e A small log school had been built in 1809 also on Munn‘s farm. In 1820, a tiny cemetery was deedâ€" ed to the community. But herein lies a controversy. (Hallelujah! This may well be the reason I like history so much). Campbell, being a man of science by education and profession, doesn‘t much care for "fuzzy facts". While he accepts that there was a religious community operating around Munn‘s Corners, meeting irf‘rom time to time in the school ouse, in homes, and even in the pub (not to mention assorted ‘camp meetings‘), he maintains the first Adding finally, "It‘s just part of the human psyche â€" we like to know where we come from, I guess." Just so. The tiny congregation of pioâ€" neers who first organized at the home of Daniel Munn circa 1823 had no resident clergy. Since the latâ€" ter part of the 18th century they had, however, been served by Methodist Circuit Riders ("saddleâ€" baggers" they were called), who came up from New York State on an irregular basis to thump their Bibles and preach the ‘fire and brimstone‘ of the Old Testament.

"Well," he said (a little impaâ€" tiently I think), "it was an interestâ€" ing thing to do. History," he said, "is a way of documenting the truth, as near as we can come." It was not until 1844 that the original Munn‘s Church was conâ€" structed, at the northeast corner of 6th and Dundas, on land donated by Jordan Munn â€" one of Daniel‘s sons. It was a simple, rectangular woodâ€"frame building with a single door. Not much more is known about it since, according to historian Campbell, it was razed in 1898 to make way for the beautiful brick church still very much in evidence.

In other words, these good women started counting from 1844. I think they probably knew more about when the church really got started than we do."

They say the 1823 date is based on the forming of the congregation â€" not the building of the church â€" common practice in measuring the history of a church group. They seem genuinely sorry to hear Campbell is unhappy. Munn‘s United Church today is the very model of a modern house of (Christian) worship, according to the Reverends Forbes and Palmer. They pride themselves in friendliâ€" ness and quality of worship. And while it is comforting and important to cast back on the strong roots of the church, Munn‘s today is "forâ€" wardâ€"looking, bursting with energy and the vitality of new growth."
