The Progressive Brethren Church at Mexico is now the Church of the Brethren
at Mexico. It was the Progressive Dunkard Brethren Church originally. So
they may well have been connected to the Dunkard Brethren Church at N.
Manchester [ it is strong there yet ]. The cemetery for the church at Mexico
is Greenlawn Cemetery. The Sexton for Greenlawn is Sharon Linn whose email I
have lost but I think it is winer(a)netusa1.net. She has the records for the
cemetery and may be able to tell you more. She lives in the corner of the
cemetery and no, she does not turn into a witch on Halloween,.

Was the Progressive Brethren Church big in North Manchester? I am asking
because My gr-great aunt who was a member of the Preogressive Brethren
Church at mexico had a little sister who was born in North Manchester in
1889...
Thanks, Dawna in Oregon

Hi Dawn, Use your search engine (I use Google) and put in Progressive
Brethren Church and you will find quite a bit of information.
There is an historical web site for the Brethren Church and I believe you
can write to them. I did this long before I had computer and they did
respond and sent me some information.
Good luck,
Shelia Michael
