Conference Reports. Table 8, below, identifies some early pastors for Lacey Springs Circuit.
In the years before 1921, membership data was recorded only for the charge and not for the individual
churches and other appointments. Table 9, below that, provides the names of appointed pastors and
membership data for Bethel U.B. and EUB church (1921-48). Note that “Year Ends 1856” means
conference year 1855-56 and that the data were reported at the 1856 Annual Conference. Thus, John
Ruebush served the Lacey Springs charge during 1855-56; and, much later, J. D. Donovan served the
charge 1886-89.
