Serving God for 185 years!
The Christian Church at Honey Creek was organized in 1839 at the home of Elijah Priest under the direction of Rev J Kirby. The original members were John and Catherine Priest, Andrew & Nancy Clark, Mary Clark, John & Elizabeth Richardson, and L & Sarah Davis. In 1840 a log house was built on the corner of L. Davis’ land. In 1852 a one story frame building was erected at the cost of about $1000 at its present location. William Leffel made a donation of one acre of land so his son, John Leffel could be buried in the church cemetery. John was the first to be buried here on Sept 27, 1852.
The cemetery is no longer in full-time use, The last burial was of Elmer Mumford who died January 10, 1951.
