A big thank you to those of you who responded to my question about the
Methodist Episcopal Church in Alton; what a great list!



I found the original information on Heritage Quest:



Hair, James T.

Gazetteer of Madison County : containing historical and descriptive sketches
of Alton City, Upper Alton, Edwardsville, Collinsville, Highland, Troy,
Monticello, Marine, Bethalto, and other towns, including some account of the
resources of the various townships : together with an exhibit of the
manufacturing establishments, newspapers, banks, churches, schools, and
other institutions of the county : to which is added a directory of the
Altons, and a list of the names, occupation and residence address of the
merchants, manufacturers and farmers of the townships and villages of the
county
Evansville, Ind.: Unigraphic, 1973, 293 pgs.

Reprint. Originally published: Alton, Ill. : J.T. Hair, 1866.
"The reproduction of this book has been made possible through the
sponsorship of the Alton Museum of History and Arts"



The reference to the Methodist Episcopal Church history is on pp 133-134.



The book is also on Ancestry, but p 133 is missing. Heritage Quest is
probably available through your local library.
