THE FOLLOWING HISTORY IS RESPECTFULLY
INSCRIBED.
INTRODUCTION.
MARIA CREEK CHURCH is one of the oldest Baptist churches in the State of Indiana; and is now, so far as the writer can learn, the oldest Baptist church that has had a continued existence since her organization.
It had long been thought by some of her members, that her history ought to be written and put in such form as that it would be preserved; and at their request the following short history has been compiled. It is imperfect, but gives the material facts of her history as found in her records.
