Wheatland-Farrell 

Methodist Church

Wheatland-Farrell Methodist Church, former the Grace Methodist Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church of Wheatland

The Methodist Episcopal Church of Wheatland owes its existence to the beneficence of Mrs. James Wood, wife of the man who laid out and named the town. She gave the lot and furnished the means for erecting the building. The organization occurred about 1868, Rev. J. Perry supervising the matter. The strength of the congregation depending upon the mills, its prosperity fluctuated with the changes occurring in their business. The neat little edifice was erected about 1870. The congregation was incorporated September 24, 1870. Following is the list of its preachers: J. Perry, 1869; G. Dunmire, 1870; B. F. Delo, 1871; J. H. Vance, 1872-74; J. F. Hill, 1875; J. Graham, 1876; W. P. Graham, 1877-78; C. E. Locke, 1879; James Ballantine, 1880-82; Otho Brant, 1883; John Crill, 1884; John C. Womer, 1885-87; Rev. Knowles, 1887.
