    In the Spring of 1866, a group of sixteen persons (representing several denominations) met and organized Anna’s Presbyterian Church.  In 1868, the members built a wooden building upon the present site complete with organ and bell, the same bell being used now within the present building.  Dedicated on June 28th, 1868, the frame building was described in the current newspaper as “being spacious, fine, and commodious”.
    In 1898, the present limestone building was constructed at a cost of $16,500 and was lighted by a gas generating machine.
