The Dry Creek United Brethren Church - Farmer Township

The Dry Creek U.B. Church was organized in 1887 in Farmer Township and was located in Section 26 near Dry Creek, one mile east and one and one-half miles south of Farmer.  Eventually, about 1915, the church merged with the Williams County United Brethren Church.  However, some families went to the Union church in Farmer, as well. The church building no longer stands.

This photo of the Men's Bible Class was probably taken between 1900 and 1910.
