
church is only as good as the people who make it work. Without caring people
there is no church. It has been a labor of love. With many feelings of
great accomplishments, and the sadness of knowing there is still more out
there that I have not found. I quickly found out that researching the Beaver
Meadows history would not be easy. I would never find everything I wanted
to know. It was the impossible dream. One question leads to another, then
another. That made me research even harder. I am sure, like a seed planted;
the unfound information will intrigue the next historian. One important
missing item is the original membership book and the original Quarterly
Conference book. What history they could reveal. We pray they will turn
up someday!
When faced with the obstacle of missing books, I took to the community.
That was a blessing in disguise not to have them for research. With them
I might not have met so many wonderful people, and found out just exactly
what every family has contributed to our church. I have recorded their
stories. There maybe errors as no two people can tell the same story twice,
nor in the same manor. To error is human after all. As in all history some
of the written information may have been recorded many years after the
original event. Thus allowing time for error. There have been numerous
recordings just jotted down, no author given credit. I am reasonably confident
that the following records are as correct as they can possibly be with
the information I was able to obtain. If you find errors, please let me
know so hey can be corrected. Enough mistakes in history have been recorded
already.
I hope you enjoy reading the following history, and watch the humble
beginning of the Beaver Meadows Church unfold, and blossom into the hub
of the Beaver Meadows community that it is now.
Carol Brotzman, Historian, Compiled 1996 to 2000

This is what every good church needs, a "Garden of Life"
First plant five rows of P's: Presence, Promptness, Preparation, Preservation,
and Purity. Next plant three rows of squash: squash gossip, squash indifference,
and squash-unjust criticism. Then plant five rows of lettuce: let
us be faithful to duty, let us be unselfish and loyal, let us obey the
rules and regulations, let us be true to our obligations, let us love one
another. No garden is complete without turnips. Turn up for meetings,
turn up with a smile, turn up to make everything count for something good
and worthwhile. Roots Digest February 1986
