Stoneham Methodist Church

Early settlers of Stoneham, established in 1885, attended Methodist services in nearby Plantersville. This congregation was organized in 1885 by 12 members of the Plantersville Church. Services were held in a school and led by circuit riding ministers until 1893, when a frame sanctuary was built here and the Rev. R.W. Adams became the first full-time pastor. In the 1920s the church flourished and supported several youth programs. Due to declining area populations, the church closed in 1940-1945 and 1960-1973. Reactivated in 1973, the church continues to serve the area with various programs. Sesquicentennial of Texas Statehood 1845 - 1995.
