| This is the oldest photo of the Elk Run Methodist Church that I have. This would have been called the Chandlersburg Methodist Church in Rosina's time. This is before any of the additions had been erected. The church was razed to its foundation in 2002 and a house built on it. I have the six stained glass windows and the doors in my Sullivan Township Museum. The bell has disappeared. The church never did get its steeple, although a fund existed for it when the church closed in 1992. The church had been established in 1864 and this building erected shortly threafter. It is now just a memory here in the neighborhood. |  |

0407 - Mary Dewitt, born 15 Jan 1878, ws just a newborn at the time of this visit.
0416 - Mr. Robbins was a blacksmith and apparently also a cooper. A cooper put the hoops on barrels to hold them together.
0422 - Cora Squires was the daughter of Will's Cousin, Lydia Smith who had died in 1870, and Andrew Squires. At this time Andrew was married to Olive Smith, Lydia's sister, also sister of Ephraim and Philetus. Seymour Squires was Cora's uncle. Cora died on the 25th of April just a few days after this at age ten. I suspect that Rosina did some work with medicine or healing of some kind as she is usually called in when there is a person who is severely sick.
