Vv''ashington Pvodman was unanimously called to be rector of the parish. The credit of first attempting the establishmerit of an Episcopal church in this village, is due, under God, to Miss Margaret Hunt,'' a lady whose intelligent zeal, kindly sympathy and untiring benevolence, deser\'e especial mention. The work was undertaken by this lady ; and, although the number of Episcopalians in the immediate neighborhood was then comparatively small, still a considerable interest was awakened by her endeavors. The amount of $2,061.00 was collected, to which the sum of $1,000.00 was added by the munificent donation of Mrs. C. L. Spencer.
