"This church was organized in 1830 by Rev. George HANNOR, who was the preacher in charge of the circuit which included Oneonta Plains,...the first house of worship was erected in 1844. This building was erected at a cost of $1500....During the pastorate of Rev. Mr. VAN DUSEN, in 1865 or 1866, a movement was started for the erection of a new church building, which resulted in the erection of the present substantial edifice, which cost, together with the lot, the sum of $10,000. The building was erected in 1868 and 1869,...The church is now in a prosperous condition, and has a membership of two hundred and ninety-six persons."
