CHURCHES BETWEEN THE MOUNTAINS
A HISTORY OF THE
LUTHERAN CONGREGATIONS IN
PERRY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
by
REV. D. H. FOCHT, A.M.
CHAPTER V
LIVERPOOL CHARGE
THOUGH some of the congregations composing this charge are among the oldest in Perry County, for want of church-records we can say least concerning them. It is a matter of great regret, that there was such utter neglect on the part of the early ministers and church-councils in not putting on record the various and more important items of information with regard to the churches--information so interesting to us now, but to us wholly and forever lost. In our sketches of the history of the churches of this charge, we must rely chiefly on the frail memories of the aged, and, in connection with such facts as we know for certain, will endeavor to give an approximately correct history of each congregation. The charge, it may be said, was formed in 1830, when Rev. Heim consented to yield the congregations to another pastor as soon as they should call one.
