Hartshorn Ridge Church of Christ - church and cemetery
The Hartshorn Ridge Church of Christ celebrated its One Hundredth
Anniversary, October 24, 1987. It is located on County Road 12 in
Wayne Township.
There were ninety people present for the celebration, mostly
descendants of the original founders. James Gallagher was the main speaker.
Worship is now conducted regularly with approximately thirty in attendance.
It is not known when this congregation had its beginning. The
building first used for both a school and church meeting house was
located near by. The first recorded baptism was in the year 1856 when
George Washington Hartshorn was baptized by Solomon Devore. In 1860
Martha Beardmore by William White, 1861 Thomas Beardmore by Ephriam
Doolittle, 1871 Becky Piatt by David Hendershot, 1879 E.F. Givens by
Joseph Nugent.
There were twenty-seven persons present at the Fifty Year Celebration
that were at the original dedication. They had fifteen speakers.
Ada Smith Parks was in attendance at both the One Hundredth and
Fiftieth Anniversaries. The following account of church history was
made available to me by her brother, Emerson Smith.
The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Hartshorn Ridge Church of Christ was
celebrated on Sunday September 26, 1937.
In the spring of 1887 the members and citizens supporting the Church
of Christ at Hartshorn Ridge decided they should have a better house
in which to meet.
A meeting was called to decide the location and to secure the ground.
Samuel Meridith Hartshorn and James Hartshorn were solicited as to
the ground and S.M. Hartshorn very willingly donated the ground for
the church lot and James Hartshorn enough ground for a cemetery lot
at the rear of the church. A building committee was appointed,
namely: Euphroneous Pryor, James Hartshorn, Thomas Lucas and George
W. Hartshorn, Sr.
All of the above donated very liberally in time and solicitors were
sent out to gather money and material to be used in the construction
of the church.
Jonathan Hendershot was placed in charge of drying of lumber which
was taken to the planing mill at Stafford which was operated by John
Flowers and David Blair.
The carpenter work was given to Reuben Tanner. He was assisted by
Emory Holland, Sam Holland, Asbury Oden and S. E. Miracle.
It was first planned not to place a bell or a cupola on the church,
but James Hartshorn, not being satisfied, said he would furnish the
bell, if they would place the cupola.
He went to Charles Oblinger, a merchant at Lewisville. Mr. Oblinger
gave a good donation the said he would order the bell at no extra
charge. Mr. Hartshorn solicited other friends and reported more money
than the cost of the bell which was used in construction of the cupola.
Ministers present at dedication were: Barker, Dunn, W.O. Thompson,
with W.O. Thompson in charge, at the afternoon service, it was
necessary for him to stand in the door to deliver his masterful address.
The erection of the church was begun about May 15 and was dedicated
August 28, the same year.
The cemetery is located in Wayne Township, Monroe County, Ohio, and is # 8234 (Hartshorn Ridge Cemetery) in "Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003", compiled by the Ohio Genealogical Society.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature ID for the cemetery is 1963763 (Hartshorn Ridge Cemetery).
