AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. The African Methodist Episcopal Church was attached to the Galena Conference, and was organized November 26, 1870, with seven members, and W. J.-Davis, Elder. At first, services were held in halls and private houses. The congregation increased rapidly, and, in 1879, a little stone church on Locust, between Sixth and Seventh streets, erected in 1836-37, was purchased of the Christian Church for $1,500
In 1911 the congregation numbered 150 communicants.
