The evidence

  • “From that year up to 1849-50, services were held principally in private houses, but in the latter years a church was built at Clinton Corners and occupied until 1857, when it was removed to Clinton Junction. But it was soon found that the rapidly increasing numbers of the congregation demanded a larger edifice, and accordingly it was determined that one should be built and during the season of 1867 the present edifice wag erected (38x64 feet, with a session-room in the rear, 20x30), at a cost of $6,500.”
