Abstract

Description

This church was the center of the community and today we strive to continue that legacy by staying connected and engaged with the community. About this church: - The altar was originally to be a fireplace hearth in the home of a Waterloo resident but was donated as the altar instead. - The lighting was provided by the two white, globe lamps hanging on either side of the altar wall along with the chandelier. They were fueled by kerosene. The chandelier was on a pulley system to raise and lower it for filling. It wasn't until 1948 that the church was electrified and the side wall sconces were put in place and the chandelier was electrified. It was then that a furnace was put into the church as well. - The pew cushions are original but were not donated until 1879 by Peter Smith's widow. They still hold the original horse hair but were recovered once with muslin and the red corduroy much later. The pews themselves are also original. - The altar furniture was not there until after 1860 but is of that time period and was recovered in 2014.
