Methodist Churches
          Bartonia.-A class was established there (at Mr. Bailey's) about 1848, and the meeting- house was built about 1850. Edward Barton was Class-Leader. Some of the members have been Edward Barton, James Bailey, William Shockney, James Jackson, William A. Macy, Ephraim L. Bowen, Chenoweth; William Locke, Manning, Manning, Spencer, and their wives.
          Preachers have been Messrs. Stout, Hollinsworth, Wright, Hull, Black, etc. (see Spartansburg).
          The class still exists, though it is small.
          Mr. Chenoweth, during his life-time, prepared a grove upon his land for the holding of meetings, and in the summer time, religious services are often held there.
          He died a few years ago, and his decease has been a great loss to the community and to the society.
          William Locke, who, for many years, was a warm. hearted member of the Bartonia Class, also removed not long ago, and no one remains who can fill the gap his absence has created.
