THE MORAVIA Moravia, Iowa Thursday, August 11, 1932 of Salem Church '-'(By AUSTIN JAY.) ft. History of the Church of the Ofiited Brethren in Christ at the Salem Cfiureh about four miles west of Moravia, Iowa to August, 1932, It seems that a man named William Osbbrn began preaching for the United Brethren in Chirst at a point about two miles south of where the Salem church building is now located. This was an old log school house in the then old Levi Tisue neighborhood. Probably Osborn did not fill out one entire year there, and the year was completed by one Rev. Kellog, being in the year 18B7.

This place was then called the Buchanan school house. After this period, in about 1857 or 1868 a frame church building was erected where the present Snlem church building now A class having been organized about this time. The charter members of the class were Joshua Funkhouser and wife; David Funkhouser and wife; Daniel Funkhouser and wife; George Hiner and wife; Aaron McCoy and wife; James Johnson and wife; John W. Main and wife. The premises at that time covered about one acre of ground in which a cemetery was established, other land has since been added to this cemetery.

All the Tisues, now in this vicinity, are descendants of Levi Tisue, as are all the Funkhousers about here are descendants- probably of Joshua Funkhouser. James Johnson, one of the charter members was the father of John W. 'Johnson, Eli Johnson, Wm. H. Johnson, all members of the Salem class.

We believe that M. H. Johnson, now of Moravia, is the only adult "male descendant here, he being a son of Wm. H. Johnson.

Perhaps all the Hiners now in this vicinity are descendants of George Hiner, one of the charter members, and we believe that all the Mains now in this immediate vicinity are descendants of John W. Main, another charter member. Besides the above descendants are, of course, many daughters and great- granddaughters who are married and now of another name who have been and are members of the United Brethren Church. The oldest one that we call to mind now is David Hiner who married a daughter of John W. Main.

Of course many of the younger ones of each family having moved away are affiliated with other churches, or the United Brethren church in other localities; but as a rule they have remained loyal to the Mother Church of their parents -if at all practicable, showing that the influence of the parent may be visited down to future generations, for either good or bad. The original Salem Class was a part of a circuit, which included appointments in the old Teag'arden neighborhood, northwest of Centerville, Fairview west of Iconium, Mt. Carmel, northwest of Moravia, Grey's Creek and vicinity west of Lovilia, Selection, Blakesburg and Foster, also Tate school house east and south east of Albia, Scatterburg, Liberty and other classes south east of Moravia, and east of Unionville, also Otterbein appointment west of Moulton. Those classes and appointments were then served by the preacher in charge of the circuit who went either on foot or a horseback, or if he chanced to be sufficient- FRANK SWAIM MORAVIA.

The first church building erected at Salem, where the present one now stands, was a frame, one room, no belfry or bell, built in 1860, nearly all with the community labor. The foundation was rock dug from over on the Chnriton and the lumber was from the home saw mills, most of the logs having been hauled by the neighbors and sawed into lumber and hauled to the site by the neighborhood and much of the carpenter work done by the home mechanics. This building was dedicated by Bishop E. B. Kcphart, then of Western College, Linn County, Iowa.

In 1879 this building fell down. It was not observed till the people gathered for Sunday School on Sunday morning. Luckily no one was in it. No cause for its falling was known as there had been no storm. Building a new church was commenced soon, it being placed on the same foundation as the first one.

This was also dedicated by Bishop E. B. Kephart in 1881. This building has always been definitely a United Brethren building, although at intervals other denominations used it temporarily. In view of its great impress it should be retained where it is.

This building still stands as it was built in 1881, except it was repaired and repainted in about the year 1917 or 1918. The following is approximately a correct list of the ministers who have served the Salem Class since its organization in 1857: Rev. William Oeborn 1857; Rev. Kellog filling out 1857, followed by Rev. Bird 1858-59; Rev.
