What was one time a laurel and white growth graced by rhododendron is now the setting of Fall Run United Methodist Church. The land for the church and cemetery was donated by Emery Berry and wife Caroline on June 14, 1890, and was cleared by G. S. Lowther and his son Harrison.

The church was built of white poplar, which was donated, and labor was free. It had the first ringing bell for miles around. The lectern was hand made by Jefferson Mick.

Dedication services were in 1892 and first pastor was John Cobb. In the flood of July 24, 1935, the church was washed from its foundation facing the hill to the present location facing Rt. 19, with very little damage.

The first members as of May 1893 were Emery Berry (Leader), D. H. Prince, G. S. Lowther, C. B. Hardman, J. R. Casto, W. H. Hardman, M. E. Hardman, S. F. Hardman, Virginia Hardman, Cora Prince, P. W. Hardman, M. M. Hardman, Lidda Heaton, Cora White, Bessie Lowther, Sara Mick, Simeon Ware, Abraham Sponaugle, Cora Cummings, Lillie Barrickham, Otis Barrickham, W. L. Prince, Mary Sponaugle, Mary Ware, Edwin Cummins, Maggie Cummins, William Cummins, E. M. Casto, George Brown, R. W. Casto, John White, Sara Ware, L. W. Ware and T. B. Hardman.

The church in the vale is still ringing out its welcome to its many friends near and far. Submitted by: Eva Bull.
