 The United Presbyterian
congregation was organized in Leesburg in 1859, the session being
composed of John Van Eman, Enoch
Clark, Thomas Palmer and George
Huttenbaugh. There were forty-two original members, some
of whom afterward left the congregation. Robert
Egleson, H. B. Munnell and Michael
Huttenbaugh were elected members of the session. During
this term some left the bounds of the church and others died. A. S. Black, John Egleson and D. M. Edeburn composed the
next session, and Enoch Clark, A.
S. Black, John Egleson and G.
W. Palmer constitute the present session. The congregation
had no regular pastor before 1874, the pulpit being occupied by
supplies. J. L. Robertson became
pastor in 1874, and in 1877 Rev. J.
C. Bigham, the present [1888] pastor, was installed, and
administers to the spiritual wants of the 100 members composing this
congregation.
