The congregation was founded in 1834, and a hand-hewn log building was the place of worship, then locat- ed on the. southern portion of the present land site. As numbers in- creased a larger and more accomoâ€" dating place of \VOI‘s‘l’l'l'p was required therefore funds by subscription were raised and the present structure took form. The narrow pews, still in use, were assigned to seat-holders and whole families attended weekly wor- ship, the building at times being scarcely large enough to seat the congregation. Many changes have been wrought through the Years. Old families have disappeared from the community, and farms have been passed on to new owners, until very few descendants of the early pion- eers now worship there. Mrs. Eliz- abeth Gellatly, the oldest member of the congregation, and Miss Alice Ferguson and Mr. Lincoln Ferguson have descended from early founders, while the Bovair families have des- cended from the Scott family; Mrs. Walter Shropshire, Mrs. Elizabeth Folliott and Mrs. Mina are grand- daughters of Rev. James Tawse, the first minister to settle at Eversley. whose pastorate extended over 40 years. The above mentioned are a few of the descendants of the found- ers, others not noted being included. Mr. Lyle Wells and his sons are the only family of that name now living in the district, though the Hand for the church site was taken from the original Wells farm and now hap- pily owned by Leonard Shropshire. James Tawse. named in honor of his grandfather, Rev. Tawse is a mem- ber of the congregation.
