Submitted by: Sandi Gorin http://www.genrecords.net/emailregistry/vols/00002.html#0000404 Additional Comments: This ends the minutes. It appears that no minutes were kept between the split off of members to Friendship. Efforts had been made over the years to re-unite Friendship and Beaver Dam but it didn't work out apparently. Now the church minute books were being returned from Friendship to the old church, i.e. Beaver Dam. This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/kyfiles/
