Ingersol Chapel - Fountain County INGenWeb Project

Ingersoll Chapel near Hillsboro has been having a sort of church war for some time past over placing an organ in the Chapel. Part of the members favored the organ and a number were dead set against it. An agent placed an organ in the church on trial.  Last week the door of the church was broken open and the organ was entirely destroyed – broken into splinters. It is the most dastardly deed ever committed in Cain Township and excitement has been running high.  The organ was valued at $85 and will probably have to be paid for by the church.  No clue to the perpatrators of the deed.
