Headquartered in Blount township. First preached
at the home of Olive Miller, later at Eckler's school house, and
at Harrison Oliver's and John Chandler's homes. Chandler's wife was the
sister of a preacher named Swinford. "She favored it while her husband
neither approved or disapproved of the doctrine. They had a number of followers,
among whom were Elders Sherer, George Morey,
Coon, Packard, Jackoway, and others … Consider Scott was one of
the first converts. Harrison Oliver, Louis Neely and Olive Miller were
among those who went to Independence with their families and the missionaries
when they left Newell township. A number of their converts would not
go with them, however." |
