Culmer, as an architect, ar-chitect, construction commenced. Every able bodied man and boy helped in this construction. construc-tion. Alfred E. Culmer who so diligently oversaw the construction of this building passed away before the final completion comple-tion and his funeral was the first one held in the . new building. Louie Gillman and sister May recall swinging swing-ing onthe old iron gate which graced the front of the church, and from home each Sunday, daughter Louie remembers carrying homemade bread in a basket for the sacrament sacra-ment services. The old fence and gate, along the north side of the property at 362 North Main, still remain re-main in tact, and many of the trees are the original ones planted by Joseph W. Ash. Our forefathers deserve to be remembered for their stamina and perser-vance perser-vance which helped to make ther futures and our presents better.
