An older family member has told me that about 1930 the Mt. Carmel United
Brethern/Mennonite Church was located on the same street as St. Stephen's
Episcopal, but down towards Vine St.

This was said to be the old church of my grandmother Stutzman, who was
connected to the Dietrich and Artz families.

Have no idea if this is really true!

> The United Brethren Church was organized in 1866 by Rev. F. List at the
house of John Deitrick, with five members, viz.: Evan Frey, Henry Yeager,
Catherine T. Deitrick, Rebecca Yeager, and Elizabeth Artz. The house of John
Deitrick was the place of worship for several years, after which a frame
building on the north side of Third street between Hickory and Market,
formerly used for school purposes, was occupied until 1874; the present
frame church edifice at the southwest corner of Vine and Third streets was
then built at a cost of two thousand dollars. Rev.
> Thomas Garland, Lewis Deitrick, and John Byerly were the trustees at that
time. The following pastors have served this church: Reverends F. List,
1866; J. Shoop, 1867-68; William B. Evers, 1869; A. P. Kaufman, 1870;
Reverends Hartsborn and Nelson, 1871; S. R. Gipple, 1872-73; Thomas Garland,
1874-75; M. P. Sanders, 1876; S. R. Gipple, 1877-79; L. Kreamer, 1880-81; H.
S. Gable, 188-83; H. B. Spayd, 1883-84; J. G. Fritz, 1885-88; M. J. Heberly,
1889. Mt. Carmel became a mission station in 1883 and a self-supporting
station in 1886. The parsonage was built in 1884, and the church edifice was
remodeled in 1888.
