The congregation of the United Presbyterian Church of North America was organized in 1851 in the town of Buffalo by a group of early Scotch settlers. At first, meetings were held in homes and later in the section schoolhouse. In 1865, the congregation had grown sufficiently to warrant a central place of worship, and a church was erected that year on land donated to the General Assembly by William and Adeline Sutfin. John Muir's father was among the first to conduct services there. In 1905, lack of membership closed the doors of the Wee White Kirk. Andrew Reid, Charles Owens, and Owen Owens donated the cemetery grounds to the Buffalo U.P. Cemetery Association. The sect of the United Presbyterian Church of North America passed into oblivion in 1951, when a quit-claim deed left the church to the Cemetery Association. The preservation of the Wee Kirk and the painstaking care of the cemetery grounds testify to the love and esteem of past generations for God and for their forbears.
