The building in which our congregation worshipped from 1893 to 1925 was known as the Sheldon Memorial Church. It was made possible by a gift from Jarius C. Sheldon and his wife, Eunice, who donated the money in memory of their son, Clarence. The original plaque commemorating this memorial now hangs on a wall north of our fellowship hall, along with the portraits of Jarius and Eunice.
