Grace United Methodist Church will soon be celebrating its 200th birthday. Church historian Rich Gotshall is looking for items and pre-1940 photographs related to the Franklin church.
Other items of interest are from the church’s centennial display in 1925:
- Diary or journal of Rev. Isaac Crawford, possibly donated by Mattie Bergen;
- Saddle and saddle bags of Rev. Joseph Cotton, possibly donated by Mayme Johnson;
- Portrait or photo of Thomas Willliams, husband of Mary Van Sciock Williams.
If you have any items to lend or donate, contact Gotshall at [email protected] or 317-736-9167.
