"Meetings had been started in the Oak Ridge neighborhood by Rev. Mr. CROSSMAN, an Evangelical minister. During the summer he held religious services on benches in the grove. Then the people went about building the church. The church was to be a neighborhood church, open to all denominations. When they were not able to raise money to pay for it, the Rev. Mr. DUNNING, a Presbyterian minister, said he could get the money from his church board if the church was dedicated as a Presbyterian church. This was done and the Evangelical preachers refused to use the building and held their services in the Independent schoolhouse. This work prospered, the congregation was built up and after a time a fine little church (Beulah Chapel) was erected. Then there was a division in the Evangelical denomination that lasted for several years, and the local church never recovered from the effects of this unpleasantness. The congregation dwindled away and a few years ago the building was sold and removed.
