The want of religious ordinances being much felt by a part of the Protestant Community recourse was for some time had to the services of ministers or preachers of different evangelical denominations who could be induced to visit the place; but towards the close of the year 1860, or the beginning of the year 1861, it was resolved to petition the Presbytery of Susquehannag to take immediate steps with a new to the organization of a Presbyterian Church (old school) at Fall Brook. A petition to this effect was accordingly purscuted to the Presbytery a fores and, at the meeting of that reverend court which was held at Towanda on the ? (day badly faded and can't be read) day of February 1861.

The following are the names which were adhilirted to this petition.
