Day and his wife, Mariah L. Day, gave the land for a place of worship for the sum of $25.00, and the parcel was a small part of their farm. The church was organized on April 16th 1888 at 2 o'clock in a school known as 54# King School. The trustees named were Cyrus Legates, David Wilson, William King, John H. Day, and William H. Wilson.
