PAGE 2-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER Twice Told Tales FORTY YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 29, 1932) In the year 1840 when McHenry was a mere hamlet, composed of a few houses and a handful of struggling in­ dustrious pioneers, the M.E. Church society was organized. At that time Rev. H. Stocking was the presiding elder, or as they are now called district superintendent. William Vallet was the first preacher in charge. The McHenry Circuit included three appointments, McHenry, Solon and Queen Ann Prairie. In 1845 Hebron was included and in 1846 English Prairie and Montalona were included in the circuit. In the early days the society met in the school house and later meetings were held in the Baptist church, which stood on the corner where the Dr. D.J. Wells residence was erected. Not until 1860 was the present church building erected while the circuit was in charge of 13, 1972 Rev. C. Lazenbee. The par­ sonage was built in 1879.
