Notes
a. Note:   THE WILEY CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN:
 The Dunkard Brethren in the Wiley-McClave area started about the year 1903 in the Star school house, 6 miles southwest of Wiley. For some reason, the congregation felt the need to split but they couldn't decide on the dividing line and whre to put the new church. After several years of discussion, they decided to make the dividing line the Graveyard stream. The Wiley church was build on C.A. Hanks lots in Wiley. A letter from S.F. Spitzer in 1938 best describes the erection of the new church. The following is a direct quote from his letter.
 "Jno. Sarah had put in the foundation and was finishing the rostrum when I began work. Ed Pierson was "Boss" on the brickwork and hired a young man by the name of Ladd from off "the dry land." Pierson had no contract nor did Ladd. They received $5.00 per day for their labor. Martindale was "Boss" over all. "Mudmixer" was Amos Smith from Lamar, myself hod carrier or brick man.
 "It was a cold hard winter, one morning so cold that I told Will Hildabidle I was going out home that I knew something was wrong--I got as far as the hay mill where he caught up with me and made me go back, good thing he did or I would have froze. Next day a neighbor came in town--I sent groceries and coal home, when he got there they were just ready to burn the chairs and bedstead to keep warm, and the house and fence could not be seen for the storm.
 "It was so cold we could not work much, had to use salt and sacks to keep mortar from freezing, stacked all brick facing and backs together--and I had to separate it. When the weather was better work started again. Everyone who worked donated $10 cash besides a lot of labor.
 "Brother Ladd put some pennies above the front entrace--four bricks up and north, he said he did this so the church would never be "broke" and he offered a little prayer that the Lord would bless it. I can yet see myself carrying those bricks with a prayer as we laid them one by one and with a song in our hears "For Christ and the Church Let Our Choices Ring."
 "Before we got the roof on, I scooped the snow out three times, and in places it was ten feet deep! But we kept on until we finished in the spring. As I remember it, Brother WQ. S. Ellenberger donated the three lots and $1000 to start with and $300 more at dedication. Brother William E. Hiltabidle was the carpenter and he made the stand (pulpit) on the rostrum as a gift to the church." S. F. Spitzer
 Dedication services for the new church were held on June 9, 1912. They started the day with Sunday School at ten o'clock a.m. The dedication service followed the Sunday School service at eleven o'clock a.m. After the dedication, lunch was served in the basement and a good fellowship was enjoyed. The cost of the new church was $12,000.00 besides the donated labor, material and lots.
 At one time, this church was called "one of the most aggressive churches in the Brotherhood." The organ was dedicated April 3, 1955, a gift donated by the Ullom family in memory of their parents, Elder Home and Laura Ullom, the parsonage was built after the organ was dedicated.
