Churches of Orrville
Presbyterian Church: Prior to the organization of the Presbyterian church at
Orrville services were held occasionally. Pev. Archibald Hanna preached the
first sermon in the interest of Presbyterianism in 1852, in an old school
house, now the home of Mr. H. M. Wilson and family. No further record of any
services until July 9, 1854, by Rev. John E. Carson, held in the Union
church. Here they henceforth worshipped until the basement of their own
house was fit for occupation. Services were held by the following named
persons; Rev. Carson, Rev. J. W. Hanna, son of Archibald Hanna, Rev.
Marshall. Rev. Barr, Rev. Semple. During the close of Rev. Semple's
ministration in this place, the church was organized July 25, 1865. The
comittee appointed by the Presbytery of Wooster for the work consisted of
Rev. Philo M. Semple, John E. Carson, Andrew Virtue, ministers; Elders James
McClure and Joseph Potter. The original membership consisted of Mr. and Mrs.
Gailey, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Reaser, Mr. and Mrs. Kirk Johnson, James A.
Taggart, Sarah J. Taggart, Margaret F. Crites, Rebecca Wilson, Lydia Wilson,
Mary L. Wilson, Mary J. Ewing, Delilah McFarland, Sarah A. Orr, Rebecca M.
Storrs, Catharine Schriber, Sarah J. Taggart.

here, the first ever held in Orrville. His labor ceased September 16. 1866.

stated supply of the church, in connection with Holmesville, to March 21,
1869. Rev. Dunlap began services his services June 6, 1869, but his ministry
was short. He died October 3, 1870. The church was didicated February 19,
1871, when a sermon was delivered by Dr. Lord, of the University of Wooster.
Rev. A. Dilworth began his services August 27, 1871, and was installed
November 10, thus securing the title of first regular pastor of this church.
Rev. J. M. Jenkins preached his first sermon April 26, 1874, and was
installed, September 24, by committee of Presbytery, consisting of Rev. A. S.
Mulholland and Dr. Taylor, of Wooster. D.G. Horst, H. H. Strauss and J. H.
Stoll, M.D., were elected Elders at a meeting held May 19, 1876. A summary
of the work of the church from its organizations shows that ninety have
united with it form other churches. Total number ever connected with it,
257; present membership, 170
