Note: Birth: �Ctab�DMay 13, 1793 Truro Nova Scotia, Canada Death: �Ctab�DMar. 29, 1853 Troy Davis County Iowa, USA [Edit Dates] Methodist minister METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCHES Pleasant Valley Methodist churches were organized in Parke County at early dates. One of the first was the Pleasant Valley Society formed about 1825. Their house was located in the south central part of section 11, Raccoon Township. William Taylor was the first pastor of the church, and some of the first members were James Strange, brother of John Strange, the noted pioneer circuit rider; Bliss Kalley, a native of Massachusetts; Tobias Miller; Jacob Overpeck, a native of Virginia; and Daniel Kalley. The families of these pioneers constituted a large part of the membership in the second generation. The member-ship increased to more than one hundred, and a new frame house was built about 1855. Besides the sermons, class meetings, and prayer services, the young people were permitted to conduct singing schools in the church house. The Missouri Harmonist was one of their song books. During the Civil War and following it the society declined, the house deteriorated, and services were suspended.. In 1885 another house was erected, and services were resumed. This church was on the Bellmore circuit, and its pastors were the same as those at Bellmore, where the parsonage was located. On September 1, 1894 Reverend 0. C. Haskell, the pastor, was stricken with paralysis while in the pulpit, and died the next day. No church or Sunday school services are held here now, but the house is used for funerals and community meetings. Pleasant Valley Cemetery adjoins the church lot. Here many pioneers are buried; here also is the grave of Jacob Overpeck, who was born in 1772. 1846-Organized Bethel Methodist Episcopal Church in Troy, Iowa Lived in Union Twp, Troy, Iowa in 1850 and was 56 years old at the time.
