Knoxville Methodist Church

M.E. Church South, At Knoxville

Richmond Township

According the 1881 Ray County History, The M.E. Church South at Knoxville was organized in 1837. The Rainwaters, Kincaids, Milsteads and Burgesses were among the original members.

The building formerly owned by this church was erected about thirty yars ago, and has grown so unstable that it is no longer used as a place of worship. It was sold March 26, 1881, for one hundred dollars. A new frame building is in process of erection, which, when completed, will have cost about two thousand dollars.
