The First United Presbyterian Church - Rome, PA - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"...since the township was in the same latitude as Rome, Italy, this new township should take the name of “the Eternal city.”"

"In 1935 the approach of the fiftieth anniversary of the erection of the present brick church was noticed by one of the members of the Presbyterian Church of Rome, and the attention of the pastor was called to the date, December 21, 1886, when the church had been dedicated. A committee was appointed to make plans for the observance of the fiftieth anniversary and the pastor began writing a history of the church from the date of its organization in 1844 to the time of the dedication of the second church edifice, 1886."
