This is a photo of Christ Episcopal Church. A charter incorporating the Parish was obtained from the County Court in 1854. The cornerstone was laid in 1858, and the church was consecrated in 1860. The church has functioned as a house of worship continuously ever since. We celebrated our 170th anniversary in November of 2024 with a rededication of the church.

Earl Babbitt, Mr. (Richard H.) Crockford (the church's organist and choir director), Bill Halsey, Horace Ross, Bill Mingin, and L.C.S. (Lewis Cheyney Smith).

According to Frank Lees caption on reverse, the cornerstone of this church was laid in 1858.
