The Church of the Latter Day Saints.

The first meetings of this church were held at Amboy in 1859. An organization was effected here of probably one hundred members. From this place they were sent out to preach, and in 1862 effected the establishment of the church here. In 1868, they erected their present church edifice, locating it nearly one mile north of town. Regular services are maintained here, the membership being one hundred and eighteen, with an average attendance of sixty at the Sunday-school. They are in no way connected with the Mormon doctrine, and do not believe in or practiri its teachings. The presiding elder of this branch is Thomas Charles.
