   “Grace Union Church is an institution of North Wilbra- 
   ham, and although the edifice was built with the contributions of 
   members of various denominations, and is entitled to be occupied 
   by each of them, the church is usually called Congregational. 
   Rev. Vernon H. Deming has charge of the services here.”

   Comment by Vic Smith – It was not clear what year these sentences are meant for.

   from “History of Marshall County, KS” by Emma E. Porter

   “CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

   On January 12, 1872, the following persons, who were of the Congrega-
   tional polity and faith, perfected a church organization in Blue Rapids:
   James Cooley, Charles E. Tibbetts, J. D. Field, F. G. Morris, J. E. Ball,
   John Palmer, J. C. Friselle, Lewis Phelps, John A. Smith, William Ekins
   and James A. Dawes. Of these men, James Cooley and Charles E. Tib-
   betts had been in the county since 1866, and William Ekins and James A.
   Dawes came later.

   The first pastor was Rev. Arthur Smith. He died early in his minis-
   terial work. In 1879 came Rev. E. Skinner, of English birth, and during
   his ministry a church was erected and dedicated in October, 1882. Reverend
   Skinner died in 1901. Members moved away and the church
   declined. In 190.^ the church property was leased to the Episcopal people
   and later sold to them. In 19 10 the church formally disbanded. This
   church amply justified its existence by the part it took, for more -than
   three decades, in the religious and social life of Blue Rapids. Among
   those who went out from under its guidance is Rev. Frank L. Macy, for
   many years a successful Congregational minister, now residing at Mil-
   ford, Kansas ; Rev. Harry E. Vincent, a Congregationalist pastor, of New
   York state; Charles W. Elkins, of California, a Sunday school worker of
   national reputation. Among the prominent pastors w’ho served the church
   may be noted Rev. Vernon H. Deming, of New England, and Rev. Wil-
   liam M. Brown, president of Tillotson College, Texas.”

   HENRY A. DEMING, farmer, P.O. Rootstown, was born in Rootstown Township,
   this county, February 23, 1841; son of Gideon Y. and Lucia Deming. The
   former, a native of Berkshire County, Mass., came to this county about 1828;
   the latter, a native of Connecticut, came to Hudson in 1820. They were
   married in Rootstown Township, this county, where they remained until their
   death, Mr. Deming dying October 25, 1877, his widow January 16, 1884. They
   were the parents of five children, of whom only Henry A. survives. Our
   subject was married, August 28, 1865, to Cordelia M. Collins, born in

   and Sarah Collins (both deceased); the former, born in Connecticut in 1811,
   died in 1867; the latter a native of New York, died in 1863. To Mr. and

   H. The family are all members of the Congregational Church. Mr. Deming,
   during the late war of the Rebellion, served his country in Company I, One
   Hundred and Fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, from August 4, 1862, until July
   8, 1865.
