Duckcreek/Willshire Church Member List 1909

Today, the final Duckcreek Church [1] membership list that I have, a list of the members received in February 1909.

This information includes name, marital status, Class number, residence, how received, by whom, baptized, and when/how disposed of. Not every item of information was given for every person.

The first two, Dove Cully and Esther August, were received 7 February 1909. All the rest were received 14 February 1909. All were received by Lemuel Rice and Willshire was given as the residence of all. I believe that residence probably meant where they attended church, not where they lived, as it appears these records included other local Methodist churches, not just Duckcreek. Therefore, this membership list is likely not a Duckcreek Church list, although it was included with the Duckcreek records I was given.

This concludes the Duckcreek Church records that I have.

[1] Duckcreek Church was established in 1858. A frame church was built about 1868, located a couple miles north of Chatt on State Route 49 in Mercer County, Ohio. The church was destroyed by a tornado in 1920 and was never rebuilt. Many of its members joined the Chattanooga Methodist Church after their church was destroyed.
