Notes for CRAWFORD B. ANDREWS:
Lillian Wiley Munn: "Methodism was organized in Emmet as early as 1855, and Dan Tyree, Dr. John E. Snell, Jim Vickers, Crawford Anders (sp), Ambrose McComb, and others erected a log house which was used for community purposes such as church and school. If this property was ever deeded, it is not know. The church is known as Bethel. In the winter of 1879 or 1880, Rev. Thomas J. Sage(?), a preacher and the father of our Rev. Jesse A. Sage, moved to Emmet. Dr. John E. Snell and others were like-minded. Dr. Snell gave the land and much of the material used in the building. Under the leadership of Rev. George E. Sexton, in 1891, a larger and better building replaced the old building. In 1918, with Rev. F.C. Canon as pastor, a beautiful brick building replaced the frame structure."
