Subject: [INSWITZE] Zion U.B. Chapel
Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2000 12:09:19 -0500


Does anyone have information on this old church & cemetery on Indian
Creek and Detour Road? Also known as "Taterbug Church." This group of
United Brethren merged with the Evangelical Church in 1946, and then the
EUB merged with the Methodists in 1968 to become United Methodists. Are
there any records for this chapel, maybe with the Methodists?

A book on the UB Indiana Conference (Adam Byron Condo, 1926) mentions a
Mt. Zion church "southwest of Vevay several miles" with a stone church
erected in 1849, but no reference to Zion Chapel in Switzerland Co.
Ellyn Kern's recent list of Switz. Co. churches lists Zion Chapel, but
no Mt. Zion UB church.

Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks.
