BAKER’S RUN: The Baker’s Run
Church on Hardy Charge was built in
1912 under the pastorate of Rev. Isaac
Summers, and dedicated in the same
year. It is of frame structure. In 1960,
Sunday school rooms, dining room and
kitchen were added at a total cost of
$10,000, and they were dedicated in
1961. In 1964 it has a membership of
125.
BETHANY: The first United Brethren class to worship in the Cootes
Store community was an appointment on the Singers Glen charge, at which
time their place of worship was just across the river from Cootes Store in a
union church.
In 1910 a church was dedicated by Dr. E. U. Hoenshel at Glasses on
the Singers Glen Circuit; one-half interest being ours and the other half
being the Methodists. G. B. Fadeley was pastor. This church was located a
short distance south of Cootes Store on the road to Singers Glen.
In 1919 the Cootes Store or Glasses congregation was detached from
the Singers Glen Circuit and attached to Broadway, a newly formed circuit.
In 1936 the congregation at Cootes Store, on Broadway Circuit,
purchased the Baptist church and on May 17 of that year, rededicated it as
Bethany United Brethren Church, at a cost of $700, all provided. P. W.
Fisher was pastor. Some years later this church was sold, and in 1964 the
Bethany congregation moved back to and now worships at the Glasses
location. Present membership is 138.
