The following is from Thomas STONE 27 NOV 2001:
I recently received some information on the Russellville
United Church Of Christ located in Russellville, PA, from a person in that area. It is information from the History of the church. It states that George Russell and his wife, Catherine, settled in the Woodcock Valley in PA (which is where Russellville is located) in 1795. George purchased the land where the church is located in 1823. In 1830, he built a log structure on the property to be used as a school and church.
The structure was about 24' X 28' and the cost of construction was about $80.00. The church and property were sold to the trustees of the church in 1833 for the sum of one dollar. Michael Stone was one of the trustees to receive the church and two years later married George & Catherine Russell's daughter, Catherine. She was his second wife as his first wife had passed away.
