The tower, is now , or seems to be, boarded up. How many bells hung there, or still hang there, I could not find out. It is really sowing it's age. If serious work is not done to the roof, it may not make it.
"The Baptist Church was organized in 1852 by Rev. S. G. Miner. It now numbers 175 members and 100 Sunday-school scholars. The organization was perfected in a school house, about one mile east of the present site of the town, with about 25 members. When the school house was erected in town, they used it for divine worship until they erected their present church. It cost about $2,000 dollars." ~ The History of Roseville, April 5, 2015
