It was deeded to the church by Sam Wright, Jerry Johnson and Sam R. Frost for the purpose of a burying ground and also as a church site.

It is understood that the old church occupied the northwest corner of the lot, but was later moved to the present location. The following information is taken from the minutes of the session of the Liberty il ill Congregation, which W. C. Murphy kindly furnished us for reference. From these records we find that the organization was formed out of the Richland church.

In writing the closing chapter of the history of this organization, it is but a repetition of the history of many other rural churches throughout the country. The drift of the population toward the towns and cities for the past few years has reduced the membership of rural churches to such an ex that it has been impossible to continue the organization and the chinch property has fallen info uch state of repair as to render it unfit for holding si rvicef even if there should hr- an occasion. In view of the fact that these community ci nters were at one time in the history of our country, thr biggest factors in the religious and social life of the people, then- i something of the tragic in passing and when we study the character of men and women vi loped through these influence? and compare them with present i products, we wonder if thr New F.
