The following article taken from the "Cleveland Leader" of Wednesday, July 22nd 1896, to a tribute to the early Manx settlers in Ohio, when the city of Cleveland was but a village: The Manx people of Cleveland were mostly Methodists in their denominational following and in the early days public services were held in the Gaelic language near Warrensville. One of the earliest preachers was a Methodist minister - Pastor Cannell - who exercised great influence and who held services in his own log house and later led in having a church edifice erected on the Corlett farm. He was seventy three years old when he came to America A large proportion of the membership of the old Wesleyan Methodist Church which existed on Euclid Avenue years ago, were Manx people, and many of them are members of the First Methodist Church.
