Oral history told me the church was built in 1860, was once the Etlah Community Church, and was non-denomination Christian.
Today it is a private home. The owner was gracious, and willing to talk, but reserved.

Oral History: It seem the town wanted a big depot and stop from the Missouri-Pacific Railroad. Planned on naming the town after the German verb to stop or halt Halte But the railroad said no, they were not interested in a stop here, so the town folks said they will not stop we are the opposite of that of town became the verb backwards...Etlah .. not to stop or halt...sort of....
