Oak Grove Wesleyan Methodist Church

-----       

Oak Grove Wesleyan Methodist Church, in Fairview Township, was organized July 30, 1862. Their house of worship, known as Oak Grove Chapel, was built the same year, and stands on land purchased of William Bland. This congregation sprang from the Methodist Episcopal Church, the separation occurring on account of radical differences on the slavery question. 

From History of Mercer County, 1888, page 526.
